[anandharaja]

hi
i have 2GB Transcend pen drive until yesterday it works very well, but suddenly today i plugged in, my pen drive not detected, after several attempts of plugging and unplugging, pen drive detected with format window.
i formatted pen drive but now its overheating unable to hold in hand. is normal behavior or pen drive burnt.

if you use a PD for long time constantly ( even a full format ) it will be heated and this is normal - try using the PD on a friend's pc and see whether it's working or not.
