My USB flash drive got into the water, is it still useful?

The USB flash drive can still be used after soaking in water. If you find that there is water on the USB flash drive, do not immediately plug it into the power supply of the computer or other equipment. Otherwise, the USB flash drive may be scrapped due to the short circuit of some components.

Clean the dust inside the USB flash drive. Especially if you fall into sewage, you need to rinse it with clean water (of course, it is best to use anhydrous alcohol). If you have to wait for the USB flash drive to dry before you can use it, you can't use it if you have water.

When the U disk is flooded, if the shell can be removed, then you can remove the shell. After the water is clean, you can use a hair dryer to blow it. Then place in a cool place to dry.

Generally speaking, the USB flash drive will not be damaged after water ingress. First, although the USB flash drive is not sealed, it may not be completely soaked when exposed to water for a short time; Second, even if fully immersed, the device and PCB will not be damaged at that time. Solution:

First, don't use it rashly if it's soaked inside.

Be sure to blow dry, as long as it's not electrically applied, it's okay to use it when you're sure it's completely dry.

Look at when you bought the USB flash drive to know that it is not in the warranty period.

Generally, others can see that it is in the water, or it is called professional. So it is recommended that you try whether the machine can be used first, and if it can be used, of course, there is nothing to say.

If you can't, you'd better take it to the store and ask, and if you meet a kind staff, you should be able to repair it.

Good luck

There's a lot of water in your USB drive.

If it's all water.

You blew it with a hair dryer, and it didn't work.

Then the board must be broken, and there is no way to fix it. If you have money, you can buy a USB flash drive, which is no way to do it.

Your USB flash drive is artificial, and if someone detects it, it's not okay, if that person doesn't notice it, it's okay.

If it's not too long, and you blow it with a hair dryer, it's no problem, it's man-made damage, it's not covered by the warranty.

It is not enough to just blow the wind,,, it is best to keep it in a cool and ventilated place for a few days. Then take it to the computer and try it out. Maybe saved.

If it is not easy to use, the circuit is broken, and it seems that it cannot be repaired.

Can you still use a USB flash drive plugged into the computer?

U disk is by the chip at the interface to store things, generally fine, mine is IBM, wet water several times, it's fine, if it's broken, go to the place where the computer hardware is sold to see if it can be repaired.

U disk warranty has one year, there are three months, and yours will not be over, just take it and change it

You just say that it's broken for no reason, don't talk about it, it's hurt by people, and others won't change it for you

It may be useless, so it's better to buy it.

After drying, the sealed integrated U disk is not afraid of water, the structure is the circuit board plus the shell of the U disk may enter the water, to dry more to ensure that the inside is dried and then power test.

Pro-3 Hello! Please wait for about three minutes, I am doing my best to find an answer for you, please wait for about three minutes.

Pro-3 Hello! First of all, thank you for knowing that the tray can still be used even if it is flooded, but it needs to be operated correctly. When you find that the USB flash drive is flooded, do not immediately plug it into the computer and other equipment to power on.

Otherwise, the USB flash drive may be scrapped due to short circuit and burn some components. 2.Extended Resources:

The USB flash drive itself is not electrified, and the water is all dried after washing, which does not have much impact. Disassemble the USB flash drive to remove dust. If the USB flash drive is not treated in time after being thrown into the sewage, it has been dried naturally.

It is recommended to disassemble the USB flash drive before using it to avoid short circuit or rust damage to the components after the power is on. Leave the USB stick to dry naturally. Place the USB flash drive in a ventilated place, do not expose it to the sun, and wait for it to dry automatically.

It is emphasized that during the drying process, do not use equipment such as hair dryers to dry quickly. Because although the hot air drying speed is fast, the moisture cannot be volatilized synchronously, resulting in the internal force of the USB flash drive, which may damage the USB flash drive.

Because first, although the USB flash drive is not sealed, it may not completely soak the inside if it comes into contact with water for a short time; Second, even if it is completely wet, the device and PCB will not be damaged at that time.

When the U disk is flooded, the treatment methods and precautions are as follows, to ensure that the U disk is thoroughly dry, and there is no moisture after the completion of the check. Secondly, if the pin is a laundry detergent or other liquid that may corrode the electronic device, soak it in anhydrous alcohol and then dry it before use.

Do not use the method of exposure to the sun or hair dryer drying, which will bring two harms, one is that it may cause the deformation of the U disk shell; Second, it has a negative impact on the circuit part.

Whether the USB flash drive can be used after water entry depends on whether the USB flash drive is a waterproof material, and it also depends on the length of the water ingress time. If the USB flash drive is made of waterproof material, it can be used. For the USB flash drive that is not waterproof, it can still be used after proper treatment if it is only slightly waterproof, but it is not 100% certain.

For waterproof U disk and slightly waterproof U disk after water ingress, pay attention to the water on the surface of the U disk after the water is in, first wipe the water on the surface of the U disk dry, and after wiping dry, it cannot be directly connected to the computer for use, and place it in a dry and ventilated place to dry for a few days to ensure that the U disk is completely dry before use.

Do not use the method of exposure to the sun or hair dryer drying, one may cause the deformation of the U disk housing, and the other is to have a negative impact on the circuit part.

If it is a waterproof packaged USB flash drive, it will not affect the use of ordinary water, and it can be wiped or blown dry.

If it is an ordinary USB flash drive and is not waterproof, it is recommended to dry it first after entering the water and then export the data, if there is important data inside, it is recommended to back up, because the internal components of the USB flash drive that have been immersed in water may be corroded, and problems may occur at any time.

The U disk can also be used if it is flooded, because the U disk itself is not electrified, and it can be dried as long as the water in the U disk is dried, or it can be dried with a fan and a small breeze.

The USB flash drive can still be used if it is flooded, but it needs to be operated correctly.

When you find that the USB flash drive is flooded, do not immediately plug it into the computer and other equipment to power on. Otherwise, the USB flash drive may be scrapped due to short circuit and burn some components. The USB flash drive itself is not electrified, and the water is all dried after washing, which does not have much impact.

It's hard to say, you can only use a hair dryer to dry it and try it before you know if it can be used.

Yes. If the USB flash drive is flooded, it is first necessary to immediately cut off the power and stop using it to avoid further damage. You can then follow these steps to try to rescue the data:

1.Take out the USB flash drive and wipe it dry. 2.

Put the USB flash drive into an airtight container and put some desiccant such as raw rice, silica gel bags, etc., so that they can absorb moisture. 3.Keep the USB flash drive inside an airtight container for at least 24 hours to ensure it is fully dry.

4.Try plugging a USB flash drive into your computer to see if you can read the data. If all the above steps fail, then the USB flash drive may have been corrupted and the data inside will be difficult to recover.

In this case, it is best to hand over the corrupted USB flash drive to a professional data recovery company to deal with.
