Hello,
I have an EMTEC 8 GB USB drive that was connected to my hi-fi system and someone leaned on it with their back and twisted it. I tried to untwist it. I connect it to the computer and if I hold it in a certain way, it lights up but is not recognized in the computer (Windows 7). I have important data on it! Could you help me? Thank you (:
Configuration: Windows 7 / Safari 535.7

Hello,
Generally, in this situation, it’s the solder joints that fail between the printed circuit board and the connector.
If the printed circuit board is not broken, it can be easily repaired with a fine-tipped soldering iron and some delicacy (and a magnifying glass ;-) ).
Be careful with static electricity discharges, and make sure to ground the iron.

I don't know more than you, but I'm looking.

The dialogue with the PC (recognition of the key and access to files) is done through the two central pins.
