If The Stick Stops Working

 

Put the stick in a PC or laptop. Ignore any error messages as you don't want to "fix" the stick as that will mess with the formatting.

 

Copy the contents of the Emergency Folder into  the Pandory folder. (Make sure you don't Move it in case you ever need it again.). It will ask if you want to overwrite the existing file(s) which you say yes. And that's it! Stick is fine again. with that stick is to NEVER press the Menu button on your pad when you are in the A500 menu system. That is what overwrites the file and makes it fail.
