USB-Stick wird gar nicht erkannt?

Hi,

mein Stiefvater hat mir gesagt, dass er gerne Zugriff auf Daten von einem USB-Stick hätte, den er das letzte Mal vor 1-2 Jahren benutzt hat. Die Daten sind sehr wichtig. Nun wird dieser aber nicht mehr unter Windows 10 und 11 erkannt. Partitioniert sollte er ja sein, da er ja Daten drauf gespeichert hat. Er wird ebenfalls nicht im Gerätemanager oder in der Datenträgerverwaltung angezeigt. Es handelt sich dabei um den im Bild gezeigten USB-Stick in der 64 GB Variante. Da der USB-Stick nicht mal mehr im Gerätemanager angezeigt wird, denke ich mal, dass er kaputt ist. Habt ihr dennoch Ideen, um vielleicht noch was zu retten?

Danke sehr

Windows 11. But have actually been testing it with Ubuntu and it is interesting that he always runs short. Then he crashes my PC, gets extremely warm and doesn’t go again.

What exactly happens on Linux is easy to observe. You just give

 dmesg -w

into a console. This shows what’s going on on on the D-Bus and -w means waiting for new entries instead of ending dmesg.

After the start of dmesg -w press Enter to create a gap, you better see where the new entries have appeared. Then put the stick in and see what happens.

The hot will indicate a short circuit. Then the thing loses the voltage (USB current is limited) and fails. Depending on the USB port, so how much power that allows it to happen immediately or a while later when the thing is really hot. The hot electronics become, the better the current can lead. So the overload of the port rises.

There are two reasons why a USB stick does that.

The “slowest” is when a memory cell is “broken” and makes the short circuit. You can’t fix that.

What can be repaired is a broken capacitor. There is at least one capacitor parallel to the power supply in order to keep the voltage stable. You can simply trigger it and the stick should work again if not so stable. This is enough to read out data. It’s a tiny stick, it’s hard to get to that capacitor.

What you can try is to connect the stick with an extension cable to the PC that works short (so here at the Ubuntu PC). If it goes short with the extension (strong juice despite extension), then you hover the stick into the freezer, plug in and try to copy all data as soon as possible. With luck, it will remain cold until all data are transferred.

You can also plug in directly and cool with cold spray But watch too much cold and fail because the silicon of the chips can no longer conduct enough power.

If this doesn’t help, you can just try to disassemble this thing. However, these winelings are usually shed and in disassembled they can hardly be joined. Here then feel (or thermal imaging camera) which part becomes hot, i.e. chip or condenser. It’s the capacitor that’s brazing.

So first when nothing happens once you insert it, and he doesn’t show up in the device manager, he’s broken. You can save all the suggestions here with linux and co. Even with linux you can’t save a broken stick. Probably a loose solder joint, common problem with these mini sticks. can give it to data recovery if the data is really important. It’s good money.

Soldering sites would also be my guess

If it is not displayed in the data carrier administration or the device manager and is sure that the USB port in which it is inserted is not broken, then the USB stick is broken and the data is probably irreversibly lost.

is often only a cold solder. Lost here is still long nix 😉 With enough money, you can save any stick.

They’ll die sometime. Important details are available at least three times.

Evtl still try on other devices, but assume that the USB stick has blessed the temporal.

It can also be that there are no data at all on the stick. Vllt is a bathroom UPS and you loaded something on your PC that doesn’t belong.

Vllt is a bathroom UB

and THE You conclude from the fact that the USB stick is not displayed!?? ♪

Vllt it is

It was not a conclusion, because a conclusion would mean that I was 100% right – which is not the case.

Insane answer

If he were empty, he’d be displayed as well.

And what your bath-USB should be is a mystery.

It is not found on the street, but a separate

Then you should go on and look beyond the edge of the plate. But as long as your soup tastes, there is no reason to look beyond the borders – or?

Did you read the question?

The father had data on the stick

He wants to access these data with new computer

What is this about BadStick?

Makes sense that the stepfather gives his stepson a bad usb stick by Verbatim… 🤦🏼 ♂️

WHAAAAAT!

  1. Just ask google what a conclusion is! ♪ I can’t do that ♪
  2. was also meant by the input question (obviously) that in the present case there can be 20, 30, 40 or more reasons why the USB stick is not recognized. And if you have all gone through, then of course a bathroom USB #rubberducky is one of these options, but with a probability of one to 100,000 and worse

Still, it’s stupid stuff. Whether such a stick is displayed or not is completely independent of whether data is stored on it or not. How are they supposed to do that if he is not recognized by the system?

How did your father format the USB stick and with what operating system?
