Hi,
I'm not really sure of how to describe this but here it goes anyway. I have a Freecom Mobile Drive Classic 2.5 " 160 GB usb 2.0.Its been working great since i got it which was at christmas .Anyway, recently when I've plugged it in using the usb it kept cutting out and making a strange clicking noise and my laptop doesn't always recognise its there . However , yesterday it stopped working completely.NO power going to it at all. I took the wire out and where you plug the usb in to the hardrive has been damaged.Some of the prongs have been bent, but ive straightened them out but i think 2 are missing completely.
My question is can this be fixed- either by the manufactorer or by a computer shop and would this erase what was stored on it .I have music and lots of irreplaceable photos stored on there because ironically i thought that i was being sensible by storing them externally as my laptop had crashed once already and i had lost everything saved on it !
Any advice will be gratefully received
Thanks in advance
