Clicky for Specs.
I tried to access the hdd from downstairs, but my 'Network Places' showed 0 items.
Went to check, the blue backlight was on, but no sound is heard.
Pressed the switch from the back... nothing it won't power off.
Removed the power cable to power it off, and put it back on. Only the blue light comes up. No spinning sound is heard.
Any suggestions what I can do? I mean inside there's a normal 1TB drive but since it's external (goes into router) it's not like I can plug it in another pc and test it.
4 hours later edit: Well, I'd be confuzzled!
I tried everything short of opening it up or putting it in the freezer. I even swung it around like a frisbee without throwing it (read that somewhere...) but nothing worked.
So I was holding it, and with the power on I started pushing the power cable back and forth, powering it on and off. For like 20 similar action nothing happened, then all of a sudden it started spinning in my arms!
Whew. I've just backed it up on my hard drive, I had years of photos of my daughter on it....
Now the Lacie can go to hell if it decides to stop again.
Mwahaha.

but that just means the dock is getting power. the logic chip could be damaged (preventing communication) or power circuitry might be bad (preventing enough power to run the drive) a bunch of things could be bad but an LED isnt enough to say its all good. just means that the flow of power isnt disrupted to...well the LED.
me thinking caps fell of and gone in the bin
