RE: my passport issue
Hi Kamal1239,
I am sorry to hear about it. Based on your post, it may be a hardware issue. I’d like to check with you, after connected the WD My Passport HDD, is the LED light blinking? Do you feel any vibration from the HDD? Is there any error message, when you are accessing the device? Could you give me some more details about that? If possible, please provide a snapshot and the specific error message.
If it’s a hardware issue and the HDD is still under warranty, I suggest you to proceed for an RMA. For RMA service, you may refer to the link below.

Hi Simranrohil,
I am glad to help you out. Based on your post, I'd like to check with you, have you tried to connect the HDD to another PC? Is it working ok from the existing PC? Can you see the HDD used space in Properties? Does it show up in the Disk Management? Could you give me some details about that? If possible, please provide a snapshot and the specific error message. For the meantime, I’d suggest you some basic troubleshooting steps that may help you to solve the issue.
1) Try to connect with different port on same MOBO.
2) Try to use it with a different SATA cable.
3) Try a different HDD to make sure that the problem is with the Port and not with the original disk.
4) And lastly, check the power management in Windows or the BIOS menu as well to see what all options are on and which ones are off due to power settings.
Hope it helps.

hi baldev67,
Based on your post, it may be a hardware issue. To confirm the possible reason, please run the Windows Data Lifeguard Diagnostics in the system.
Please refer to the link below for Data Lifeguard Diagnostics:

If the result status is bad and the HDD is still under warranty, I’d suggest you to proceed for an RMA. For RMA service, you may refer to the link below.

Before you proceed for an RMA, I would suggest you to transfer all important data in the other HDD.
