Hey guys. Something strange happened today. I have a 32GB USB Pen drive that malfunctioned on my PC a while back. I didnt "properly eject" it... >_> So anyways...I was freaking out because I had school work on it that I needed to get and it wouldn't work in my Mac, Windows Laptop, Desktop or Xbox360. So I gave it a shot on my PS3 and it was doing the same thing. It wasn't detecting it on ANYTHING. Then that's where something I can't explain happened; somehow, the PS3 recovered + repaired my USB. Don't know if this is just a coincidence or the pen drive was working all along, but yeah...it's strange. I was suddenly able to access all of my files that I lost. I then took it out my PS3 and put it back in my PC and it was miraculously working on that. Tried it on my Mac and Laptop and it was working on those too. I backed up all the files on it and reformatted the USB right away. Now it's working perfectly. I don't know how it happened. Maybe it's just my luck or the pen drive that I''m using. But **** yeah. I'm happy :) If you have a broken USB try leaving it in your PS3 for about 30 minutes. Might not work for everyone...but give it a shot.
