maybe your pc disable USB, check out your USB port.

Disassemble the enclosure and try again and let see what is the effect. I think something wrong w/ the power cord. Try

kato ning enclosure with the laptop hard disk installed, right?

Ang usb cord ani niya, 2 ka USB ga sunod then ang tumoy is for the enclosure na?

Try to install/plugin the 2 USBs in 2 separate USB ports in the PC daw. . .
But, if it still won't work, the HD/Enclosure itself has the problem. . .
