Technology found in a no brand usb flash stick with company logo mass produced.

This usb would power up and show a red led light. It would draw 0.5a at 5v and would trigger a windows usb detection but with no mountable volume.

All smd tested ok.

A working donor usb was obtained. It would draw the same current but the LED would rapidly flash when connected with correct volume size.

The main controller chip was transplanted. Donor to Patient equals same symptoms. Patient to donor would work.
