model number is HD -CE1.0TLU2-US
Drive is not that old and was working perfectly. I used it to back up all my mp3's / pics and docs before wiping a HD that was on the verge of dieing. Got a new computer and was going to begin transferring files when I get a constant blue flashing led on the unit.
I flashed the unit with the latest firmware using the LAN connection tool and that was succesful, but the light is still blinking and it does not access the HD.
When switched on (USB) i hear the computer recognize that there is a usb device plugged in, and it also recognizes when it is plugged out. but the blue led never stays on , it always blinks and I never have access to the device.
I have a lot of valuable and irreplaceable files on that unit and i really really would be devastated if I lost all the data.
any suggestions? fixes?
I am even to the point where I would rip apart the unit and try to use it as a slave drive directly...will that even work?
please help me!
