Mines 'clicking', is it fooked?

The power lead is a bit suspect, up until now I've never noticed the bare wires coming from it

The drive itself is not powering up at all, the light isnt coming on and its clicking.
I've done various t'internet searches, alot says its the wire, quiet alot says its the drive

Anyone had experience of this???
Its a lacie 1 tb

cheers

 

Yeah its fucked.

if its still working id get all your data backed up on another hard drive drive etc, if its not working at all ive heard you can put the hard drive in the freezer for abit, and that will make it work long enough to rescue your data

 

I'd try removing it from the caddy and fitting directly into the computer too!

 

The computer doesnt see the drive, I think i'll just bin it.

 

I bought a cheapo hard drive a few years back and had all my stuff on it, pics of my kids,family etc and it suddenly wouldnt work i somehow managed to get the pics off and its got the same clicking issue as you! i went and bought a 500gb lacie rugged hard drive and touch wood its been fine for about 3 years now ive not got it backed up though so im going to have to do that at one point! good luck with getting it sorted and hopefully it doesnt have too much valuable stuff on it

 

if its out of warranty no harm in taking it apart and installing it directly into your pc to retrieve the data..

Ill stick it in my desktop, see if that makes any difference

 

update,
An Idiot i am

the computer wouldnt recongize the hard drive,

plus i found out the drive has infact two years warranty, The receipt i have states it only has one, Yes you guessed it, I voided the warranty by removing the drive from the case

I pity the fool, who doesnt store warranty cards away in a safe place. I pitty myself

 

Ahhh i kinda feel bad as i suggested it as well!!

Sorry dude!
