Have you tried a different usb cable with it? I have one and it was problematic until I got a new cable. hth

not going to be your usb cable as they are not standard.

this is a design flaw with the units that can fail out of the blue wont give you a warning it failing
it just does.

it might pickup in hardware but not seen in windows and the gb amount will be 0

going to be a expensive data recovery job not that easy and nope no DIY can do this.
