    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.
