    Find that when you plug in your usb drive that windows/mac doesn't recognize it anymore?What i found out is don't throw it away yet,get a very thin screwdriver and put it in the usb drive connector socket and dig out that lint that's been gathering inside.Fixed another usb drive of mine that wasn't being recognized.
    I think,therefore i am a hamster.

    I also recommend toothpick with some cotton rolled up like a Q-TIP I would not use anything metallic or too hard, may short or ruin the metal contacts in the USB drive

    Too late for me, I threw away an 8G one about a month ago, but thanks for the tip.
