Sounds like a data corruption program, once you unlock the passport you can use a data recovery program like recuva or test disk to scan the passport. Check the links below.

Do the following thinks:

  1. change the USB cable

  2. test to other computer.

  3. If it has power cable, examine with the same voltage of other Power Cable

Thanks
