    I used to do micro soldering for hobby and ended up doing pretty well. But you have surgeon hands and insane experience on the devices you repair. I love your videos because I watch them with kid eyes, amazed by the tools, the spare parts and your workspace. God bless you. Best wishes from Paris.

    Excellent! Also, I placed and received your supplies from you a week or two ago and everything is absolutely great! I had to install a bunch of tiny JST connectors last week, and after every clean install, I would here a voice in my head telling me that it was "Better then factory!" ....of course, I am the factory, but the sentiment remains.

    Awsome job, Alex! May i suggest you to make an universal flash drive test jig with a solid USB B (2.0/3.0) female connector with four/nine terminals. You can fasten the flash drive to the jig and connect wires from drive to the terminals. Then you have a rigged platform, you can connect and disconnect with ease and without being afraid of the fragile wires. Then you can give it to BigBoss to recover.

    • @JonHaa87

    It looks like there was enough through-hole left on either end to secure the port down to the board and then jump wires from there to the traces/groundplane.
    Did you do the recovery repair differently so that it is difficult for the customer to keep using the drive on purpose then? It sounds like the smarter thing to do if I think about it I guess.

    if you need only data recovery and you have another working compatible board, wouldn`t be easyer to move the memory chip on the good board and take the data out?

    • @zetsubou3704

      It could be risky desoldering and moving these chips, may cause damage or chip might end up dead from excess heat.

    • @ejeckk
      @ejeckk Год назад +7

      The further one gets away from the original source the higher the chance of error or loss. The controller may be serialized. The voltages on the various components of the new board may be wrong on the replacement board and may cause further or irreparable damage. Stick with the original and only transfer components to a new board in the most extreme cases (i.e. cracked circuit board, overwhelming number of missing components, etc.) The 'easiest' path is not always the 'safest' path.
