class=\"otl-heading\">1. USB Port or Cable Issues<\/h3><p class=\"otl-paragraph\">In daily use, USB ports accumulate dust or suffer wear. A loose or damaged port can interrupt the connection, making it seem like the flash drive is faulty.<\/p><p class=\"otl-paragraph\"><strong>Typical signs include:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li class=\"otl-paragraph\">The drive works on another computer<\/li><li class=\"otl-paragraph\">Intermittent connection sounds<\/li><li class=\"otl-paragraph\">No power indicator on the flash drive<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"otl-heading\">2. Outdated or Corrupted USB Drivers<\/h3><p class=\"otl-paragraph\">Windows relies on USB drivers to communicate with external devices.
