Hello

I've Kingston DT microDuo 3.0 - a 32GB USB flash drive

And it's dead now, I guess..

It was just plugged into PC and then Windows has lost it, like ejected it

OK, I re-plugged USB flash drive again 

and when I tried to write new files on it - windows told me, that USB flash is write protected .__.

There is no jumper on flash drive to enable it and I haven't touched settings at all

Next time I plugged it in Windows told me that "You need to format the disk before you can use it"

M...Ok.. Let's format it :|

But nope! I can't format it, because the disk is write protected...

I tried to format it using windows tools, removing write protection adding a new file into registry and removing write protection using cmd, but nothing worked to me.

I googled what to do I it is said that I need to flash this drive, but I just can't find the necessary files and programs to download...

 

USB flash drive's VID: 0951 PID:16a3

Idk, is there Phison or Toshiba inside...

That's all I know :\

 

 

Please, if it is possible, help me to make it usable again! ^^""

 

 

P.S. It is new, used for ~ 2 months

srry for my English :\
