Hey guys i’m Really gutered as my 640 GB external just took a dumb at me… when i plug the power plug thing in it doesnt even light up or anything!!! not even a spin! 
i have important stuff in there like family photos…
ANYWAY…
i ripped the casing open and stuff. and shoved the internal hard drive into my PC, the sata and the random power thing…
anyway i did that and when i pushed the power button… it turned on for a millisecond and just everything turned off. i was like wtf??? we tryed this on my mates pc and this happened to my mates PC to…
Soo i really need these files and i was wondering wat i would need to do??? maybe i could buy the same moddle and replace the harddrives maybe that would work???
Do u guys think the hard drive is dead??? if soo do u think there is a way to get the files back without opening the harddrive itself???
Hope u guys know ur stuff beacuse i’m acually out of ideas…
