To repair, low-level format, or restore a corrupted flash drive with this VID/PID, technicians utilize specialized software.
The USB identifier VID 1E3D PID 198A is most commonly found on USB flash drives using a . These drives are often of low quality or counterfeit, and they frequently have a false capacity. If you are experiencing issues with such a drive, immediate data recovery and low-level repair using Chipsbank's tools may be necessary.
These chips run on the USB 2.0 (High Speed) standard and draw a maximum electrical current of 100mA to 200mA. Why Do Devices with This ID Fail?
The corresponds directly to a Flash Disk manufactured by Chipsbank Microelectronics Co., Ltd. . When your operating system reads these identifiers, it maps VID 1E3D as the vendor identifier for Chipsbank and PID 198A as the product identifier for their generic mass storage controllers.
Performance varies significantly by the specific flash memory used; user tests report read speeds between 10–48 MB/s and write speeds between 3–17 MB/s Common Issues and Recovery Usb Device Id Vid 1e3d Pid 198a
Windows maps a drive letter to the device, but clicking it triggers a "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk" prompt. Disk Management shows the space as 0 Bytes .
100mA (highly efficient, making it safe for low-power hubs).
Head to trusted controller repository communities like USBDev Chipsbank Files Archive .
This is a unique 4-digit code (in hexadecimal) assigned to a company by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF). The VID is used to identify the vendor of a USB device. In your case, VID: 1e3d corresponds to a specific company. To repair, low-level format, or restore a corrupted
The Product ID corresponds to the Chipsbank CBM2099 series of USB mass-storage controllers. More precisely, PID 198A is often associated with the CBM2099E or CBM2099S variant.
Attempting to fix a malfunctioning flash drive is a two-step process. The only reliable way to address the core issue of a corrupted controller is through a dedicated software tool called a "" or " MPTool ."
macOS does not natively support this device; third-party USB overrides or virtual machine passthrough would be required.
If automatic reinstallation fails, point Windows to the correct driver: If you are experiencing issues with such a
The hardware identifier belongs to a Flash Disk manufactured by Chipsbank Microelectronics Co., Ltd. . This specific combination is frequently found in "white-label," unbranded, or generic USB thumb drives that utilize Chipsbank controller chips. Quick Device Specifications
: Use APTool (the emergency tool). When APTool finishes successfully, restart UMPTool and perform a final low-level format.
Since this chip is often used in OEM products, visit the support page of your laptop brand (Chuwi, Teclast, etc.) and download the "Fingerprint Driver" or "Touchpad Driver" package specific to your exact model.
