Cannot Remove Write Protection From My USB Drive

Today, one of my long used USB pen drive suddenly become write protected. Whenever I try to save or copy a file to it, it will popup and says "the disk is write protected".

So, I did some googling and try to remove write protection with attributes disk clear readonly. But the problem is, it seems to be doesn't remove the read only state and I am still unable to write file to my USB drive.

DISKPART> attributes disk clear readonly

Disk attributes cleared successfully.

DISKPART> attributes disk
Current Read-only State : Yes
Read-only  : No
Boot Disk  : No
Pagefile Disk  : No
Hibernation File Disk  : No
Crashdump Disk  : No
Clustered Disk  : No

How can I solve it?

Means it might be dying - make sure there's nothing important on there. – djsmiley2k TMW – 2016-09-20T14:02:24.333

Dupe: What can I do if my USB flash drive is write-protected or read-only? (I'm out of close votes)
