Sandisk Cruzer 16GB not showing up on PC

[Cenx]

Hi, I have a sandisk cruzer 16GB, with product code: SDCZ36-016G. When i plug it in to any usb port, windows makes the sound that it is detected but then it disappears again. I have checked the connection wires and paths and they are all intact. I hope you can help me as it has some extremely important files which haven't been backed up...

Try supporting the USB stick, it might be that the weight of the drive is making it sag just a bit, and the port is too loose to retain connection.
