fdm14gem22 Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've just purchased and received a Corsair 16GB Flash Voyager. The activity led is visible only when I first plug in the drive or during r/w activity. I have several flash drives and the led's are always on. What's disconcerting about the led not being lit is that it opens up the potential for unplugging the drive without going thru the safe to remove routine. When I do the safe to unplug, the actvity led does not light up either. Again leading to a "did I or didn't I" dilemma. I don't think this behavior or lack of is normal. Is there a fix or do I RMA it back to Newegg or Corsair? Probably Corsair since it's a rebate purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 6, 2008 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 6, 2008 Please try to format the drive from a command prompt with this syntax: Format (X:) /FS:FAT32 /U (X=the drive letter assigned to the Flash Voyager) If you still have problems we can get it or them replaced, please use the RMA request found in TSXpress or follow the link in my signature “I think I have a bad part!” and we will be happy to replace them or it!

fdm14gem22 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Thank you Ram Guy. As suggested, the Flash Voyager was reformatted with the forwarded syntax from the command prompt. Unfortunately, the issue with the LED was not fixed. I will use the RMA request to return the drive for replacement. There is only one drive to return.

fdm14gem22 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share Posted October 8, 2008 Quick question. I received the RMA approval and a ready to ship the drive back. I sent an email to support but have not received a reponse. Do I return just the drive or the neck strap and usb extension cable also? Thank you.

fdm14gem22 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 I recently received the replacement 16GB Voyager for the one I returned with the LED issue. To my dismay, this replacement has the same LED problem. The LED only lights up when there is read/write activity going on with the drive. This leads me to ask the question, should the LED be lit to show that the drive is plugged in and in a readiness state? Also, when the safe to eject is invoked, all of my other flash drive LED's flash activity, this drive's LED did nothing. I am running Windows XP Prof (Media Center) SP3. Any help or advice you can offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
