external hard drive problem

aver · 08-15-2006, 05:34 AM

hey all, the cord that is connected from the power point to the external hd is damaged (it wont turn on). is there a place where i can buy this sort of cable - the cable is a ps2 to a power adapter. I really dont want to buy another hard drive just for the cable.

thank you.

The first at newegg doesn't look like what you need there. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16812101117 But a good search always finds something. http://www.cmsproducts.com/detail.aspx?ID=233

How old is the external hdd? Is it still under warranty? If so then this sort of thing is covered by the warranty (usually) so you can simply send it back and ask the manufacturer (or the place you bought it from). Why not check a site like ebay for a dud one (damaged HDD of the same model), buy it for a real cheap price because it's nackered and just change over the cables?
