My usb (DynaStore 16gb) at the moment doesn't work on my computer. I'm using windows 7. it doesn't show up on MyComputer or disk management So I CAN'T format it. the light stills flashes even though it's not working. I've tried almost everything to access the files using software, so most likely it's a hardware related problem. so... what can I do?

btw, if there isn't a way to fix the usb could there be a way to restore the files

If there appears to be no damage or broken solder and jiggling it in the usb does not work then i do not know what else to suggest apart from
sending it to a data recovery service , i suggest you look this up in your local area or perhaps post the usb stick to one of these services, how much it will cost you and weather retrieving the data you have stored on it is worth doing is up to you.
I wish i could help further but without physically having the drive there is nothing more i can do
I wish you luck , all the best
