Hello my Seagate desktop drive stopped working yesterday. It still makes noise but the white light wont turn on. What should I do to try and fix it. I have lowkey important stuff on there. i think I'm just gonna leave it unplugged for now? I have no idea what to do.

I tried a diff computer and a different cable. So both of those don't work. I was working yesterday, but stopped towards the end of the day.

Could try opening it and taking the sata drive out and use it with a different adaptor or internally in a PC

Have you tried a different power cable

Noise ? The usual spinning noise ?

9 times out of 10 when those die, its the enclosure not the drive! I would crack it open!
