| 737072 | 2009-01-11 23:49:00 | how to know if my usb is fried?. whats funny is that the light goes on after 5 min or so after its plugged in. This is either to do with the failing drive or a sign that the port isnt quite right, I would test with another USB device to rule out the later! |

If the data recovery/security is important, STOP playing with it & take it to a data recovery specialist.You may make things worse. If the data is important then forget about any warranty issues(new USB pendrives are pretty cheap) But I have seen USB devices blown by faulty front connectors thou. |

| 737075 | 2009-01-12 11:21:00 | Have a look down into the 4 connections on the drive and see if there is anything dirtying up the connectors, clean them with isopropyl and cotton bud. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 737076 | 2009-01-12 12:27:00 | This is a valid point as these ports are connected to the motherboard header via cable, and some cable jobs are not as good as others, especially if they end up shorting.... I usually use the back port hard soldered to the motherboard with an extension cable for easy access If you wire them up the wrong way you're screwed, especially if you send 5 volts down a data line ... you can't even trust the cases sometimes - I bought a cheap ColorsIT case from Elive and the front USB leads had been wired wrong in the factory. D+ from one port went to the same pin on the other port... and the other way around. Luckily though nothing bad happened apart from some weird error messages (understandably) but after I checked it and realised what happened I was able to change the wiring and fix the problem. Another thing which can occur is when there is far too long and/or bad quality wiring on the front panel connectors, causing loss of signal and general unreliability of anything plugged into them |
