Could be a faulty USB cable that causes the issue?
Could also be the connector.

Do you hear any strange noises from the external HDD when it's turned on? Like clicking or screeching noises?
no strange noise. got led light and hdd is spinning. no strange noise. no screeching noise.
i'll try changing the cable
