Before you start, note that 1. Identify Your Controller
In the flash configuration tab, input the precise VID and PID codes you discovered during your ChipGenius diagnostic scan.
The AU87101A UFDISK identifier refers to a specific hardware and firmware signature found on USB flash drives using Alcor Micro controller chips.
If you have an AU87101A device working, back it up immediately. If you are trying to fix one... ask yourself: Is the data worth the headache?
A: First, try different USB ports and computers. If detected, attempt low-level formatting with disk management tools. For advanced recovery, search for "Alcor MP tool" or "Alcor mass production tool" (use at your own risk). If all fails, the drive is likely physically damaged.
The drive shows up in file explorer, but its capacity is listed as 0 bytes, and it cannot be accessed.
A: No. It is a symptom of firmware failure. However, a virus can cause the corruption that leads to this error.
This case highlights a critical point: even when a controller chip is detected by the operating system (as AU87101A ), the actual storage media or the controller's internal logic may be physically damaged. Low-level software recovery (like dd or mkfs ) may not resolve hardware issues.
(and its companion packages like AlcorMP) bypassed operating system limitations entirely by working directly via the device's unique Vendor ID (VID) and Product ID (PID) . Rather than attempting to format a logical volume, UFDisk: Resets the controller registers on the AU87101A chip.
Insert your broken USB drive into a native motherboard USB port (avoid external hubs).
: Windows detects the USB device controller but cannot communicate with the NAND memory.
