USB Flash Drive Memory Device Issue(s): Reasons you may be submitting a request:
– I received my ID-ME card and the USB flash drive memory device and/or USB module is not working.
– I have been a member for less than two (2) years and my USB flash drive memory device and/or USB module suddenly stopped working.
Having a flash drive that becomes corrupted, needs formatting or simply appears to have stopped working can be common. Many times the issue can be easily fixed without requesting a new card.
The first step is to go online, open your browser and search the issue with phrases such as…
– Repair My USB Flash Drive
– USB Flash Drive Not Recognized
– USB Flash Drive Not Responding
And so on…
Inserting the flash drive in different devices or operating systems can create a need for the drive to be formatted. This is one of many common reasons your flash drive may have stopped working or is no longer performing properly. Details on fixing a USB flash drive can range from basic to advanced. We are not asking for you to take apart your flash drive and operate however we are asking that you do a little research before submitting your request.
If the flash drive has been misused or not properly cared for within the warranty period your request may be denied. To avoid this please review our Warranty Policy in our “Terms and Conditions”.
U-ID Code Issue(s): Reasons you may be submitting a request:
– I received my ID-ME card and the U-ID code image cannot be read/scanned.
– I have been a member for less than two (2) years and my U-ID code image can no longer be read/scanned.
Make sure you have cleaned the surface and removed any obstructions or contaminants. Soft cloth dampened lightly with warm water can be helpful.
