If it's new it's a warranty issue.
Old? Try another PC and USB cable
So basically i plugged my M3 portable into my mac at uni and the blue light came on for about 3 seconds. it then flashed 3 times and just stops doing anything.. the mac hasn't even detected it so I'm not sure whats happened.. if anyone has had this problems whats the best solution?
