1. The very first step in determining if your USB Drive is fixable is to check
if it is still detected in your PC. It will be easier to determine it with the
use of the latest
CHIPGENIUS. (Click here to download)
After downloading it, extract it to desktop and double-click the application.
CHIPGENIUS icon looks like this: (Be sure to run it as administrator if you
are running Win7.)
2. Plugin your defective USB Drive in order for the program to detect its
hardware information. (Be sure to plugin 1 USB drive 1 at a time so not to mix
up the corresponding tools to be used.)
CHIPGENIUS window will show all devices connected to your PC's USB ports. Be
sure to select the right USB drive from the list of devices.
3. Take note of the detailed information displayed by
CHIPGENIUS. The most
important details to list down are the:
a. Chip Vendor - lists the utility for the USB Drive.
b. Chip Part-Number - lists the CPU chip used in your USB Drive.
c. Flash ID Code - lists the Flash chip used in your USB Drive.
d. USB Device ID - consists of two IDS: VID - Vendor ID & PID - Product
ID.
4. Search for the Chip Part-Number from the corresponding Chip Vendor Download
Page and download the right tool. Sometimes there will be a number of tools
that will appear in a single search so you will have to do a trial-&-error
method, start from the first tool until you find the right one which will fix
your USB Drive.
GOOD LUCK!
