What’s wrong with the U disk not responding when plugged in?

Nowadays, U disk has become one of the necessary tools in people’s daily life and work. However, sometimes we plug in the USB flash drive and find that it has no response. What should we do in this case? This article will give you a detailed analysis of the reasons why the USB flash drive does not respond when plugged in and possible solutions.

First of all, the unresponsiveness of the USB flash drive may be caused by the following common reasons.

First, the U disk interface is loose. When the U disk fails to connect normally, we need to first check whether the connection between the U disk and the computer interface is firm. People who often use U disks will find that when the U disk is inserted into the computer interface, it is easy for the interface to become loose. At this time, we should carefully check the U disk interface. If the interface is found to be loose, you can try to replace the U disk interface first, or use tape and other methods to reinforce the interface to ensure a stable connection.

Second, the U disk is faulty or damaged. Sometimes, the USB flash drive does not work properly because the USB flash drive itself is faulty or damaged. In this case, we can try to insert the USB flash drive into another computer. If there is still no response, then it is likely that the USB flash drive itself has failed. At this time, we can try to use data recovery tools (such as Recuva, etc.) to try to recover the data in the failed USB flash drive, or apply to the manufacturer for repair or replacement.

Third, the computer USB interface is faulty. Sometimes, there is no response when the USB flash drive is plugged in because there is a problem with the USB interface of the computer. At this time, we can try to insert the U disk into other available USB interfaces. If the USB flash drive can be recognized and used normally, then the problem lies in the USB interface that was originally inserted. You can try using a paper towel or cotton swab to clean the dust inside the USB interface to determine if there is a poor contact. If it still doesn't work properly after cleaning, you may need to seek help from a professional repairman or replace the motherboard.

Fourth, driver problem. Sometimes, the computer cannot recognize the USB flash drive because there is a problem with the system driver. We can try to reinstall the computer's USB driver to solve this problem. First, we can try to uninstall the original USB driver in the device manager, then restart the computer, and the system will automatically reinstall the driver. If the problem persists, you can try updating or installing the latest version of the USB driver with the help of third-party software.

Finally, there is another possibility that it is a computer settings problem. Sometimes, the computer will set restrictions on external storage devices, causing the USB flash drive to be unable to be recognized and used. We can try to find relevant options in the computer settings to ensure that there are no restrictions on the use of USB flash drives.

To sum up, when the U disk does not respond after being plugged in, we need to gradually investigate the problem. First check the connection status of the U disk interface, then try to insert the U disk into another computer to determine whether the U disk itself is faulty, then check whether the computer's USB interface is working normally, and finally consider driver issues or computer setting restrictions. Only by checking these steps one by one can we find the problem and take corresponding solutions to repair the USB flash drive problem to ensure the security and normal use of our data.
