I have an 500G passport from Costco that stopped working looked like this one. [image: Western Digital 500GB My Passport Elite Hard Drive] I took the case off and hooked it up to USB cables with an external power supply and it started to work again. Hope that helps. http://www.showmecables.com/product/USB-2-0-to-IDE-or-Serial-ATA-Drive-Adapter.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=merchant&utm_campaign=30504&gclid=CJnv5tSK57YCFStyQgodfRcALQ On Thu, Apr 25, 2013 at 3:52 PM, Jamie <jamie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Can anyone on this list recommend a hard drive recovery service both for > reliability and price? > > My brother, the photographer, had several years worth of pictures and > videos stored on a 1T Western Digital Passport portable drive.
