That's certainly what I'd do. It could even just be the USB
connector on the drive if it's been yanked about a bit by the
cable.

I'd also check "lsusb -v" in Linux to confirm it really doesn't
see the drive anymore. If it's not detected at all then something
like a broken USB connector or interface board is quite possible,
but the latter might be part of the drive's own circuit board
depending on the model.

Oh and of course try another USB cable too.
