    Default Dead Flash Drive?

    My flash drive was plugged into a malfunctioning usb port and now it is not being detected and does not blink when plugged in. It also gets hot if left plugged in. Is there a way to recover my files or am I screwed?

    Mostly screwd. Usually when a port bad or if it not connected right is incorrect voltage go to the thumb drive. Usually that fries it - so tough luck there. In future only plug into the front ports on known working stuff - otherwise only plug into the back.
    Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".
