Every time I turn on my olympus 770 SW, WRITE PROTECT comes up

you can format the internal card, see Manual
Olympus Stylus 770 SW Instruction Manual

Search for internal Memory

Press cursor-right (marked with a lightning bolt) then select "Flash off."

Use a card reader instead of your camera. When the icon appears on the screen, double-click on it and select the ones you want to transfer. Transfer them to a folder you create on your desktop and from there, you can do anything you want with them.

Page 56 of this manual explains what to do.

Lower the ISO sensitivity to around 200 or 400.
That's like film speed... the lower the ISO the less sensitive it is to light.
[Menu]
[Sensitivity]
(down arrow) to 200 or 400...

What is is set on? 3200??

Blown USB ports can happen. Most of the time, they still move power...like you can still charge devices through them, but the device won't be recognized. See if a hub will work.

i am not sure if you can do this. I just press the middle ok button to get rid of the information.

try to right click on the drive and format it.
its likely corrupt so the error is incorrect.
if you have a usb memory reader that may be required.

Folk here only suggest ways for you to fix it.
you start by getting a very small phillips screwdriver
or a tech .
