If it's a hardware problem, you can try some of the usual things like putting the flash drive in the freezer or refrigerator to change the dimensions or electrical<br>
characteristics. However as a business, I would only suggest to the customer with the usual caveats such as: this may not work and could make it more difficult<br>
or even impossible to retrieve the data. I would not offer to do the freezing or refrigerating because of the caveat.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>

I've got a customer who has a flash drive that isn't obviously, physically, broken. I know there are several reputable repair places, but I can't seem to find any discussion of this in my mail.<br>
<br>
So, had good experiences with a place? If so, would you please post and give about what they charged? I had vague recollections of costs in the $100 range.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
David<br>
