I just recently flew AA from Mobile to Charlotte on an ERJ145. I carried on my Vanguard Alta Rise 48 with no issues at all. I was worried that I may have to check it due to it's size. After round-trip on six separate flights, I was not asked once to check it.
Hope that helps!
Did you have it sitting on the desk for 4 years with:
1) The power attached?
2) Data cable attached?
If neither of the above apply, the only possible thing that comes to mind is the case that encloses the hard drive some how corroded to the point that the connections do not work. Drives at rest without any external exposure (magnets, electricity, etc...) usually don't fail like that.

14 advantages
In my infinite multi-tasking at work, I didn't follow the post and just assumed it was T7i over the 77d. Thanks for the follow up.

so what is the advantage of purchasing a T7i?
I guess it's up to the buyer if the LCD top screen is important to them or not. If it's not, like mentioned above, you get the same camera (less LCD top screen) for less money. This was the deciding factor for me.
I did turn off guided mode and use the back panel (with the Q button) to make any setting changes pretty quickly. I shoot full manual, and the back panel is intuitive enough.
*Edit: After checking updated pricing...I guess the bodies are the same price now at B&H. So it comes down to the top LCD panel only
Hey Philip,
New here, but the T7i is a great camera for the money. I bought mine with 2 kit lenses, which are adequate for learning (in my case). I did purchase the EF-S 24mm f/2.8, which I use probably 90% of the time. The prime lens really stoked my fire and is a great lens.
The wifi works as advertised with the companion app, but make sure you have extra batteries as there is a noticeable difference when it's on.
The only issue, if you call it one, that I have with the T7i is the low light capability. As I'm learning and finding my comfort areas, low light photography is one of my favorite styles. It really struggles in darker settings with excessive noise. But I find that more of a challenge I want to overcome than a drawback.
