Write enablw switch on "Elite" Thumb drive

[RSDonovan]

I have a 32MB Elite Thumb drive which worked fine up till today.

I tried to delete stuff from it and it said it was read-only. I can't move stuff to it, reformat if, only read stuff from it, which is pretty useless.

I was wondering if there was a "hidden" read-only switch I might have set by accident. I can't see anything obvious on the device but there are a couple of metallic bits on the device that may be switches, or maybe just for show.

I can't find anything on google so hoping someone here can help out.

Thanks in advance
