How to open Seagate Freeagent 500GB Case

my computer suddenly won't recognize it. any ideas?

Yes, Buy WD instead.

Good video thank you.. it helpd.. love the music to it too..

Thank you for the video! An uncle went to USA and gave me this same hardware as gift, but the thing sounds like a blender+chain aw when plugged and windows see it but cannot use it. None recover tool works with it.

I cannot return the HD to warranty since my uncle didn't give me the package or documents, as well send anything to USA is very expensive. :/ So it's up to me if I can replace the HD by itself. So your video is a good start! :)

I am having technical difficulties with the product itself, the last time i used it was last year.
I plugged in the wires that were required, but the light does not even come on?
Nor does it appear on my computer? ANY HELP GUYS?

i am having the same problem
any ideas?

Guys, I was quoted over $700 to get my hard drive recovered from best buy..Acording to "Geek Squad" it was a level 2 problem such as the I/O device error..No windows pc's would even recognize the drive...The solution for recovering all that information from the drive was simple..Just got a sata to usb adapter and hooked it up to a macbook...problem solved...all of it pulled right up..the pc's with the sata connection would not work...but the mac did...

good song

thanks very much for the video it saved me much time busting into my HDD. You rock!
