External hard drive power adapter failure?

i've got an external hard drive (i think it's a maxtor) and the power adapter has failed on it, it was all working ok on it last night but i went to use it today and there's no life, i changed the fuse but nothing. there's no light on the adapter still.

the model is flypower SPP34 - 12.0/5.0 - 2000 i've been looking on the internet with no joy. does anyone know where i can get this adaptor in the uk? or i've heard that you can take the hdd out and put it in a new enclosure that has a power supply, how easy would this be to do?

any advice i'd be grateful for as i don't want to lose the photo's stored on there.External hard drive power adapter failure?I'd try to find a universal type of power converter. You need to match the plug on the enclosure(watch polarity),the voltage and current that the HDD enclosure requires. If push comes to shove, you can always pull the drive from the enclosure and install it in a desktop computer as a second drive! Good luck! ;-)=External hard drive power adapter failure?Any adapter that can give you 5volt + 12volt at 2amp will do the job although you need the right connector on the end. Bearing in mind how cheap drives are these days, it's probably best just to replace the whole thing. You can take out the old drive and temporarily connect it up inside your PC as a second drive.External hard drive power adapter failure?No idea how you were searching the net but there are plenty of those power supplies out there:
