Detached external hard drive connector

Question

Hello, The connector of my external hard drive (Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2.5") has come unsoldered (the connector stayed attached to the cable when I removed it). I would like to recover my data from the hard drive. Has anyone experienced this problem and could you tell me what to do? Thank you very much!

Hi, Go to a computer/electronics store (a real one), not Boulanger or Conforama or anything like that. They might be able to do something to re-solder it.

Hello @Papounet17000, thank you for the advice, I was hoping to do something without going through an IT specialist... Thank you very much for your time!

You need to disassemble it like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6eV3pEXKgo And buy an external enclosure or put it in a desktop PC as a secondary drive.

Through this image, we can see the connector which is indeed part of the case. It's an image of an old external hard drive, but the principle is the same.  Good evening to everyone and Merry Christmas . . . -- There’s no point in running; you must leave on time . . .
