call 18004254515 (Kingston complaint). Get a complaint number, send the pen drive to the service center along with this complaint number. You will get a replacement in a wekk. In case you don't have a service center in your area, ask them if you can send it by post.

you don't need any papers, just give them the damaged pen drive. When I got it replaced, they never asked for any papers. But this will do only if you take th PD to the service center, shops will not replace your PD without papers.

No way. They go kaput easily.

Just try finding Corsair Voyager GT or Sandisk Cruzer.

So you called the number? I told you, they don't even ask anything, just get it replaced.

Mostly, a good pen drive never refuses to get formatted, so if it does, 99% chances it is damaged. So if it is corsair or Kingston, get it replaced, if its transcend, throw it away. (I don't know about other companies)
