Today, I tried to deconstruct a write-protected USB device to locate a switch that would re-enable the device. Here's the method.
![]() Deconstructing a write-protected Kingston DataTravelerMini USB Device. | ![]() Weapon of choice: Clean Fucking Knife. |
![]() Using CFK, we start deconstructing by finding the weakest spot in its sturdy blue armor. | ![]() A successful deconstruction method should give us something like this. Not something like this. |
![]() That would make my Wiki-ed method of "write-enabling a USB" a great fucking failure. | ![]() With so much trial and errors I decided to give reformatting a try. |

Using Access Check, I know I have access to do whatever I want with the USB device.

Yet, still.
If you have the same USB model and problem like mine, do not use this method. It's not the solution. I could only suggest you buy the "switched" ones next time. I will.
