Some user's said Heat was the issue ?? This happened to me 1 time... I bought a 2 foot female USB to USB Female cable... and, the Thumb drive is now in a cool spot! You can most likely get one at Amazon or Wallgreen's - So my set is an LED/LCD TV but it puts out some (little) heat. Try the above.. another 50/50 chance...good luck..
