How is it broken? Did it bust open? Is it flat out not reading? Is it smoking? Is it incurring the Wrath of Khan?

Usually, if a flash drive is toast, that's it. However, if your computer simply can't read it, there might be a solution.

Ditto.

Upload the picture to a site like www.imageshack.us and upload it there. When it's done, post the link.

That chip is cracked, if I see it right. Not much of anything you can do with that.

Yeah, it's rubbish now.

How did you manage to break it like that?
