My usb was inserted in my laptop and accidentally hit/bent the usb... when I insert it to laptop it reads it as removeable disk f instead of my usb name and when I open it I get a message that says please insert removeable disk. I am not able to see any files. What can I do to recover them?

Thanks for sharing. After recsoldering Have you tried using some hot glue stick to hold the usb down firm. and if ever needing repaired again you can remove the glue fairly easy with a small tool. P.S. the tempture 40-50c (104-122f)for glue melt is above anything the usb would see.The Glue guns low temps approximately 120 °C (248 °F)

This is fantastic. I never gave any thought to repairing a USB flash drive. You have given me something to think about since many clients come to me and I advice them to buy another one since they are somewhat inexpensive. Actually I forgot that the data stored may value alot. Thanks for the repair idea and I will advertise tomorrow that Fitzgerald Enterprises will be repairing USB drives. Thanks for your report.
Regards,
A. Fitzgerald

Dear Humberto,
USB-sticks (and other devices) are always problematic when used in a laptop. Nowadays the laptops become very thin and the cases are mostly build of (ABS) plastic and that is horrible. This results in a lot of failing USB-connectors on laptops, especially when USB-devices are permanently connected to the laptop. I have to repair at least one laptop with USB-connectorproblems every week. And it's a lot of work!
