>>>>>>>>>>>>Hi,

>>>>>>>>>>>>I have a Flash USB drive. I could plug it into a computer (tried on 2 computers), first it worked and I could copy files to this flash drive. But then it stopped working; showed no information. Even though when I was plugging it into the computer, a letter drive was assigned and I could see it in the Windows Explorer. I tried to format but formatting would fail.
>>>>>>>>>>>>So I decided to destroy all information on this USB. I put it in the microwave for about 5 seconds, 3-4 times (I didn't want it to melt). Now when I plug this flash drive into a computer USB, it won't even show in the Windows Explorer. Was I successful? :)

>>>>>Hrm... Let me get this straight... You've taken the trouble to *destroy* the product (at least the innards, but leave the outside intact) so you can take it back to the retailer for a refund (or replacement) so that you can express your disappointment with the product? Or are you simply going to simply return the item (without asking for refund or replacement) -- to express your displeasure?

In this country you can return a product FOR ANY REASON and you don't have to prove anything. You can return your pants because you changed your mind on the color. Re-read my post as to why I need to destroy the data on this USB.

I think this thread that started with the simply question, will go on as one of the HRC vs. Trumps ones :)
