Isaanbiker Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I've had this 1 TB external HD for some years and always encountered problems with the connection. After spending some time ( because the HD was always spinning) I've come to the conclusion that not the HD wa sbad, only a bad connection at the main connector. Taking it apart showed me that it's not an ordinary case they were using. ZThe HD sits in a rubber that's protecting it from drops. I only soldered a few points and the damn thing works like a new one. Just a heads up for some of you who might think their HD has died. I've got all my files back that i was missing, without bigger problems. If you hear it spinning, it could be the wire, or the connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 It's often a bad connection. For those who are not familiar with soldering it's probably easier to buy a new case and switch the disk. That requires often only a screwdriver. Here is a case for 290THB - just the first one I saw. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ugreen-usb-30-external-box-hard-drive-25-external-hard-drive-enclosure-adapter-usb-30-to-sata-hard-disk-case-housing-30847-for-sandisk-wd-seagate-toshiba-samsung-hdd-ssd-6tb-hard-drive-25-i604556887-s1137732390.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
