My MyBook 3T Drive, less than 1 yr old, only used for Time Machine backups, refuses to power up now. Have no idea why; I haven’t even backedup that many times so it’s got plenty of space.
I’ve tried different outlets, also subbed in the power cable from my older MyBook Studio, all to no avail! This is especially maddening since I have many externals, one from 2006 even, that I no longer use but all still power up! makes me think newer is less reliable - !! This really blows!
I need options here -
is there a way to access the drive w/o a power source? not sure I want to submit for replacement since there are backups on there - I really don’t want to give all my data away to someone carte blanche.
fyi, it’s barely 1 yr old - bought it in Aug 2016
