Hello everyone, I’ve had my MyBookLive 1 TB unit for less than a year and it has worked like a charm until very recently. Now, I simply can’t connect to the drive on my network. I have tried connecting it to my PC and did not succeed.
What I can tell from looking at the device is that it seems like the front light is solid green for a couple of minutes and then sloid yellow for a couple of minutes and it just keeps going on. If I look in the back, the green network activity light is blinking regularly and the orange light is on solid.
I hear and feel the drive spinning, but dont hear any activity or clicking.
At this point, I would just like to get my data out of the drive. What do you guys think are my options?
-
Will hitting the reset button on the MBL erase my data? Or will it just reset the firmware on the device and leave my data intact so that I can still get it to it?
-
Can I just open the unit and plug the drive into my PC? (I care more about my data than voiding the warranty)
-
???
Thanks in advance!
