Yes as you may have guessed I was doing something stupid (trying to watch a movie in bed on my laptop, pulled it towards the bed forgetting that the HD was plugged in) and as a result my 250gb External HD no longer works as it should. Specifically, when I plug it in, windows detects that there is an external drive, but that it is inaccessible. Upon further investigation, it looks like the usb connector thing in the back may have gotten loose due to it being yanked out at an angle by gravity. However, I don't know if that alone would cause a single to be reaching the computer but have it not able to interact.
I have checked I/O Magic's site, and I do have a 1 year warranty, however, it doesn't cover "being a dumbass and dropping it on the ground". Normally I would have no problem pleading that it just stopped working, but this thing has some rather large scratches in the side from the fall.
I plan to use a friend's usb cable tomorrow to see if anything is wrong in that area, but other than that...
does anyone have any suggestions for me as to what I can do? Yes, I can go buy a new one, but if theres anything to else to be done I'd like to know.
Thanks.
