Corrupted exfat usb flash drive

Question

I tried already the answers. here here2 and here

Output of fdisk -l:

Output of fsck.exfat -p:

Then the usb disconnects automatically. Mount or lsusb doesn't make it appear and i have to unplug and plug it again.

Output of dosfsck -r:

I tried formatting the drive with the GUI Disks method. It just stopped working.

I also tried rm -rf to the data on the disk. The output was Input/Output error on empty directories. Ls command afterwards same error.

fsck.exfat -v output:

I tried Windows as well but error is: Unknown USB device (set address failed) and i tried the windows fixed. None worked.

So did i make this usb unusable? And yes i did remove safely the drive.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it. Seemed to be Confusion but i tried mkusb and after some time the device suddenly cannot get recognized from the system and have to replug it. — stavromachinima, Commented Oct 9, 2022 at 14:03
After some time ... sounds like an unusual problem. What happened after replugging (and retrying with mkusb)? — sudodus, Commented Oct 9, 2022 at 14:32
Please post output of terminal as code formatted text instead of as pictures: easier to read, possible to search and to copy. This could be a hardware failure. — vanadium, Commented Oct 9, 2022 at 15:18
@sudodus Same loop. It starts...and after some time...cannot get recognized. — stavromachinima, Commented Oct 10, 2022 at 13:04
