Boy did I have a scare today...I've been keeping my schoolwork on my flash drive, and when I plugged it in today...it wasn't recognized by my computer.

A 1 page and a 6 page paper were on it that are due tomorrow. So when I got to school, I tried it on a computer there...and nothing. So now I'm starting to get a little worked up...and I decide that when I get home, I'll fix the Doyle way!!!

So, I get home and after a few minutes, I got it cracked open to look at the insides. As I'm looking at it, I happen to notice a little tiny resistor that broke off and is sitting in the casing. So, I use a pair of tweezers, and a magnifying glass and discover where and how it fits on the circuit board. I then plugged the naked drive into the USB, and pressed down on the resistor. Luckily, I was able to make a connection long enough to copy my files over to my hard drive.

I currently have it glued on, but I will need to solder it back on at some point.
