I hope these forums are still active...they look either abandoned and ad-filled, or someone is mad at you 
anyways. My name is Joshua and I'm a PC Technician in Marietta, GA. I had a lady come into the store today with a flashdrive that was plugged into a laptop, and then the laptop took a fall. in the process, it slightly bent the flashdrive. The customer wouldn't specify what part of the drive was bent. I removed the drive from the plastic casing it was in and it appeared to be fine. I was hoping some of the solder points had been broken, but everything looks fine...
I told her it would be a longshot...but I felt so horrible I had to at least try. The drive was filled with pictures of her newborn baby. When I told her I was unsuccessful, she started crying! I am at home now and researching some possibilities...I was curious if you guys had any suggestions. I understand that flash memory is entirely different than a hard disk, but I figured you guys would be the people to ask. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
again, the board/chip didnt appear to be cracked or anything
the "head"? of the drive, the part you plug into the port, also appeared fine.
all the solder points appeared strong.
when you plug it in, the light stays on constantly
when you plug it in, it acts like it is working..but the drive never appears, and then says the drive has stopped working.
I have tried it in Linux, Windows and Mac.
thank you so much!
