hi, i have some problems with my external hard disk

I broke the port on my external hard drive. It isn't visibly damaged, but when I plug the USB cable in, the port feels wiggly, like it's not connected to what it should be connected to. Nothing happens when I plug it into my computer. How can I fix this or recover the data?

The items in my external hdd are important, is there any way i can recover it?

My external hard disk is Samsung Portable S2

Please give me suggestion or advice on how can i fix this problem.

Thanks in advance

I do not know about this, some may have a good soldering skills to help you with, you may try to state your situation and see if any can help you with it.

p/s: Make a call first is a good start, won't waste your petrol asking for nothing. sweat.gif

15" light design only exist in Acer laptop :

Acer V7-582PG-74508G52k, i7-4500U + Nvidia GT750M + 24GB mSATA + 500GB HDD + (1920x1080 IPS; touch)@RM3399[2.2kg], 8GB, W8

this one is best to fit you, full HD IPS screen for your better movie experience, and only 2.2kg for a 15" laptop. not to mention, specs are pretty decent as well.

hi there,
thanks for reply.
I already took my external hard disk to the local computer shop. They inspected the external hard disk and found out the port connection the hdd is broken. Besides that, my external hard disk is on-board type so it seems unable to recover the data.

Does my external hdd still have chances to be saved?
