My Book Essential not recognized

My power adapter became damaged. Bought a new one and hooked it up. The drive light is blinking and the drive isn’t being recognized. Suggestions?

Welcome to the Community.

Where did you purchase this power adapter? It could have affected your hard drive if it is not certified for compatibility.
