| 1 | I was trying to zero out a USB stick and at some point it seems to have locked |
| 2 | itself up. By that I mean that for all intends and purposes I cannot write to |
| 3 | it in any conceivable way. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | I tried to delete /dev/sdb1 with c/fdisk, the dd zeros into /dev/sdb1, |
| 6 | /dev/sdb and also the first 512B to delete the partition table, but nothing |
| 7 | seems to work. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | /dev/sdb1 is still there no matter how I try to delete/format/overwrite it. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Is there a way of resetting whatever needs resetting in the USB flash chip to |
| 12 | make it work again? |
