My SanDisk 2GB Cruzer Micro USB Flash Drive completely stopped working today. i always eject it in the "safe" way... by clicking EJECT..today it just STOPPED working for no reason... the PC doesnt detect it at all, the mouse doesnt show any activity when i insert it, and the LED on it doesnt light up.... any solutions ?
I wanted to pull up a document from my SanDisk 2 GB Micro Cruzer and the drive would not read (light flashed, went out, on every computer I tried it) . I took the flash drive to our tech person and she couldn't get anything to happen either. For a month I was simply resigned to the fact that I'd lost three years of documents for my job (teaching). The solution: I took the casing off, and plugged the bare usb/circuit board into the port, it worked long enough to pull all those documents off. Just to see if that fixed the flash drive, I put it back together, and tried it again-no go. Moral of my story: back up your work, and don't place so much trust a $19.99 drive for single copies of important documents.
Had same problem.
I wiggled back and forth the part that goes into the USB port and the drive was recognized and I could copy my files onto my hard drive.
I had this problem with a different make USB flash drive and used the same procedure to get the files back.
I think that some connection inside the flash drive works loose after a while.
I am not going to trust these drives for files storage, but only to transfer files.
My ScanDisk cruser micro 2GB stop woking. The orange light won't turn on and no respond. I do have very important documentations in this ScanDisk. I don't need onther ScanDisk. Is this situation, did I lose all my documentaions, or it is fixble? Please someone answer my questions.
I looked up SanDisk and sent them an email. They sent me a return label RMA and once they received my broken San Cruzer 1 GB flash drive they sent me a replacement.
Have you tried plugging it in to another USB port and / or into another computer? See if that works. Also, how long have you had it? If you've had it under Two years, you can send it back on warranty. Go to http://www.sandisk.com/retail/support.as... and locate your item and follow the instructions there. I hope this helps! By the way, I have the same flash drive as well and I like mine.

i liked it too till it stopped working ;)... and yeah tried 4 different PCs... on all ports... i'll see what i'll do... maybe i will send it to sandisk... i've had it for 3.5 months ;) it came as a present on my birthday on april...
I was very happy with mine too until it just stopped working. My light still goes on and "my computer" shows it there but it won't open it and freezes up my computer until I remove it. So, what's the point in having a back up flash drive if it's not dependable. Might as well go back to CD's!
I, too, always remove my hardware safely--I have a sandisk flashdrive that was working just fine yesterday and today it quit working completely. I also tried 4 other computer USB ports to see if it was this computer and none of the other computers can read it either. It has my entire laptop on it--what do I do?
Also has a SanDisk 2.0GB micro cruzer and it worked great for 5 months then crashed while in the middle of my research for a paper being written as part of my master thesis. Had my new Sony Vaio crash and felt lucky that most of my data was on the cruzer then had the cruzer crash 3 weeks after getting the Vaio back. I had been blessed by great technology luck but I guess not so anymore! Is there anyway to regain the data from the cruzer?

Sandisk has stopped working for no reason all my files on it have got new sandisk but dont no how to recover files
Yes, it did work prior on my old emac with Panther macosx v10.3.9 and on a new imac.
Sometimes it would eject fine and other times after I ejected it and
after the icon disappeared, - It would bring up an error message that
it was ejected wrong and might have problems.
That is what it said yesterday and when I tried to use it again - The only icon that shows up is the u3 system.
I have tried on 4 different computers and it will not light up or be recognized.
