Once when I was fishing, I snagged this old lantern from back in the 1800's. The damn thing was still lit. If you quit telling us funny stories, I'll blow out my light and quit getting stoned. ;)

I succeeded in destroying my Lexar 128mb (one of the purple "guitar shaped" ones) one time, and it took no effort at all.

I was building a new system for a buddy, and plugged the front usb connectors into the mobo. Unfortunately, in my hurry to get this done, or something like that, I switched two of the connections around. A while later, I had to transfer a file to that computer, and put the info on my Lexar. Popped it out of my computer, inserted it into the other computer, and heard a POP!!, then saw a little wisp of smoke!! :shocked:

That sucker is DEAD. And as cheap as they are nowadays, it wasn't worth even looking into getting it repaired.

I am, of course, not responsible for any damage to your mobo or jump drive if you decide to try this approach! ;)

E-mail the company and tell them your story, maybe you can get some cash out of it or something?
