magnetized usb flash drive

[Joel727]

I magnetized usb flash drive with the center of a metal candle holder
which was magnetic. How do I un-magnetize my usb flash drive?

I think you ruined the flash drive. But why have you done
this "experiment"?

Anyway this can be a good topic to warn anyone to handle
with care all your drives and electronic gear.

Many problems told in the forums happen for carelessness.

A flash drives is RAM. Why would it be ruined?

A flash drives is RAM. Why would it be ruined?

More important, why would someone magnetize a USB drive or think that he
had done so and if he actually did why would he want or need to demagnetize it.

BTW, the answer to the question is to use a degaussing coil and proper
technique.

So, do you think the drive can be used normally? I've made a search,
seems that there are discordant statements about this.

I've never done such "experiment"... so I don't know exactly how much
can be used of the drive after what he has done.

Anyway, why he should write here a message, if the drive works
normally  after being magnetized...

This action was an error on my part, forgetting that the center of
dish was magnetic.
The drive can not be seen by any of the 5 computers I tried it on,
this means not lights are on, in the usb jump drive.
If I could see the drive, I could copy the files on it or I would
just install a new driver.
