I bent my flashdrive and now it won't read. I initially was able to wiggle it around and once it read, I could drag one file to the desk top. Now, I can't it to read at all. What shall I do?
Computers & Internet - Verbatim - VER95327 USB Hard Drive
I would check the pins in the end of the flash drive and see if any of them are bent back. If these metal pieces aren't in the right place then the flash drive won't be able to connect to your laptop. I would try bending them back into place with a small flat head screwdriver. If you don't want to fix it yourself then I suggest you either buy a new flash drive or take it to an electronics store for more help.
