So I have a Sandisk 8GB Cruzer Micro.
its over a year old now, so i think the warranty is over...

usually when i plug it in, the orange light goes on and windows makes a sound whenever you plug any USB device in..

now the light goes on for 1sec and goes out, windows still makes the sound but nothing.. I looked in the device manager to see if its there, nothing..

I read around online that the HP Key Boot Utility was suppose to fix it by doing a low level format on the USB drive... i got a hold of it but it doesnt detect it..

Anyone know how to fix this? I would like to avoid having to rebuy another flash drive if i can fix this..

Thanx
