Any tips on data recovery for a flash drive? The light on the drive flashes on for a second when its first plugged in, but the computer doesn't recognize it in device or disk manager. I've peeled off the casing and the solder joints look fine. Anything else to try besides sending it off somewhere specialized?

try it on a linux machine
burn a live CD, boot it up, open a terminal, run "lsblk"
see the drives that appear, then connect your usb, run "lsblk" again, see if it appears.

Was getting ready for that. Got a Kali cd right next to me. Wasn't aware of that command, thanks.

hopefully you've learned a valuable lesson here and will run a flash drive raid1 next time
