From: Unknown on 1 Mar 2010 14:57 A couple of questions you haven't answered. Did you try the stick on another computer? Did you try the stick in another USB port? Check the pins for possible damage? Wiggle it (very gently) when trying to read it?

My daughter has tried it and I have tried it on a couple of computers. It is in A1 condition with no obvious damage. Tried other USB ports too but no change I am afraid. Thanks anyway.
