Power Light comes on, no function what so ever
My external (Lacie 2TB porche design) was working fine about a week ago. Tried to use it today, the power light comes on but nothing else happens. No sounds, no clicking not even the normal hum you hear when it works properly. Tried connecting it to my laptop, tried all ports, but nothing at all happens as the hard drive does not seem to kick into operation. I have tried different plugs thinking it could be the power source, but the external just wont give any sign of kicking into life other than the power light. Please help.

Check to make sure that the FireWire or USB cables are
correctly attached and firmly seated in both the drive and
computer's FireWire or USB ports. Disconnect them, wait 30
seconds, and reconnect them. If the drive is still not
recognized, restart your computer and try again. If they are
correctly connected and your drive still does not power on,
trying using the optional power sharing cable, described in
section 2.3 Connecting the Optional Power Supply of the LaCie Mobile Hard Drive User Manual.
