WD My Book 3 TB HD - USB 3.0 - 1.9" WDBFJK0030HBK-NESN

I have tried multiple power adapters, USB cords, different computers, different O/S.
Hard Drive powers on. The light is on, however it's no longer recognized by my computer.
Discovery tool does not recognized the hard drive.
From my research there could be an issue with the enclosure.
Specifically the USB 3.0 to SATA bridge (part 4060-775135-001 REVP1)

The bridge is known to go bad. If you find another bridge with the same encryption chip it should see your drive as long as the hard drive itself is not faulty.

Thank you Nerdface Killah (lol)
You are absolutely right it was the bridge. Pretty sure its due to a few drops. I took it to an expert, recovering my data and sending the drive back to WD
