I've got a USB that was accidentally yanked out of the PC (it wasn't moving any files or such), and its case was broken.
I have the USB chip itself (usb drive, but no case) it seems perfectly fine from careful visual inspection except for a slighly bent insertion tip.

When I plug it into my PC, it appears but I can't open it. And windows (XP) says it is an unknown device

The Data inside is of utmost importace and is irreplacable!

Ideas? ohmy.gif

Oh man!

Is this a bad sign... I plugged my USB drive into my PC to try what infinity said, but my PC doesn't detect it now

To 2kool4u526:

Umm I can't see your pic but,
The drive (the USB's chip) looks utterly intact. Only the metal part which plugs into the PC is slighly bent. The pins and blah look alright.
