    My USB 2.0 msd got water damage a couple weeks ago, seemed to work fine for about a week after drying, but recently, is not being recognized by the usb port as being plugged in, I only hear the clicking and the light green light flicker red then the clicking stops, and no driver letter. Is it junk?

    Hang it out to dry for at least two or three weeks with the USB plug hanging down.

    Then try to run a FAT32 format... if that is not possible, then look for USB repair software... there are severa good ones you will find with a gurgle search... or try the website of the USB drive manufacturer if you can tell who made it... Sandisk has one that works with a lot of them.

    I had two USB flash drives that got water damaged during the flood here (in the Philippines). Didn't use it in a week. Both are working now with no data loss. My 2 USB bluetooths don't work anymore.
