    Usb stick

    Have had my 1gig pen drive for a while now but its also been broken for half the time, never got round to replacing it, im pretty sure its a manufacturing fault as the usb connection has come clean out of the rubber housing, look like 4 points of solder have broken.

    Any ideas as to what to do.

    Re: Usb stick

    How old is it ?

    Is it still under warranty ?

    Probably need to prove in some way its a manufacturing defect. Probably best to contact who you bought it from first and if no luck the actual manufacturer themselves.

    Like CrimsonAvenger just said:

    Please check with the vendor first - if he cannot help you out please use our RMA service on our website - we will be happy to help you out and replace it

    Currently, we do not offer RMA service in the UK. Items will need to shipped to Corsair in California, USA.

    Just so you know - Maplin in the UK fixed my usb flash drive so they might do the same for you!

    All EU electromics get a 12 month guarantee. if you got it from maplin under a year ago and its genuinely faulty (not due to user error or general wear and tear) then Maplin will repair it (or if its unrepairable, give you another / similar one / cheque) but you will have to wait ages to get it. Go to the store you got it from with your reciept and tell them you want to RTX it. Make sure you speak to the manager.

    In that case, I'll think twice before buying another Corsair pendrive
    Unless Corsair refund the shipping costs in full of course?

    That's exactly why I would hesitate to buy Corsair. Lovely products but if they don't support them over here they're no better than a Hong Kong eBayer.

    Solder them back on?

    What do you call "for a while"?

    TBH you're probably best off just buying a new one. Things move on so quickly in the world of USB sticks you'll probably find you can buy an 8Gb one for the same price you paid for your 1Gb.
