I guess it should be ac adapter because the green light flash, maybe the cable that carry light to the harddisk has damage inside that might cause the flow of light to break before it reach the end of the cable.
It's probably _NOT_ the AC adapter, given that the lamp is "green".
Disassemble the casing, and temporarily connect the disk-drive as a "slave" disk-drive in some desktop computer, to see if the disk itself is still functioning & its files can be read.
