magnetized usb flash drive
Joel727
which was magnetic. How do I un-magnetize my usb flash drive?
Manuel
I think you ruined the flash drive. But why have you done this
"experiment"?
Anyway this can be a good topic to warn anyone to handle with care all
your drives and electronic gear.
Many problems told in the forums happen for carelessness.

A flash drives is RAM. Why would it be ruined?
John McGaw
had done so and if he actually did why would he want or need to demagnetize it.
BTW, the answer to the question is to use a degaussing coil and proper
technique.

Induced voltage during degaussing might erase or damage the
memory. Mebbe better to just leave it alone and use as-is.

So, do you think the drive can be used normally? I've made a search,
seems that there are discordant statements about this.
I've never done such "experiment"... so I don't know exactly how much
can be used of the drive after what he has done.
Anyway, why he should write here a message, if the drive works
normally after being magnetized...

... or why would one "magnetized usb flash drive with the
center of a metal candle holder" in t he first place?
Maybe he's just tired of it sticking to his keys when
pocketed, or maybe the whole post is fiction.

This action was an error on my part, forgetting that the center of
dish was magnetic.
The drive can not be seen by any of the 5 computers I tried it on,
this means not lights are on, in the usb jump drive.
If I could see the drive, I could copy the files on it or I would
just install a new driver.

I suspect it is only coincidence that it no longer works
after being near the magnet, unless by being magnetized it
now has picked up some stray metal particles in the
connector that are shorting it out.
