How do I get the data from my broken USB stick?

I have a problem with a USB stick. When I plug it into the laptop, it is recognized briefly, but then disappears immediately, reappears, disappears, etc. Etc.

If I then try to click on a folder quickly, I get this message: The path is not available. "F:" is not available. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected, or the media is inserted, and try again. In the case of a network location, make sure you are connected to the network or the Internet and try again. If the location is still not found, it may have been moved or deleted.

The problem must be with the stick, since other sticks can be opened on the same laptop without any problems.

How can I get the files on the stick? Does anyone know how I can get the laptop to recognize the stick correctly?

I'm happy for any help

That sounds like a loose contact, either the USB stick is somehow damaged internally on the conductor track or something, or the USB socket is a bit dull. You should try to infect him somewhere else.

You can also try to hold it slightly tilted, maybe the contact is made temporarily while you hold it and you can copy out your data quickly.

Tried to quickly copy a folder to the laptop, but only the "Item not found" message appears.

Yes, because he is logged out before you press.

Aren't you another device where you can plug it in? Eg On the cell phone, this is also possible with the OTG adapter.

I've already tried it on other devices. On my parents 'and siblings' laptop. It was the same problem everywhere.

Then there's probably a defect internally. You would have to open it and see where the loose contact is.

Yes, the sticks are not as durable as you would like them to be. If you consider how little they are required, they break down really quickly.

I think you can forget. There's little to conjure up.

The USB stick has a loose connection or the USB socket on your laptop is loose. Unfortunately, you can no longer access the data on your USB stick. LG Crashnot11
