These things die after a while. It is possible, though, that the USB connector got loose from the circuit board that holds the memory chip if it is of similar construction to one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820191449&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-USB+Flash+Drives-_-N82E16820191449&gclid=CPe199G6y7UCFYpDMgodqy4AmA

If it seems lice the USB connector part is loose or if the drive took a hit while plugged in, that could be the problem.

I have had success with dis-assembling and soldering. Can you solder? or do you know somebody who does?

Does your camera still recognize the drive? You might be able to plug the camera into the computer.....

Have you tried all the USB ports both front and back on your computer? Maybe it's the port.
