I had mine for a year and then all the sudden it went write protected. I contacted the company and I filled out a RMA - don't know what good that will do me but maybe get money back I don't know what to get now, I don't want to get the same thing but because no one can say why or how this happens, I am hesitate to purchase another flash. Maybe get a CD

I tried using my PNY Optima Attache 2G for the first time, and a pop-up states that "The Media is Write Protected". I have not found a fix for this problem on the PNY website. Is there a fix for this, or have I just wasted my money? I tried using my PNY Optima Attache 2G for the first time, and a pop-up states that "The Media is Write Protected".

I have experienced to same problem -- just went write protected in the middle of a file transfer. Now, I can't use for the reason I brought it. A total waste of time and my money.

I used my PNY 2G memory stick successfully for about 1 month, then for no apparent reason it became write protected. I haven't been able to figure out how to un-write protect it, or re-format it. It is now useless. I used my PNY 2G memory stick successfully for about 1 month, then for no apparent reason it became write protected.

I've had the exact smae problem with the device, mysterious appearance of write protect that disables the use of the device. Cannot add or delete anything to it, cannot reformat or do anything with it. This is one of two that I own, the other one works perfectly fine, so far. have had bot about 3 months, did not try to download new driver or anything ike that. This just happened during a normal save file routine
