If it isn't detected on any PC, it's a clear warranty issue. Get a new one before it fails totally!

Be sure to get your data safely off and delete everything on it before you give it back.

Hi,

Yes I would take it back as Scan Disk have a life time warranty.

Also some computer do not recognise a USB device if you plug it into another USB connector other than the one it was first plugged into.

ie. My mate told me his USB Hard drive wouldn't work. I plugged it in and it worked fine. I ask him which port he had trouble with and we tried it and the two other ports and it wouldn't connect. Put it back in the port I had plugged it into and it worked OK. This is an OS issue rather than a hardware issue in that once it is associated with the first USB port the OS seems to block it being used in other USB ports on the same computer. I have this problem on one of my 5 USB sticks; the rest will work in any USB port.
