How to Demage USB Repair Without Any Software Easy Step In 2 Min
When your USB flash drive doesn’t work anymore there’s two categories it will fall into. In other words, there’s two main levels of USB flash drive recovery.
Are the following true for you: your flash drive is NOT actually PHYSICALLY broken, your your computer can recognize it, your computer assigns it a drive letter? If your answer is yes you can always try flash drive recovery software.
However, software will not work for drives that are not being detected, or recognized. This means you likely have a problem with the controller chip on the device, or a physical problem. In other words it has failed, or become corrupt.
Broken Stems and Connectors, & Dead Drives
The first level deals with broken stems, or USB connectors and requires above average (not handyman) precision soldering skills.
Because of the size of the circuitry and parts, how the device receives power, as well as the difficulty of soldering, unexpected damage is a frequent issue with DIY attempts on these drives. Soldering irons have the potential to burn or melt the printed circuit board, make the recovery much more difficult for a professional, and even cause the drive to be unrecoverable.
Solder can easily be crossed with points on the drive shorting out other components that are required for the drive to communicate with the computer. Another common mistake is when the prongs, or whatever contraption being used to connect the drive to a computer is improperly connected, the memory chips and/or other components can be damaged due to improper power being supplied
If you have attempted to repair this yourself and the drive is not working, there is a good chance more damage has been caused and you may not be able to get your data back at all. As with all data recovery situations, you may only have one chance at recovering your data. Our engineers have seen many cases where failed DIY attempts have rendered the data lost forever.
