USB 3.0 flash drive detected then disappears

Hello,

I recently acquired an Emtec 16GB USB 3.0 flash drive. During the first connection to the computer (Asus N55SF), I didn't notice anything unusual, but since then, I can't connect it to any computer: It powers on, appears in the computer's devices, then after a few seconds, it disappears and shuts down (the indicator light on the drive goes off). It's impossible to access it or even right-click to open properties.
I've tried it on other computers, and the problem remains the same whether it's USB 2 or USB 3. I would appreciate any advice on how to resolve this issue, especially since the drive is new and has never been used.
Thank you

P.S.: It does not appear in the Device Manager either.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 15.0.1

    Hi, maybe you didn't "eject" the key when you removed it the first times. There are certain keys that can't handle that and require such an operation. Finally, there are keys where it has no effect and keys that cannot support that.
