Answer:
Has it run out of ink? pen drive, ink, get it? But seriously, have a look at the connector, see if the contacts are there and in good order. If you are not sure, compare it with another usb connector to see. Maybe try cleaning the connector ( very carefully! ) with a soft cloth, damp with methylated spirits or curcuit board cleaner. Maybe try a friends computer as well. Or try a computer with a different operating system on it to the one you are using or even a later version. Just remember, to have enough storage on the machine to be able to transfer your files off the pen drive if it works. Once you have the files rescued, hit the pen drive with a hammer and put it in the bin sorry, recycle it. Remember the golden rule after this back-up, back-up, back-up!
When you plug it into the USB port and if your computer(s) can see the drive. Try and do a check disk in the drive, that may help. If the computer can see the drive, then you can use third party software choices to also check the disk. Spinrite is a great tool that should be able to help you, it isn't free but if it can save your data..

Other than that, there isnt much else to do beside replace the drive.
