This flash drive got soaked, and as a result, it had built up lots of corrosion causing it to malfunction. There are several ways to get access to the data in similar situations. The controller and the NAND are 2 main components on the device. USB interface talks to the controller and the controller talks to the NAND. Corrosion leads to loss of contact, and as a first method, we would always like to see if the corrosion can be removed. Flux and fresh solder help us with that task. If your flash drive got wet but you need data from it it is best to get some professional help. Do not try to dry it in rice or test and see if you "dodged the bullet" by plugging it into your computer. This could first of all lead to more serious damages to the device and equipment as well.

Is this the one I sent? I’m very lucky to have found you! Salt water damaged, but you still retrieved the data. Amazing amazing!

Suitable naming of your drive lol.
you all probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can give me
No.1 tip - if it gets wet, DO NOT PLUG IT IN until it's completely dry - most of the corrosion is due to electrolysis when there is power and water present.
rice to the rescue
I waiting for 3days and asked God if it came on I’ll never stop loving him
Nothing more satisfying than watching someone use the right tools. Too many youtubers squirting a gallon of flux on a board and soldering with a massive tip.
Thanks 👍
Dude, I am so happy your posting new videos again. love watching, and learning. your skills are getting mad good. enjoy watching, has got me into more micro soldering.
Thanks Brandon!
Hey, this is Ed from UK, really, really love your hard drive recovery videos. Keep up the good work, and good luck to you in these hard pandemic times. Again thank you for your videos and have a good day sir.
Thanks Ed
Ah my favorite part is the BGA dots melting under the heat gun. So satisfying.
I could watch this stuff forever!! I am in western Can. Health took me out of work, I have been learning to do advanced soldering etc. Because of you, I know what is possible!!
Thanks Phil
Great job bringing that flash drive back to life... always enjoy your vids!
Thanks dude
I like your clean setup and JBC workstation. Great job as usual.
Love watching your work. Very professional and approachable. Keep up the good work. England/UK
Thank you
Wish to learn DR from you some day. Keep up the good work bro 🙌
Fantastic work, a nand read on that device would have been a time consuming nightmare, well work a day reworking, top work!! I work in DR and know the pain!!
Thanks Paul, yeah it would be a lengthy process to recovery from the NAND
Erkin, this thing of almost daily videos is delightful and superb, please go on, a like and a share button were alredy used immediately ...
:)
My dear friend.
I really would love to hit 100K before the the end of the year. I know it's a huge gap to close, but the channel with the Spider Board video is getting good traction, so not to loose the momentum, I'll do my best to surf the hype wave :)
subscribed. like what you do and how you approach. i learned something again.
Perfect
Your videos are always a pleasure to watch.
Awesome, thanks
you have amazing skills, love the videos
Luck is not a factor for you that we know. Great job Erkin :-)
Haha, thanks
Great job! Thanks for video!
This is why I still like optical disc like CD-r -rw.
Great work as always.
Love your work you inspire me immensely you really do.
I appreciate that. Thank you Lee
Bringing hope to the helpless.
Amazing work as always
Thanks
Great work! What PCB vice do you use?
Awesome content :D as usual ;)
That's not a lot of flux, maybe one Paul of flux at most. There's a guy who would have used three Pauls of flux on that! Good job as always.
I see what you did there 😂
Awesome video :)
Perfect.
Nice video keep up good work, btw maybe it would help to "bake" the usb drive before soldering to maybe decrease the "buckling" on nand and pcb by getting the humidity down?
It had plenty of time to dry out before it was shipped in
Love your work jop
Thank you
Best your work
That microscope you recommend in your description... wow.. that's expensive.. have you looked at any of the amscope scopes? Much cheaper, and still great quality. Is there a reason you choose that scope?
Can u make video for soldering techniques and reballing
Congratulations, very good! ;-)
You're always my number one
Thanks Mario
Would running it through an ultrasonic cleaner clean it up well enough to just "plug it in"? Or would the terminals be too corroded to make contact?
Love the videos!
