Extracting Dead USB Flashdrive Data

I have an USB flashdrive that I bought 1 year and 2 mths ago.Normally, when I plugged it into the USB port, it drew power from the laptop, flashed a flashy red light that shows it's reading, and I can hear a some noise.

A few days ago, I plugged it into my laptop and the red light was blinking non-stopped. I pulled it out without Windows 7 having been detected it after my laptop failed to read it and the red light kept on blinking.

Now, it's totally dead,no light,no LED,no power draw,non-responsive. Try it on another laptop still the same.
I did not know it was going to die so soon. The laptop USB ports are OK with other USB flashdrives.

I have been to websites like this http://www.apextechnology.co.uk/data...vd-uk-news.asp

Phew! they sure cost a lot!
Is it possible to extract any data from it since it's already dead or non detectable device?

Can anyone help me with it?
Thank you!

Thanks for the advice.

Did this work for you?

Asking because the mechanics of recovering data from flash drives are essentially the same -- regardless of what product you use. The PROBLEM is that data recovery almost never works from flash drives. I've had that happen to me and I've used all of the well-known products and NONE of them recovery any useful data.
