I've got a hard-drive sitting an a Vantec Nexstar-3 external enclosure (NST-360SU), and when I turn the unit on (regardless of whether the PC its attached to is powered on or not), the unit simply blinks repeatedly.

Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this? Or (even better) a way that I can fix this?

I've actually got two of the units plugged into the same computer and this is only happening on one of them. It's been working pretty solid for about a week now and just started doing this...
 
Just incase anyone comes across this in search.. I've removed the drive from the enclosure and am still having issues with it. (So I'm eliminating the enclosure as the source of the problem.)

On a related note, for anyone encountering a similar issue, take a look at Get Data Back). This is the tool that I'm using to recover files. It worked on a different drive that I had accidentally formatted, rather perfectly. (I was quite impressed.)
