Removed a working WD 60GB HD last year with very little use and when
recently tried to use there is No Sound from the motor starting.

Am guessing it is the contacts or pin connections. Have had it happen
before where the HD did not start and wiggled the plug and
everything was OK.

Appreciate any tips or suggestions!

Thanks

Ken


The first thing to do is unplug everything and plug it back in.
Sometimes, for whatever reason something doesn't sit right.

Next, try just power alone. You didn't say SATA (keyed) or 40-pin IDE
(not always keyed), so it's possible the cable could be backwards. That
will keep some drives from spinning up.
