|
|
I think it's a power issue. When I plug it into my laptop, it'll short out and shut my laptop off completely. When I do get it plugged in, my external hard drive will stay on red (not working properly) and won't detect on my laptop..
Any ideas?

Most likely an insufficient PSU (battery). Not really anything you can do about it that I can think of.

just now, yes.
the price is reduced to $4, an almost full functional work of art.
