USB Flash Drive Repair/Data Recovery

[_Cathy_]

I can't believe this. My USB got corrupted ata. It's dead, not even read by my laptop. I tried it using another laptop, wala talaga. My friend said could be like a wire or power or something that was damaged? I have all my accounting there so I am desperate to retrieve the files. What's funny is I was planning on backing it up when this happened. And yes, I am stupid for keeping my files on a USB lang.

that also happened to me. after some time of non-use, mine couldn't be read.
it would appear, flashdrives do have a lifetime?

Thanks, chatted with an FB marketplace guy. Looks like a hardware issue nga. It's not detected at all, dati kasi when I insert my USB flash drive umiilaw. I used different ports and even a different laptop na.

Try to press and hold the USB stick while reading ... or wiggle a little ...

From the sound of it, I don't think it's getting power. It may very well be just a cold solder on any of the power pins (Vcc or Gnd). If that's the case, it's a simple fix.

I would not try fumbling with it any further. Continued USB insertions/removals might really mess up the flash memory.

This is what my friend speculates also. Would you know where I can bring this? (Makati or BGC or even Grreenhills) The FB guys kasi want me to ship the USB but I have too many private files there.

Greenhills would be the place. Ask around... technicians there know each other and will point you to the guy who's been able to fix these things.
