Gawd, I'm pissed at myself.

I was hurting some noice in the dryer thinking it was a penny. There I see my precious red baby all dried up.
I connected to my computer and it seems it can detect some kind of USB item but is unknown. I really need to get the information somehow from this JumpDrive and let it rest in piece.

I had so much information in it. Is there anything I can do to restore it?

Take the covers off of it (carefully!) and rinse the circuit board with distilled water, then let it air dry for a couple days. It probably still has some soap & other crud inside it that will need to come off before you try to use it.
