When a flash drive fails with errors like "The disk is write protected," "No Media," or shows "0 bytes," it usually indicates a corrupted controller firmware rather than a physical hardware failure . For drives utilizing the Alcor Micro family of controllers, such as the AU6989SNGTC , the standard fix is using the (Mass Production Tool). The Essential Repair Tool: AlcorMP AlcorMP Utility
Switch to a physical USB 2.0 port or short the data pins (Hardware Test Mode) on the chip if it's completely dead. No Media / 0 Bytes: Re-open , locate
Run the tool and locate the and Controller Part-Number lines.
