Good day,
“My Passport 2tb” drive i own stopped working recently. it is not detected by windows but after some time shows up in the disk management as unallocated space.
There is no clicking sound (not yet) just the normal humming sound the drive makes when it is inserted.
The light in front of the drive blinks too
The day it stopped working.
It was working one fine day when i plugged it out forcibly from the usb slot because it was not ejecting successfully.
Next day tried it and it was not working.
What i have tried so far.
-Putting it in a freezer and then plugging it in. Didnt work.
-Updated the Firmware of the drive. Successful but still not detected. (Does this mean it is reading/writing successfully?)
-Tried “chkdsk”. Gave an error.
-Tried various softwares for repairing/recovering data/diagnosing the problem. none worked
Any help is appreciated.
Gracias.
