Is the device itself or the data on the memory stick important?

If data doesn't interest you with the Kingston DataTraveler 3.0 then it's best to buy new media with a warranty.

>>21385308 I don't know how the program works, could you explain to me how it works?

If there is no data then you can try the repair by uploading the softwares from #4 - 2251-19 PS2319 FIRMWARE TOOL

.

>>21385554
Sorry, but I can't understand you, I'm new to doing this.
How do I try to repair by loading the software from #4?

>>21385037 Maybe you had some Linux on the flash drive, it's a different file system. Try doing a format from the command line, that should help. I don't give a description because there is really a lot of it. Good luck.

>>21386215 Yes, I was trying to install Android TV on my pendrive, but an error occurred and when I tried to format the pendrive it already appeared with write protection.
Yes, I also tried it in cmd (administrator) with diskpart, but I get this error (DiskPart has encountered an error: The request cannot be made due to an I/O device error. Check the system event log for more information) but I already checked the sectors of the pendrive and it says that it is fine.

>>21386717 Try again like this:
1. in the Command Prompt window, type diskpart and press Enter.
2. then type list disk and press enter. You will see a list of media connected to your computer.
3. type and confirm the command select disk 2 (or another one appropriate for you, such as select disk 3).
We can now type the list partition command to find out what partitions are really created on this media.
4) Now type and confirm the clean command, which will delete all structures from the media.
(5) The next command is create primary partition, which will create one primary partition on the drive.
6) Now enter the active command to activate the media, and then format the media by typing: format fs=ntfs label="My_Pendrive" quick.

>>21386903 Yes, I tried to do that but I got the error that I mentioned in the previous message.

You can try updating the software for the controller, as this is most likely the problem. Download the file given in #4 STTOOL_V381_12_SZ_20210618_MOD.7z unzip it and try, maybe the controller will be recognised and you will be able to save your hardware.

>>21387106 So you can't list any disks? After list disk you can't even see the local one? And try it on another computer.

I see it poorly. Repairs unrealistic.

>>21387227 >>21387227 I tried but I don't know how to use it very well, when I try to flash it I get (err s0.0x1212) I don't know if it's because I need to configure it well.

>>21387424 If it lets me select the disk, I get the error I mentioned.

Nothing, because on the basis of the information obtained we further select the soft for repair (in this case only STTOOL) ).

>>21389089 So I just put my information in getinfo and then I go into stool and press start? And another question, do you know why I get that error in red?

That is, I just enter the information in getinfo,

You don't enter anything there.

I don't know what this error means. Maybe someone else knows the answer?

>>21391209 Yes, I hope someone knows why that annoying error appears.

Try doing a command line format, this should help.

- will not help. Read what the symptom is.

Generally, I don't believe this pendrive can be repaired, and even if it does, I expect it to fail again quickly.

Still have a peek at the video, did you do it similarly?
