I just realized that my USB drive is maybe 10 years old, how did i realized this? It now doesn't show up on My Computer and now my head starting to spin. The USB I have is a 1GB, Titanium Cruzer which I thought and kept telling myself that it's indestructible but I didn't think it was going to self destruct, oh man. I have a few folders that were important and I KNOW i know, I told myself, Titanium, it won't destruct my files! This is my first experience with data lost.
The light is on the USB constantly flashing blue when I plug it in, but cannot see it on My Computer. I'm thinking it might be dirty, for some reason, there is grease on the drive which I assume that the oils from opening and closing it, somehow leaked out and maybe leaked into the usb connector, but I don't want to take a chance to clean it myself and cause any further damage. Can anyone recommend me to a place to take it to that would have the knowledge to recover data from my usb drive? I'm located in Los Angeles, CA. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
