Hi all!
Last week I happened to buy a new 16 gig pen drive to backup important stuff... then I started using time machine and everything was OK till today. Now whenever I pop in the flash drive to the USB port, my macbook won't recognize it and after a few seconds the drive will get really, really insanely-absurdely hot to the point that I will remove it afraid of something worse happening.
Tried on my PC usb ports as well but the drive isn't recognized too..
Is there anything I could do to try to fix it? :confused:
