Hello,
My Free Agent 320 wouldn't start up today and from what I can see the drive has bricked.

If I send to Seagate to they try and repair or my data lost?

Has anyone successfully fixed this problem at least long enough to get data off it?

Thanks,

Xtrude

If your drive is not spinning, but beeping, its most likely motor spindle is stalled.

Can you hear the drive trying to spin up? Any vibration? Did you drop it? Did you overvolt it with the wrong adapter?

Can you see the drive with this Microsoft utility?

If your data are more valuable than your warranty, then you will need to remove the drive from the enclosure and connect it directly to your motherboard. You may want to ask Seagate Tech Support for their OK before you do, though.

Seagate only warrants your drive, not your data.
