I would try several different USB slots if you haven't already. Unfortunately, if it doesn't light up, there's not much you can do, other than take it to a specialist. Sorry.

I would try reformatting it. Go to My Computer and rigt click on the thumb drive ( e: for example) and select format

open scandisk settings and disable that feature.
or else you can simply delete scandisk software and use your pen drive.

try googleing for the driver this may slove the problem

Make sure your computer has the software to use USB 2.0

1. Download this tool:

2. Format

(Before removing USB flash drive click on the Safely Remove
Hardware icon and then click on USB flash drive you want to remove)

look for a file or do a search for file that has a mdb extenstion
example: filename.mdb

You only need to use disk management !!
for Win_XP:
Right click 'My Computer'.
Choose 'Manage'
In the left pane, under 'Storage', Choose: 'Disk Management'.
When device is connected it will appear as: 'Disk xx - Removable'.
It should be not allocated (Black Line), so you only need to created a new partition and format it.
Good Luck !! :-)

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.
