I have a My Book World Edition 1TB with blue rings. It was solid blue when I lost power at home. When the power came back on the LEDs will not come back on. There is power to it because the box has a slight vibration. Im out of ideas. I have a lot of data on that drive that I need. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
It has standard sata harddrive inside so if you don’t mind losing warranty, you can always open My Book, take the drive out and install it into the computer. However if I am correct it uses ext2 filesystem which is cannot be read by windows (not sure about mac). But there are tools like explore2fs or filesystem plugin to Totalcommander which allows to copy data from the drive. I think that most people who know how to build computer from components shoud be able to do it.
As for fixing the MyBook itself I am afraid it could be fried.
