HELP! USB port broken on my hard drive

Hello, my USB port on my drive just broke off and now I can hear the port sliding around inside the hard drive. Obviously I can no longer connect and. I’m extremely worried about loosing my data. Any help or tips about fixing this would be appreciated.

Hibridoo,

Unfortunately, the only way to recover the Data is to contact the Data Recovery company and get the Data Recovered and apply for the RMA if the drive is in under warrant period.

Please refer to the link given below in order to contact the recommended 3rd party Data Recovery companies.

Geeze, just take it to a PC repair shop. The port may be quite fixable.

The photo of the OP’s drive doesn’t look like any MP Wireless I ever saw. it appears to be a non-wireless basic My Passport.

Yep, at least once a week someone posts in the MPW when what they have is a MP. The photo was a big clue on this one.

Hi Bridoo,

I suggest you repair the port for further access to your data. But in case if you will be unable to do same, then you can contact for data recovery service to recover your data.
