Make sure the USB ports on both the camera and computer are not dusty or dirty. Consider yourself "lucky" that it has survived - probably 7 or 8 years after the manufacturer's warranty has expired.IMPORTANT: Before proceeding with the steps in this solution, check the following: If your automobile's tires were 9 years old, they would be "bald", and the sun-battered sidewalls would be dry & cracking - unsafe to use. You will be able to attach it as a secondary disk-drive in the new computer, and copy all your files. Keep the disk-drive, because it still will have your personal files on it. Unfortunately, it is time to "responsibly recycle" it, and buy a replacement. > This computer is 9 years old, but has run perfectly all these years with no problems, so I don't want to give up on it. Even more difficult will be finding a replacement motherboard. > changing the motherboard is probably really difficult? This supplies power to the motherboard and the CPU, and to the add-in card. It does, but one of the leads coming out of the power-supply is a 24-pin connector, plugged-in to the motherboard. > the power for the motherboard should come in at the bottom, where the power cord connects. Try again, with the "other" RAM by itself. Or, if there is more than one stick of RAM, remove one, and reboot. If the motherboard does *NOT* object to the lack of RAM, then you can presume that the motherboard has failed. Testing a motherboard is much more difficult. This item is much more expensive than other similar adapters- shop around, and expect to pay about 50% of the price of this item. It's a "given" that any computer shipped with Windows 10 has a disk-drive with a SATA interface:įor an adapter that connects a SATA disk-drive to a USB port. > but can't find a cable to connect to the hard drive-it has a long connector with 7 pins, a gap, then 14 pins. > I was going to hook hard drive to another pic to check it, It must provide several different voltage-levels on different leads.Ī partial failure, on one of those leads, could cause your symptoms. 
> am assuming it is motherboard or hard drive?Īgreed.
I'm guessing that the solution will be the same as those many others. My problem is the same as many others I have seen listed.
