Evening guys n gals, I hope you are able to help. I recently dropped my USB stick with loads of my uni work on, it wouldnt work when inserted in to my laptop and had a little rattle. Giving up hope I decided to take it apart and see if it was anything I could fix, nothing was loose and the rattle was still their but inside a cyclindrical transistor / resistor or something. I was hoping to be able to take this to my local Maplins to solder and replace it with a new one and hopefully fix it. Trouble is I lost it! Does anyone have any idea what it could have been? I have tried buying a new stick, exact make and model but cant find one anywhere new or second hand. The manufacturer has no support or tech centre. Having read a little about flash sticks I dont know if this is a capacitor or crytal resinator or what. it was quite large, 3 mils diameter and about 8 mills in lenght, tubular with metal casing attached by 2 wires to the PCB board. And obviously quite delicate inside coz this was the little bit which had the rattle. I will try to upload a picture of the stick and the position of this mystery bit soon. The make and model is SumVision SV-U89 Thanks in advance Des
