Flash Drive became read only

August 4th, 2016

My flash drive became write protected all of a sudden. Was transferring files from a win 10 laptop when it suddenly refused to take any more, with about half the 8gb still available. Since then i’ve tried to format it, scanned for malware, viruses, tried the one solution being prescribed everywhere, the write protect 1 to 0 in regedit ( the entry didn’t exist, created it but still no go) . Needless to say there is no physical write protect key.
Would really like some help on this. Thanks.
EDIT: Would like to mention just tried the diskpart method, it even said ‘disk attributes cleared successfully’, but still can’t format

Seems like you have done your best.
Can’t find anything that you have not tried..
Afraid to say that it must have died..
