USB HDD 3T doesn't work after one year only

Hello,
I get a external HDD Toshiba from RLO24 i bought the 08.02.20113 and few weeks after it didn't work. No time to contact you and i thought i w'll find a solution to get all my datas back But I lost 3 T of Data? and no way for any computer to recognise my HDD? It seems that it's the physical body is dead? So what can I do?
Thank you to help me out.

PLEASE HELP ME

Its pity to hear that the HDD does not work anymore.
The computer could not recognize the external HDD because of two reasons:
1) the HDD controller within in the HDD case has started to malfunction
2) the HDD is faulty.
In 1st case you could try to remove the 3.5 HDD from the case and could try to connect the HDD to another SATA controller just to check if you will get access to the data.
In 2nd case the HDD could no longer be used :(

  • My Zii Sound D5 stopped working after one year

    Hi there,
    After one year of enjoying my beloved Zii Sound D5 it stopped working with any apparent reason. It just does not switch on.
    I dont have any technical knowledge but after reading a few messages in the forum my guess is that the problem is related to a power spike.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

    Tobago82,
    Have you tried plugging the speaker to another power outlet? If you have not done so already, please contact our Customer Support for assistance.

  • USB Mouse / Keyboard doesn't work after resuming from hibernate

    I am using a USB device that splits out to 2 PS2 ports, one for a mouse, one for a keyboard. It works great, but when I put my X61 into hibernate, the mouse and keyboard do not work when I resume from hibernate.
    I installed all the relevant patches and power manager drivers from the driver downloads page, but my mouse still doesn't work.
    Can someone point me to the correct download or shed some light on this?
    Thank you!

    I have this same problem with this same device. It is a "composite USB device".
    What I've notice is that the problem happens mostly with USB 1.1 ports. When the device is connected to a USB 2.0 port the problem doesn't happen always.
    It depends on the computer though. I added a PCMCIA USB 2.0 adaptor to my laptop that has USB 1.1 only. And when I connect the USB-to-PS/2 cable to the USB 2.0 my mouse sometimes work after suspend/hibernate but sometimes doesn't.
    However, on my other desktop computer, which has integrated USB 2.0 ports, this problem has never happened (I haven't tested it exhaustively though).
    This is a Windows bug of course. Everything related to USB 1.1 support is buggy in Windows. One more example is the annoying (and possibly catastrophic) "Delayed write error" that appears when you use a external hard drive plugged to a USB 1.1 port.
    I guess M$ is focusing their efforts on making USB 2.0 to work well and they have forgotten about USB 1.1. Or it could a problem related to "USB composite devices", hard to know.

  • IPod doesn't work after 1 year - costs $250 to fix????!?!

    My wife got me this ipod for graduation last year. I am just a couple months outside the 'warranty' and it doesn't work. The thing cost like $400 at the time.. and it will cost almost $300 to look at fixing.
    This is extremely disappointing. I thought apple made better quality products before this experience. I had to send it back twice because of the battery charge problem and now it just doens't work period.

  • Round-robin Load balancing doesn't work after one instance reboot

    Hi,
              We have two weblogic instances in a cluster. All Http requests are routed through the plug-in for load-balancing(round-robin). One instance in a cluster is shutdown for production maintenance. Now all requests are being forwarded to the second instance. When the first instance is started, only the new users are forwarded to the first instance. The requests from users already logged in are not forwarded to the first instance. Due to this the second instance is over-loaded.
              How to prevent this and make weblogic to distribute the load even after the server restart? This is a production problem and I highly appreciate your responses.
              Thanks,
              Prasad Dantuluri

    it worked when I removed the value entered in the "Unicast Broadcast Channel" and restarted the cluster. Don't know what is supposed to go in that field but hey.

  • My iPhone 3GS stopped working after one year one month, and is totally unresponsive.

    I went to plug my phone into my stereo as I do daily and it just stopped working. Totally unresponsive.

    Charge it for 30 minutes with a wall charger, then disconnect and hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds.
    BTW, it's a holiday in the US and UK, so amazingly enough, many users are out enjoying themselves, which is why you didn't get an instantaneous response. Even then expecting an answer in less than 30 minutes in an all volunteer forum is optimistic.

  • [Solved] Network doesn't work after hibernate?

    Hello!  This is my first legit Linux install so excuse me if I'm a bit slow.  I installed Arch last night and everything went smoothly.  However, after I tested out hibernate on my machine, the network doesn't seem to work.  Just prior to the hibernate, I installed Pidgin and Skype but they worked alright, so I think that the hibernate caused a problem on eth0.
    I have an Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard with an Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller that's using the e1000e driver.  Running "dmesg | grep e1000e" says that it is up.
    I'm not entirely clear here, but from reading, I think that I have several ways of connecting to the network, including network, dhcpcd, networkmanager, and wicd.  I am using wicd so I did the following (or at least I think I am only using wicd):
    #rc.d stop network
    #rc.d stop dhcpcd
    #rc.d stop networkmanager
    Similarly, I put a ! in front of network in rc.conf:
    # /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
    # LOCALIZATION
    # LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
    # DAEMON_LOCALE: If set to 'yes', use $LOCALE as the locale during daemon

    # HARDWARECLOCK: set to "", "UTC" or "localtime", any other value will result
    # in the hardware clock being left untouched (useful for virtualization)
    # Note: Using "localtime" is discouraged, using "" makes hwclock fall back

