Question by Cedric: How can I recover an external drive that has had Coke spilled on it?
I knocked over 1/4 can of coke and some of the liquid landed on my external hard drive (Maxtor 1TB Basics Desktop). I have removed the case and cannot see any liquid, except on the plastic casing (not the drive itself), but my computer is not recognizing the device when connected. What can I do to try and recover it?

You may have shorted out the electrical parts on the case itself. At his point I would get a proper connector (IDE or SATA) and attach the drive to your computer that way.
This is what I use to connect a drive to another computer: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156102
Hope this helps.
