if you are willing to take risk…remove cover from flash drive and read controller number from,control chip directly.or use internet to find serial.then donwload firmware using controller number.

_     T _hanx for your response. Ahm… yup, seems the only way to get controller number is to dismantle drive. Just out of curiosity, did you see drlucky’s reply? Well, then, much as I doubt, I’ll TRY to get Sandisk to replace. Wish me luck  LOL LOL:confounded:
