WD External Drives My Passport Wireless

Connecting via WiFi the hard disk immediately disconnects and the power indicator and the WiFi indicators blink rapidly.

Apart from this

The connecting via cable shows a power surge and eventually disconnects.

Please find me a possible solution for atleast one issue.

Is it just the two wifi and power lights that blink, or all six lights? If all six lights are blinking. . . . that is a “bad sign”. Try rebooting twice (like any other flakey computer device) then try a full reset by pressing and holding both buttons at once… . .then start looking at the RMA process. Just for giggles, plug the device into the wall to make sure it has all the juice it needs.

For the USB cable. . . are you plugging into a computer, or a USB hub? I think this device would be dodgy and act as you describe if you are using a non-powered USB hub. I would try again using a powered (one with a power cord to the wall; not USB bus powered).

For plugging into a computer, try looking at the Device Manager (assuming Windows machine) and see if there are any errors you can clear on the USB ports. (oh. . . .and rebooting the computer once or three times won’t hurt either)
