Sigh. that was a good $8 down the drain.
Return it. Don't let people steal from you. Used a credit card? Report
it. Do a charge back. You have 60 days from the date the statement
containing the charge was mailed to you. If it's after 60 days, card
might have an extended warranty on everything, give that a shot.
It has been sitting in my "backed up" bin for over a year. I backed up
something to it and now it is dead.
Typically I back up something important with a double backup, like tax
records, so I doubt I really lost anything, but it is way past
warranty. Sigh.
It is from Microcomputer Center over in Troy MI. They have these bins
of USB sticks very low price. No packaging, just take a couple out of
the bin at check out. I got a Dec present from them in a free 128GB
stick and bought 4 16GB for $5 each while I was restocking my DVD blanks
(stack of 500 Verbatim DVDs). They are a good place to pick up stuff
after a run to Costco; just a couple miles up the road. :)
I have returned other stuff to them that were bad and they were very
good at returns.
Separate problem I have is keyboards. My acid sweat wears off the
letters. 'N' is worst, 'E', 'D', 'V', and 'O' are wearing too. I
bought this supposedly good HP keyboard about a year ago. I stopped
getting their Inland cheap boards, as those were wearing off in a few
months. I was more tired of going through the return process than they
seemed to be with the returns of 'defective' keyboards. I just want a
simple USB keyboard that is plugged into my KVM...
what ever became of solid IBM clicky keyboards? :)
