frostrambler Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 9 out of 10 times I stick it into any computer it comes off as either a RAW or unrecognized format, the other 1 out of 10 times a computer might recognize it, and actually let me see my data on it, but then sometimes I cant copy data onto it because the computer says its write protected. I have formatted it a few times, tried it in two windows machines and one OSX (MacBook Pro) machine and it's very rare for it to be recognized anymore. Should I RMA this?

frostrambler Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yeah it is definately dead, I noticed in my administrative tools event monitor that when I connect the Flash Voyager, that my computer tells me it has bad blocks, and it virtually never recognized anymore as a Flash Voyager, instead its some other wierd USB name starting with a P. This needs to be RMA'd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostrambler Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 I checked again and it comes up as blank, with RAW formatting, and a Prolific USB drive, which I see other users on this forum have had. I submitted an RMA using my first post ID with the Techsupport express link that RMAguy has in his signature, I hope that it is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted an RMA using my first post ID with the Techsupport express link that RMAguy has in his signature, I hope that it is ok. I had this very same problem and sent my drive back from Toronto, ON, Canada via XpressPost USA to Corsair on November 14, 2006. I received back via UPS Next Day Air, a brand new blister package with a 2GB drive. I haven't had a chance to try out the new drive but was VERY impressed with Corsairs Customer Service once I had the RMA approval. To answer your question - this is correct. If you don't get a response in 24 hours send another request and I got one IMMEDIATELY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostrambler Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well I submitted my RMA request around 12 oclock today I think, RMAguy must be busy, he hasnt replied to any posts here since morning. They are closed over the weekend, so Im hoping to get my RMA authorization on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 They were closed yesterday and today for Thanksgiving, Ram Guy and specmike are occasionally hitting the forums on their own free time over the past 2 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostrambler Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Yeah thats fine, I'm pretty sure that when RAMguy shows up on Monday he will authorize the RMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianf74 Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Don't worry... you'll get your RMA response soon. I was very surprised with the speed of the turnaround from Toronto to California so you'll probably be even happier. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostrambler Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 I am in NY, so if I mail it on Tuesday, they get it on Friday, and I can have it back the following week, which is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharper Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'm having very similar problems with my 2GB Flash Voyager. Currently, I can't even format it using the EzRecover program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
