Depends on where you live. Look at the back of your drive or on the old adaptor for the requirements (5v/1a or 12v/.... or something else) or take these parts to the next electronics shop or computer repair shop. A new one should only cost a few bucks.

My Setup:Bytecc Model ME-535 hard drive enclosure with Seagate 80GB SATA drive (ST380815AS) hard drive. My Problem: I plugged in but didn't see anything in My Computer.My Solution:After Windows finds your device -> Start -> Run -> compmgmt.msc -> OK -> click on Disk Management -> a pop up will ask if you want to initialize the disk, select MBR -> OK -> your disk should show up as unallocated -> right click on that disk -> New Simple Volume -> Next -> next -> Assign drive letter: E -> Next -> Format this volume NTFS with quick format -> Next -> Finish -> It takes a minute or two to finish formatting -> Now shows up in disk management as "Disk1: New Volume (E:) -> My Computer -> see E drive now and it is working!

Thry this: turn your computer OFF. Gently unplug and replace the data cable connection to the computer several times. Do the same to the drive end of the cable. Leave one end unplugged. Turn on the computer and when the Mac os is set up and waiting for you, plug the drive in and see if the computer recognizes and reads the drive. The problem is usually corrosion on the contacts that prevent proper contact.

change the USB cable

I think the bet way is to go to system restore and restore it to the day you put ext drive in it should solve the problem remember to backup any new software that was put in after that date

I assume it used to. try it in another USB port / PC if still no go may be faulty.

I don't think BYTECC sells complete external hard drives. But they do sell the enclosures. People buy the enclosures and install a hard drive in them and, now you have a working external hard drive. I have don't this before, but I have never used BYTECC before. You can download the drivers for there enclosures at there website:

They have several different versions, Just pick the correct one, hopefully the enclosure has some markings or a sticker identifying the model.

SOunds like a possible over heat inside the case or the power supply is not stable. Try running it with the case partially open and seeing if there is any variation on  the board.

To open the case of the BYTECC ME-350V4, you will need to remove the screws on the back of the case. Once the screws are removed, you can carefully lift the top of the case off to access the internal components. Be sure to take extra care when handling the case as it may contain sensitive components.

you can probably uninstall the drive in Device Manager ( dont delete driver ) then in device manager scan for new devices let it find and install the drive, it Should be fine. good luck

A drive that is formatted in the PC format that your machine can recognize and read. It will not work with Mac stuff.
