Hi All, I had the same issue with my ScanDisk 2Gb driver, been using it for years but it suddenly stopped working and is no longer detected in the ‘devices manager’. Had a lot of data on it too, I tried it on 2 different computers but is no longer detected.

HELP

Sorry to break this to you but looks like you got a dead stick. Try plugging this in on at least 4 desktops/laptops.

Hi guys, I posted this before. This video shows clearly what needs to be done. On these Sandisks connector pins starts to develop cracks in the soldering and lose ability to initialize because of that. Reattaching the connector by individual wires/ resoldering is the solution to your problems. Watch the video it shows it all:

just don’t forget to leave me some kudos for helpful tip :wink:
