Looking for USB flash drive parts, or general question, mundane topic

Here’s a total shot in the dark. This is the model of jump drive I have. I lost the cap last week in a lecture hall, and I’m sure it’s gotten swept up and tossed by now. Is there any type of place I could go just to get a new cap? Or am I pretty much SOL?

Shoulda gone with a retractable one. :smack:

First thing I’d try is to see if anyone is selling replacement caps on eBay.

No dice. Maybe if I periodically go to the library or someplace where other students are breaking out their jump drives I’ll find a lost cap to replace it with.

Something very funny to me is how at the lab I used to work at had a couple downright ancient jump drives (hot damn it’s fun to call them that :D), all of which still had their caps. I was always real fastidious about keeping track of them. Only four months since I got this thing and as soon as I let someone else use it they vanish the damned cap. :rolleyes:

I really shoulda gone retractable.

Call or Email Memorex, I’ll bet they send you one for free. I’ve had a couple of caps sent to me because I kept breaking them.

I don’t want to argue with you, but I just searched “flash drive caps” and found this.

Swivel is a nice option, too. I have a Lexar that swivels and is very nicely built and reliable. Imation also makes a whole line of swivel drives.

Seems we had a miscommunication; sorry. I found generic caps all over the place. I was looking specifically for memorex caps (yeah, I’m picky like that). This drive is a bit of a pain in the ass anyway with that U3 crap. Fortunately there’s a means to uninstall it.

Thanks for the advice, Joey P. I’ll give that a try.
