USB no longer reads

did you try to make a copy of it, on another usb stick? (in a PC or laptop) and try this new stick  in your desk?

I would use an empty stick, freshly formatted FAT32 . and copy everyting to it. Do not create  folders.

Hi @hermionejay

Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.

The Zero88 USB with our shows on it was fine on Monday but since Tuesday the desk doesn’t recognise it as present.

As per @Ed75's suggestion, have you tried plugging your USB drive into a Windows PC? If so, can you see the USB drive in File Explorer?

I have found that occasionally when I take a USB drive from my FLXS24 and put it into the PC to update files, windows has to repair the USB drive. I have not noticed a cause yet as it does not happen very often.

As with you, don't do this much but I'd say it does it practically every time.

Hi thanks for help. I can’t get it to read - it asks to format it and I have to wipe the USB for that but looks like it’s done for. Can I use any USB on the desk or do I need a replacement zero88? 

Any USB drive should work with FLX S consoles. The USB drives that used to come with Zero 88 consoles were in the FAT32 format.
