The controller is one of the most important components in all technical and electrical devices, since it is responsible for control, and without it, accordingly, nothing will work. It also plays a very important role in flash devices, but, unfortunately, periodically its malfunction is the cause of the failure of the entire flash drive.
Necessary
Personal computer, flash drive
Instructions
Step 1
Determining the type of controller is of great importance for fixing a USB flash device. To accomplish this task, it is convenient to use special programs that are freely available on the Internet. First of all, in order to determine the type of controller, you need to follow the link https://www.flashboot.ru/Files-file-44.html. Next, download the special CheckUDisk 5.3 program, which is written about on this page. Install the program. In general, we can say that the installation will take less than a minute. Open the downloaded archive and run the exe file
Step 2
When you do this, a small window will open in front of you, in which you must check the box next to the "All USB Device" item. If a USB flash drive is inserted into the computer, a list of working devices will appear in the "Connected UDisc" window, where you must select your flash drive and click on it with the left mouse button.
Step 3
Now, in the list that is displayed in the lower window, you can see the name of the flash drive and other information, but special attention should be paid to the VID & PID indicators, which are directly related to the controller, as, accordingly, determine its type. When looking for drivers for a USB flash drive or other tasks, VID & PID data are very important.
Step 4
To perform the function of determining the type of controller, you can use other programs, for example, UsbIDCheck, ChipGenius, or USBDeview. But there is not much difference, since they are extremely similar to each other. As you can see, it is not so difficult to determine the type of controller in a USB flash device, but it will help to solve many problems. The main thing is only to follow a certain algorithm of actions.
