So today my USB Flash drive seems to be non-responsive. Normally I plug it in, it seems to draw power from the system, flashes a flashy light that shows it's reading, and I can hear a very very faint power draw.

(I have super sensitive ears and can hear things 'normal' peeps can't, like the screech in floresent lights and stuffs )

Today, pop it into 4 different systems, all the same thing. Nothin'. No light. No power draw. Most don't even register anything happened. One said 'unrecognized USB device' and that was it. Seems like it's just a hunk of deaded electronics now.

Does anyone know of a way to like check if it's dead? Like are there any USB Flash diagnostic tools around that might try to like jumpstart it or something? I don't see any at the Corsair site.

It's probably dead and I've likely lost my world (I can copy the changes off teh Internets and did run a backup on the 5th, so it's not that far behind.)

Just wondering if anyone may know of a something that could maybe CPR it back to life.

Odd. Today it seems to do the lights, see the files, but I can't actually access them. The drive either locks up or it locks up the program I'm trying to open a file with.

Seems to be working again. I guess it somehow got progessively better.

Guess I'll just keep it in a protected pen thing which I only open like once or twice a day instead of on my keychain from now on. I'll also take this as a sign to run a weekly backup on the drive... just in case.
