Can a memory stick be repaired

[assad]

Is it possible to run a scan disk on a memory stick to repairs any bad sectors.
I have a 4gb Sony Memory stick which comes up with corrupted files.
I was wondering if there is a program which can repair.

Do you know for sure it is the memory card that is going bad? Have you tried your file on another memory stick? As for a repair method, I don't know of any. usually if a flash media goes bad, it goes bad hard. At least in my validation experience. I have tools that can make flash media go bad in less than 5 minutes lol.

IT IS A PROVEN FACT THAT IF YOU USE COUNTERFEIT MEMORY STICKS LIKE THE ONES I PURCHASED ON ebay, YOU WILL GET 1 WORKING VIDEO BUT ALL OTHERS WILL BE CORRUPTED. I THEN SWITCHED TO GENUINE SONY MEMORY STICKS AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE.
