Hello,

About 2 weeks ago, I accidentally put my encrypted USB drive (you have to enter a code on the drive itself) in the washing machine at 90°C, obviously...

After drying it in rice, I tried to see if it worked. It shows up on the PC, it appears normally, the PC detected it and it lights up. However, I can't open it to access the data.

Do you think it's dead? What can I do?

Thank you very much for your replies.

    Hello,

    At 90 degrees, the opposite would be surprising.
