I think I just killed two of mine. One is a 256mb Cruzer Micro and the other is a 2gb Cruzer. I've had them sitting under my lcd moniter for weeks and I think that might be what killed them. They were working a few weeks ago when I last used them. That's where I always keep them if they're not in my pocket or else I loose them. I guess I'll leave them there now to remind myself not to put any new ones there.

 

i stepped on mine when it was still in the computer....that killed it

 

yup, put one in a Vista box....DEAD

 

I put one in a mac and it killed it.

 

No, but I just saved a load of money by switching my car insurance to....

 

Sorry, just had too...

 

Perfect!

 

I killed mine. It went to read only mode. No little switch on this one to switch between lock mode and off, so I can read what's on it, but can't do squat with it otherwise.

 

You could tie a string to it and use it to entertain the cat.

 

I've got this memory in my laptop that is always close to the screen... no problems yet.

 

I don't know if being under the monitor killed them. Just seems odd they both went at the same time. The small one is about 4 years old while the 2gb was just bought about 6 months ago.

 

That's strange that they both went out the same time. Correct me if I'm wrong but I remeber hearing somewhere that those USB memory sticks have a small battery inside of them. Maybe your battery went out on the older one. Can anyone confirm this, or is my memory failing? I would try to get the newer one warrantied since it's only 6 months old.
