Hi,

The reference you make to a memory stick is wrong and may lead you to the wrong answers. The 12GB StorenGo is anything but a memory stick.

In fact it is a 1.3" hard drive in a protective case. If you ask for, recieve and follow advice designed for memory sticks you may verywell further damage the device.

Please treat this as you would a PC harddrive however small it may be. If the device came apart but did not short there is a chance it can be re-assembled. If there were any shorts or lost parts it will likely need to go into a lab.

Please reply with more detail regarding it falling apart so I can help you assess the situation better.

Maybe you 3.5 Inch floppy disk (s) are too old and corroded Maybe your computer is too new. They're old anyway, try and get a CD+RW for you storage. Or a removable HDD.
Sorry.

Ok,

So it wasn't obvious damage then lets do the next step, Right-Click on My Computer, then select Manage, when the MMC opens select Device Manager on the left side, Open USB Devices and look for USB mass Storage controller. If it is not there then it's likely the controller board in the Verbatim shell is dead.

If that is the case, your best bet will be to drop by a local computer store and purchase an empty HDD enclosure to move the drive into.

If it does show up as a USB mass storage controller but not as a drive the problem is more likely in the circuitry of the HDD itself and you may require the assistance of a data recovery pro.

Hello,

How are you? Hope well. I Rajan Solanki am here to assist you.
I just have some questions to ask before we get started.
Does the other USB devices work on that port of your machine?
Or have you tried to use that USB Verbatim flash drive on another USB port?
Have you installed any newly softwares?

Once i get your reply i will be delighted to respond to you as soon as possible.

Thanks

use linux mint 21.3 Cinnamon Edition. I see in the software manager under licence, where it say changing is not allowed. what is the meaning of it? Please tell me. (Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.)

i dropped the 98122 mouse and the parts and board fell out. the left button is not working now- the mouse wont completely close and does not scroll. is there a way we can dismantle it to check if any parts are missing???

The device is USB powered and the first test is to see if it opens on another computer and if not, another cable. If it does not work, the next thing to know is the probability of being able to get the unit operating again is very slim. Those devices use SMT components and they require very specialized service and diagnostic equipment. That is the reason that these drives come with back up software. You need to back up the back up. There is a slight chance that you may be able to remove the drive from the housing and plug it into a computer directly, of use a universal cable to activate it. Keep in mind that the drive has a lifespan.

You only get to make four or five code changes and, for copyright reasons, thats it. You can download Anydvd from Slysoft.com and it will nest in your desk top, and remove all dvd codes as you load. The dvds then run "Region Free" They will copy with Dvd shrink and so your back ups are region free as well.

Yes, just plug two of the drives into your computer at once, and you can then drag all the files and folders from the older (source) drive to the new (destination) one in File Explorer. You may want to set up separate folders for each of the source drives, this will avoid conflicts if you have files and folders of the same name on the different external portables. If you want to automate the process, look for the shareware "Unstoppable Copier" which makes it easier to do mass copies.

It's probably faulty. I've seen several pen drives fail like this. You can try recovery software like Get Data Back or Recuva but depending on the problem, it will not work (if its a hardware problem). Try to see if the flash shows up in "Disk Management". If it does and it shows 32GB, you may have a chance of recovery.

Assuming it’s powered on, do you hear the “usb” sound when you connect it to the computer? If not, try a different usb port, or a different cable. If you hear the sound, check for the disk in “computer management”. It may need partitioned or formatted.
