    Unless you have professional experience in repairing physically damaged flash drives, do not try to open it.
    • If the flash drive's internal storage is damaged, your only viable option is to take the drive into a professional repair service.
    • The prices for data recovery can vary from $20 - $850 based on the severity of damage to the drive, and the type of recovery required.
  2. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/2e\/Fix-a-Corrupted-Flash-Drive-Without-Formatting-Step-21.jpg\/v4-460px-Fix-a-Corrupted-Flash-Drive-Without-Formatting-Step-21.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/2e\/Fix-a-Corrupted-Flash-Drive-Without-Formatting-Step-21.jpg\/v4-728px-Fix-a-Corrupted-Flash-Drive-Without-Formatting-Step-21.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    It may not be able to connect because of an easily removed blockage. If you see something inside of the USB drive's mouth or the USB port on your computer, gently swab it out with a toothpick or a q-tip.
