Can u burn out a USB drive?

yes you can. if you somehow jammed it in upside down, or if there was some sort of static electric spark which supplied power to the wrong pins, your drive could easily be cooked.

or if you wiggle it to much. Just pull out.

so basically I’m screwed now? Ha at least for using that port

if you have the mcgyver bone like do you can replace it. You r going to need dental floss and a raw egg. :p

its a mac and I’m no mcgyver haha. Oh well I still have another port.

If you’re lucky enough to still be covered by AppleCare, this type of issue will be repaired for free. See http://apple.com/support or take it to a retail store.

a Mac? Oh, I feel sorry for you, holmes.

What’s the USB for, a game controller? LOL, games on a mac….

@voodoologic: It was for a flash drive. Less heckling and more answering!
