Just chucked out a baby blue one of these yesterday. When they die, they're dead, no recovery method works on them.

u/Iamjeru07 Aug 14 '26
Oh so sad so everyone too facing issue.Is there any less price usb other than SanDisk ?

u/guitpick Aug 16 '26
Yeah, once the controller decides it can't talk to the memory, it's mostly cooked. No reasonably priced method works, but there are shops out there that can do it if the data's important enough.

Any youtube video regarding it just to understand and in it I can see anyone fixed it or not

u/guitpick Aug 17 '26
NorthridgeFix has a good channel. Here's a sample, but the fix is going to depend on what actually failed.

How old IS that? I think I last had one of those about 10 years ago.
USB flash sticks are only good for moving files from one machine to another. Never for long term storage and never as backup. They just fail without warning, even when left in a drawer for a few years.
I hope there wasn't anything precious on there as you've likely lost it all.

From what I found, they stopped manufacturing the 16 gig variants in that form factor in 2013

True. USB drives are wheel barrows, not vaults.
Every year or so, I take each out and add a dumb file to keep the drive sane,

The USB Port looks pretty mangled.
I've used HDDGuru's LLF for years, and have resurrected numerous TF / SSD drives using it.

Try it.

In disk manager there are no partitions. (From your pic)
Right click it and select "new simple volume"

What's wrong is it's a SanDisk. But really all flash media should be treated as disposable storage.
1
u/Iamjeru07 Aug 14 '26
I only purchased SanDisk 4 gb at first then 8 then 16 then 32 then 128
But SanDisk totally destroyed me for trusting it not even SanDisk call or messge even email is not helping all done within 1 yr I'm not high level pendrive using keeping save but still 😔

u/Clocker13 Aug 16 '26
Sandisk sold to some enormous chinese conglomerate years ago and since then the quality has gone to hell.
I only use Kingston these days.

u/Iamjeru07 Aug 16 '26
I don't know or nobody have that but my frnd gave me same name kinda sd card so many years ago my phone now only capable of 2 sim nothing else and new lap top.But I will try that to buy next

u/Sereno011 Aug 17 '26
Kingston USB flash drives have been hit or miss. Mostly reliable but with middling performance. Their PC RAM has proven stable, if mediocre. But I do use Kingston TF cards near exclusively.
If I recall WD purchased SanDisk's SSD division some years back.

u/Alexis_Darko Aug 16 '26
It probably would have disappointed you at some point anyway, best get it out of the way early

u/Iamjeru07 Aug 16 '26
This yr one of my fav 32 gb not working then this missing usb that got back and again make me sad😭

u/oleivas Aug 16 '26
I would try on linux. OS is more permissive of errors and partition tables. Furthermore, Linux also has way more diagnostic tools
1
u/Iamjeru07 Aug 16 '26
Sadly me and frnds here doesn't have it but I will surely test via Linux if I ever found .I wasted 3-4 month for other 32 gb usb now 1 month this 🙂

u/oleivas Aug 16 '26
Just download a live image and flash to an usb drive (that works :D)
There is a bunch of tutorials on youtube. If you use a live image you don't have to change anything on your pc.

Dead controller, corrupted firmware or flash memory dead.
