Default Non-Working Cruzer Flash Drive

I have a 2 gb Cruzer flash drive that is no longer recognized by
computers. I've tried it in several and they do not see it and the
LED does not flash. When it was last connected to a cpu, the screen
gave me a USB overcurrent message and now the drive no longer works.

Its no longer under warranty so...
Does the circuit board have a "fuse" on it that could be blown? I've
looked it over and don't recognize one. There's a osc crystal, a
couple of IC's and several trans/caps/res units.


Sounds like one of the chips/caps has shorted out. Throw it in the bin &
get a new one.
