Buffalo External Hard Drive no longer powers up

I have had my Buffalo HB300 for several years now and it has always worked faultlessly until this morning.
This version is powered by a power adapter, which is a transformer with a dual output of 5v and 12v via a round multi-pin plug that goes into the back.
I switched on the switch at the rear of the device this morning to power up and the front indicator lights came on momentarily, then went off again.
Has anyone any idea what might be the issue and how I can fix it?
