Hi,
I have a MyBook Premium 500GB (wd5000D032-000) it is probably about 6 - 8 years old, but it has always worked until recently in an office move it did not turn on. I am not 100% sure I used the right power adapter, I do not use it often and could not remember which adapter went to it. I used one that says
AC Input 100-240 Vac .65A Max 47-63 Hz -
DC Output 12Vdc === 2 A
The blue ring never lit up so I thought it must have been the wrong one so I ordered one from Amazon ( http://www.amazon.com/WD1600B014-RNU-WD2500D032-000-WDG1NC5000N-WD1200B014-RNU-WD2500B015-RNN/dp/B0030BBH5I) that reads
Input 100-240 V ~ 1.5A 50/60 Hz
Output 12V === 3A
When I first plug it in the blue ring will light up and then go out. So I’m thinking I should have read the first adapter because the DC power might have damaged something? (not an electrical engineer…or close)
Is it possible for me to revive it? How can I troubleshoot & fix, maybe just blew a fuse?
