I received a USB drive for Christmas but whenever I plug it into my PC the drive says that there is no storage on the device. I read somewhere that changing the letter of the drive in windows disk manager should fix the problem so i changed from what was originally F to L but it hasn't helped. I have the same issue on my laptop which is running windows 7 and my PC which is running windows 10 Pro.

If anyone has any information that could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Or fake. Sadly for "presents" we don't know where on earth it came from. I heard some in a store the other day asking for "the cheapest", for what I assume was a present. They could not spare the $/£3 for a more expensive model... well, they could, but they did not want to. XD

If NAND flash is not faulty, you can try to reflash the controller to bring it back to life.

I still would keep a backup though of everything on the drive even if u get it working as it may fail again!!!