    Restarting eth0 through wicd-cli still did not work.  I also tried resuscitating the network via instructions on the configure network page before trying to focus solely on wicd.
    I found a few similar problems on the forums by searching "wicd hibernate" and tried several solutions but they did not work.  Several problems seem to be that the network doesn't work after a suspend because I guess the stuff in RAM did not get saved?  But people were able to restart the network by running "/usr/lib/wicd/autoconnect.py" and I wasn't able to get this to work.  As a final effort, I added "resume" into mkinitcpio.conf and placed the machine into sleep again to see if it may magically reset something but of course this did not happen .
    mkinitcpio.conf:

    # BINARIES
    # This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
    # wish into the CPIO image. This is run first, so it may be used to
    # override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
    # (Existing files are NOT overwritten if already added)
    # BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
    BINARIES=""
    # FILES
    # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
    # as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.

    # like so:

    # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
    # order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
    # help on a given hook.
    # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
    # 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
    # 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
    # Examples:
    ## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
    ## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.

    ## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
    ## work as a sane default

    Is wicd causing these problems or did I configure something else improperly?  Would appreciate any help to get eth0 up again!

    Ok, I think I've made some progress!  Hibernate definitely affects my network connection.  Could this be a kernel 3.0 problem?
    I noticed that ifconfig showed eth0 without an inet addr, just an inet6 addr for the longest time.  e1000e seemed to be loading up ok.  I'm not certain here, but I think that meant the dhcp settings didn't stick, or something along those lines.
    Trying to use dhcpcd like the instructions here did not work.  By some chance, one attempt did work and while it did, I downloaded and installed dhclient.  After that one successful attempt, renewing the DHCP lease via dhcpcd did not work again.
    Luckily though, I found that running "dhclient eth0" worked.  My DHCP settings seemed to have somehow gotten messed up after my initial, problematic hibernate to the point where none would stick, even after a reboot.  Manually typing in "dhclient eth0" would get eth0 working, so I decided to add it to the bottom of /etc/rc.local, like in the example on the networking page.
    Now, eth0 works after a boot.  However, after the daemons load up during the boot process, my computer takes a long time to get to the login prompt (this is relatively speaking, since I am on a SSD and the boot process used to be blazing fast before).  I'm pretty sure it's because I added "dhclient eth0" to /etc/rc.local.
    I should say that even with these changes, after a hibernate, my eth0 still does not work and if it weren't for the edit to /etc/rc.local, eth0's inet settings would still not stick after a reboot (that is to say, the hibernate does do something to my network settings). 
    Is this the correct/most efficient way to fix my DHCP problem?  Can I fix my "eth0 after hibernate" issue?  Also, can I make my DHCP settings boot up without changes to /etc/rc.local so that I can get a fast boot again (still not sure how it was able to work before without my edit)?

  • USB Hub(s) no longer working after 10.8.5 update

    Installed the 10.8.5 update via software update on my iMac 3.4Ghz i7 (no DVD drive) and had the Bluetooth unavailable issue I have seen mentioned elsewhere. Managed to restore Bluetooth via a restartwith all USB devices disconnected. However I have two USB hubs that no longer work. One is a colourful freebie so maybe not a surprise but the other is a powered D link USB 2.0 DUB-H7 which worked fine before the update. Now no device that is connected to it is recognized no matter which USB port the hub  is plugged in to. Leaves me somewhat short of USB ports.

    I've been struggling with this for 2 days, since I upgraded to 10.8.5 which I needed to go to get the latest iTunes, which I needed to upgrade my iPhone and iPad to IOS7 . . . yes, right down the garden path I walked
    MacBook Pro 17", early 2009.
    After the 10.8.5 upgrade Bluetooth is Not Available, same as seanluck13.
    -System Preferences: no sign of Bluetooth
    -System Search: no sign of Bluetooth
    -System Profile Information: Bluetooth: No Information Found
    -So Bluetooth is absent, removed, not present -- AGHHHHH!!!!!
    Apple BT keyboard and trackpad can't be used. MacBook trackpad is worn out and I get wrist strain trying to activate it!
    I read on a forum that a fix was to reinstall the system over the internet after a CMD-OPT-R restart. Did that -- 5 HOURS LATER -- NO CHANGE, BLUETOOTH STILL ABSENT !@(%&( )TY(@Q#*!!
    Please someone help me before I throw this Mac down the garbage shoot. At the moment that's only a fantasy.

    I think that you have multiple sound devices and their boot order changes after each reboot.

  • My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue?

    My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue? Also, When I open the Keyboard Viewer, the letters will highlight only if I hold the modifier key(s) "Control" or "Control and Option". I really need help with this. I don't have any other computer to try it on, so I will have to test it on a friends computer sometime. But perhaps solutions that I can try right now? Thanks.

  • My iPhoto doesn't work after installing lion?

    My Iphoto doesn't work after installing lion.
    it suggest that I have to instal iphoto again.
    where can I find this

    If it suggests that you install iPhoto again, install iPhoto again. In your Macs Box that it came in there should be 2 Discs, one is an Applications CD (You need this one) And another is the Mac OS X.
    Insert your Applications CD and hold C while the computer is starting up, then you will be walked through the installation of Applications.
