Hello, 

in that case if the drive is write protected there is nothing much you can do. you can contact sandisk support to receive a replacement in that case

here is the online rma link

hi deponia… thanks for the reply…but i guess replacement is out of the options already my flashdrive was bought in 2012 , and this is the first time i encounter such problem…  in other forums it one user told me that it maybe ran out of write-cycles , i guess that is big possibility and maybe my poor flashdrive will be in my museum as a hall of famer… lol…  if i cant fix it then its time for a new one… huhu

Well it doesn’t cost anything to try the RMA or to check the warantee page https://www.sandisk.com/about/legal/warranty/warranty-table.  Many models are 5 yrs and some are 10 yrs but your option as to what you want to do.

Good luck.
