[QUOTE="DaFlake, post: 1049817, member: 57419"] I found a thread that talked about the power supplies that come with it. Apparently they are not all that great and fail. It is possible that you are not getting enough power to the unit to spin up the hard drive yet enough to turn the light green. I would see if you can find another power supply with the same power output and see if it works. If it does, you need to get Maxtor/Seagate to replace it if it is still under warranty. [/QUOTE]
