Flashdrive snapped
 
Hello,

I'm looking for a miracle here. The top of my my flashdrive snapped off in
my computer. I wonder if there is any way that I can recover the informaiton
on the flashdrive?

I am able to get the blue light from the flashdrive when I plug it in and
jiggle the two pieces together, however the computer doesn't seem to
recognize it (i.e. the flashdrive doesn't appear in My Computer).

Thanks,
Niall

Great idea. I'd be curious to know how they could retrieve the data. But the
place I called didn't seem surprised by my request, so I'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestion.

This happened to me a while back. I just stuck it back in and copied
the files to my HDD. I then turned off *ALL* the power and used a
pair of tweezers to remove the broken part from the usb slot.
