It sounds like the device may have become damaged when it was being ejected from the computer memory sticks don't normally get hot this could be dead I'm afraid.

Check it again in the original computer that worked, if it doesn't work, the second computer probably burned it. Probably shorted pins in the USB port. Visuallycheck for bent or mis-aligned pins when you are using different computers all the time.

bring it to the store where you buy it, tell the man it's broken, or if it's burned maybe you'll have to buy another one. the same case with my friend, he got the IC burned out bad...

If it isn't working in any computer then I would say it is broken.
