If somehow you get this thing to actually work, kudos! I have no idea what is wrong with it, it doesn't make the dreaded clicking sound, it just wont show up on "My Computer".

Yup it doesn't show up there either

The drive makes no clicking or whirring sound indicating mechanical failure, neither is it fried because i never did smell anything burning incase a circuit went out. I just have no idea at all what is wrong with it, and since it is not in warranty, again i do not know why because it is not even 3 years old o.O, i have no option left.

Did you see the bios when connecting this hdd to your pc. Did it show your hdd in bios. I think your circuit is damaged but no mechanical failure (Did you have dropped it?). You should consult with a pro for your hdd.

Nope i have not checked my BIOS, thats a good idea i should probably do that lol. Do you know anyone at all i can talk to about circuit damage? Oh, nope i have never dropped it. As soon as i take my backup i store it away for a month and retrieve it only when i take my next backup set. It was just sitting in a drawer till i took it out and plugged it in, and that was when i saw it wasn't working. Can't really understand what could have happened and neither can i understand why my drive only had a one year warranty.

Nope, i bought my drive from a retail shop, i never buy branded PC's . Besides, the drive was an external which i removed from its casing after i saw the warranty was no longer valid, in an attempt to see if it would work if i plugged it in as an internal.

Replace/ change SATA and/ or Power cables and see if it works..!

[sjaveri]

Nope it didn't work. It does sort of detect in the bios but it doesn't show the model number or drive capacity like my other drives do. It still shows up there without a model number or capacity lol.

Anyways I have sold this locally to @jhpjigars

Bazaar Feedback Exchanged, closing this thread, thank you to everyone who gave me their suggestions! Maybe @jhpjigars can post if he manages to repair this to working condition?
