New submission from Home Learning Live <booth1...@outlook.com>: If you have a physical error such as a broken connector, circuit board, NAND memory chip of the drive, then the hardware needs to be replaced or repaired. Doing-it-yourself can lead to even worse situations. Better you get help from the experts in this area. You can hire any trusted data recovery company like Stellar Data Recovery which is specialized in recovering data from a physically damaged USB drive.
Below we have mentioned solutions to some common causes of physical issues with your USB drive. a. Broken Stems and Connectors, & Dead Drives (no power to the USB): A common indication of the physical errors is some kind of error messages or troubles that you see after connecting the USB. Common error messages are “Please Insert Disk into Removable Disk” or “USB Device Not Recognized or Malfunctioned”, “you need to format the disk before using it”, RAW partition, dead or unresponsive drives, and damaged controller chips and/or circuit boards. If the silver USB connector is broken or the circuit board is damaged it leads to power supply cut-off to the USB. In such case, soldering and circuit repair is required. It’s not advised to do it yourself as if anything goes wrong, you may permanently lose access to your USB and also it’ll reduce the chances of getting your data successfully recovered or sometimes impossible. To deal with above physical errors, specialized equipment and expertise are required. So better you hand over it to some professional and let them deal with the scenario. b. Error: “Please Insert Disk into Removable Disk”: This error occurs when the flash drive controller software becomes corrupt. It can also happen if there are some issues with the NAND memory. The above error can be caused by low grade or generic NAND memory chips. With a frequent number of reads and writes, the state of the drive turns worse. The error indicates that there is some issue with the NAND memory chips. Most probably the metadata stored in the NAND memory is corrupted or wiped and it can’t be mounted then, thus turning the drive unreadable. Whenever you try to read the drive, you will get the error message “Please insert a disk into Removable Disk”. Also, if you try to check the drive size, it usually shows its capacity as 0 MB. As the device cannot be mounted on windows, if you check Device Manager under Disk drives, a different name for the USB drive will be listed. Also, the Disk Management shows a drive letter with No Media. In such case, you need to search for manufacturers that perform USB data recovery or flash drive data recovery. c. Undetectable USB Flash Drive: You may not be able to use your USB drive because of some problems with the USB port, not with the USB drive. So, before performing any repair of the USB drive also make sure that the USB port is working fine. To test the USB Port remove the USB drive, reboot your computer, and test the USB drive again. See if it works. It is possible that one port may not be working but all others are working fine. So try each port of your computer. If this doesn’t help, try the USB drive on some other computer. https://www.stellarinfo.com/blog/how-to-recover-files-from-a-corrupt-or-unresponsive-usb-flash-drive/ https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/dead-usb-port-heres-how-to-diagnose-and-fix-it/ https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/dead-usb-port-heres-how-to-diagnose-and-fix-it/ https://support.blinkforhome.com/issues-with-your-sync-module/troubleshooting-usb-drive https://gamstopbookmakers.com/horse-racing-not-on-gamstop/ https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/22251/find-your-missing-usb-drive-in-windows-7-vista/ ---------- messages: 409585 nosy: booth1664 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: flash drive type: compile error _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46243> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
