I've been told that you can take the battery cover off and use a paperclip or a pin. I'd happily accept pull requests to improve this software. I think each call is actually timing out and so it will take minutes. sd 40:0:0:0: Assuming drive cache: write through sd 40:0:0:0: Asking for cache data failed sd 40:0:0:0: Test WP failed, assume Write Enabled sd 40:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0 scsi 40:0:0:0: Direct-Access Leapfrog My Pal Scout 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 usb-storage 2-1.2:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0f63, idProduct=0d00 usb 2-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 105 using ehci-pci The important part is finding the device.
