Flash drive won't work on my radio

I have a 2016 Tundra with the Entune Premium Audio system according to the owner's manual. I have flash drive with all my music on it & it's been working fine since I bought the truck a year ago. A week ago it just stopped playing music. I tried removing the drive from the USB port & reinstalling - no dice. Went to audio sources & the USB icon is not lit up. I don't have another flash drive to try. I did plug the drive into my laptop & it recognized it & I could see all the music on it but I couldn't get it to play but that could just be cuz I'm VERY computer illiterate. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Any other vehicles that you can try it in?

 

Maybe blow a little compressed air into the USB port.

This sounds like your drive crapped out on you.
I hope you backed it up to your laptop.

Do you have a cable to try to plug phone in the USB port of the truck?
That would at least tell you if it is working.

I think it will only show up on the radio screen if it has something to read.

 

First thing I would do is get a similar usb drive and put a few mp3s on it and try that one. If that doesn’t work then it’s likely more the head unit in the truck, could try disconnecting the battery for a bit or see if there is a reset option in the head unit menu.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them asap
