[ale] Thumb drive problem

[TheSmokintbird]

Have you tried more than one computer?
How about an OTG cable on your phone?

If you are seeing the same problem with multiple computers...

I would personally try throwing it in the freezer for a couple hours to
chill it out.

If it's a heat related problem it might buy you enough time to image, and
if it's a solder or physical board problem it will either work or not, but
shouldn't do the same cycling problem you have seen.

If it still cycles, it is probably the memory controller and will likely
not be recoverable...  unless the data is worth the several hundred dollars
it would cost to pay for data recovery (myharddrivedied.com)
