USB Hard drive disconnects when moved

by nildey . Updated 18 years, 6 months ago

Hey all!
I have a 2.5″ HD in an external USB enclosure. It is about a year old and used to work great. Now however, it disconnects at the slightest movement. I’m not talking flipping it upside down or throwing it around, but ANY slight movement. If i leave it alone it works fine. Naturally it has dropped to the floor before, which is probably the cause of this problem.

My question just relates to where the likely damage is. From your experience, what should I look for when opening the case? Is it likely that the problem lies with the hard drive or the case?

Thanks for your answers!
