My flashdrive was working just fine until one day it wouldn't work on any computers I tried it on. I inserted it just fine and nothing seems to be wrong with USB connector or port. PLEASE HELP!!!!! THANX!

Call a tech to come out and trouble shoot or see if you can do a fix repair on your computer.

If it doesn't work anywhere it is probably bad. Sorry...
It is possible that just the file allocation table is messed up and you could reformat it. You didn't really say what you mean by "Not working." That could be everything from totally dead to the systems says it doesn't recognize the format and asking if you want to format.
If it powers up, but doesn't mount, there is a chance that it could be reformatted and work again. See if it show up in the Device Manager and what the Device Manager thinks it is. There is even an outside shot that data recovery software could revive the data if this is the case. But usually when they go out, they are dead.
I will add that you could buy one cheaper than have someone work on it. Unless the data is worth a few hundered dollars and there is some signs of life on the drive, just move on.
