    I just had to replace my power supply in my computer everything works fine except thati cannot get this drive to work. The drive is recieveing power, the light flashes, but the bay will not open or close (if I open it manualy). I tried it in another computer same problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

    EDIT: the drive is being detected, and i had no problems prior to replacing my power supply

    the drive has developed a fault possible caused by a surge either durring failure of your PSU or possibly you plugged the drive in whilst your new psu was running take it in for repair or replace it
