I come back to my room tonight to find a puddle under my external hard drive. My roommate denies having spilled anything on my desk but I know there is no other way for that amount of liquid to be on my desk. I plugged it in, the light lit up but there was nothing happening on my computer. I tried it again and it said the USB device was drawing too much power and shut down the USB port. Now the light just lights up when I plug it in. Liquid is coming out of the seems so it is clearly the culprit.
What can I do about this? Should I let it dry out then try it again? Should I sent it to a data recovery place? It has information on it and thousands of photos I just took off of my computer and very much need.
