WD Elements WDBAAF0015HBK-01 USB 2.0...With WD Smartware password encryption.
Using known to be good cables (I have another WD). USB 2.0 in, power cable in. I can hear disk spin up. WD Smartware password prompt comes up, password entered. Loads very slowly, File Explorer window opens after 1-2 minutes. File folders load after about 4 minutes When trying to open a folder, busy for about 2 minutes. Message: "Location is not available. Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)"
Only outward indication is a blinking lightbar (1-2/sec) connected to the smaller power/usb circuit board.
Any help greatly appreciated, especially concerning if PCB swap is possible with password protection.. Thanks.
