I use multiple external hard drives with my current laptop (3TB (3.5" USB External), 2TB(3.5" eSATA External), 1TB (2.5" 9.5mm tall USB Hub Cooling Pad), and 1TB (2.5" 12.5mm tall USB HDD Shell). the 1TB (was unpowered) in the shell fell out of my hand while shifting my laptop, cooling pad, external hdd, and power cord (laptop) to the kitchen table and the shell fell out of my hand and hit the tiled floor. The Hard Drive itself is just fine, however the board in the shell no longer registers when I connect the shell to my laptop. It will power up if an external power source is connected, yet the data lines in the usb cable do not iterate for some reason.

So my question is this: Given what I stated above about what happened, does the fact that the USB port on the shell maybe disconnected from the board in the shell?

Any thoughts, comments, and questions are welcome