It could be. I have not had too much success with it. Taking components off is fairly easy on these devices
All i can say that you are amazing and intellgent ❤💝
Thanks
weird that without the NAND it came up as Sandisk "Karona" and then with it, came up as a cruzer glide. I can't find much online about karona except for other people having issues with their drive too. interesting.
Maybe it was a firmware that was only used on larger devices or ssd
T O T A L A W E S O M E N E S S
How do you guys bill? is it based on actual work, or? I mean if the controller had failed and you had to do a recover straight from the chip with ECC taking weeks I assume that'd cost more? How do you quote anything to the customer before hand?
that mask for applying solder paste on the nand is really cool. are they available for all bga mount form factors?
All common types have stancils
@@hddrecoveryservices thank you
what temp do you use for the solder and the air iron?
A silly question. How much could an ultrasonic cleaner help in this case?
I just got my flash drive wet from leaving it in my shorts, that later went to the washing machine; and me being stupid, I dried it with a towel then instantly plugged it in. Surprisingly, it worked and no data was lost. DON'T TRY THAT AT HOME⚡⚠💀
I guess I got lucky when I put my flash drive through the washer :D. Just washed it with a bit of isopropanol, let it dry for a day and it's good as new.
IPA saved it for you.
Suggestion: when you see a corroded via like the 2 at 18:46 - top right, address it. It can save you lots of work later.
Ive had these things survive a wash machine. So long as you let it dry out usually you’ll be fine.
This one might have been dipped into ocean
i just realized you using hot air gun at left hand and soldering iron at right hand.
Yep
Also tweezers in left
Are you lefthanded?
If you are able to fix a device, do you send it back to the client or send them the data and keep the device?
I've noticed that Erkin has a accent. Does anyone know where he's from originally or what his native language is?
Hey Erkin; Would you consider using ultrasonic to clean such a corroded device?
I have a crest, but I am not sure it would be effective in this case
That looks like salt water corrosion.
James, as a matter of fact it was. When I filmed it, for some reason I thought it went into a washing machine. Flash drive was in a bag that got dipped into ocean
Greetings, I’m in the US… how long would it take to fix a USB with water damage?
DAM HOY YOU LEARN HOW TO DO THIS WHAT YOU STUDY
Get tools and practice. Right now there are bunch of places in almost every part of the world that offer micro soldering courses. I did not study any of this stuff. One step at a time and you will learn it. Just piece of advice is to get good tools, it will make a leading process much much easier. JBC iron, good consumables (I list all mine in description) good glass (microscope), and hot air station (I use Quick)
What percentage of memory devices are not recoverable?
Overall on average? Hard to say... There are some things that make recovery impossible.
- physical damage to the NAND
- encryption/complex XOR
- some controller types are not supported
- some NAND types are not supported
For everything else there is a way if there is a will
Could you please tell me where I could get such thin tip soldering irons?
If at if u can provide amazon link its much appreciated
JBC Nano station has tips as small as 0.1mm, but I think you can get 0.1mm tip even on T210 handle.
@@hddrecoveryservices ty for ur response
13:16 Why do the metal droplets under the chip not coalesce when you move the chip on the board to position it correctly?
When you heat up solder, it will move under self surface tension to the right place, so you dont need to be 100% acurrate with the position of the chip. Also when you add a solder flux paste on joints, it will help to not stick all solder together. It seems like impossible thing, but after you try it yourself, its in fact pretty easy to achive good result.
Just a basic question, but when a drive like this is wet and/or corroded, how does the data inside the memory chip keep from being damaged? Are they so well sealed that corrosion can't get into the chip? In other words, most of the time is the data still there, even if the supporting circuits are corroded?
Yes, these components are sealed off. Headers and pads on them are fairly thick so they will not vanish from corrosion, but if they get oxidized enough the contact will be lost.
0:01 Thumbs up
You like a doctor
what tool you use to check the controller,i mean after you soldered the controller and you had 4,98 voltos and 0,02.
Without NAND attached, device should go into safe mode. That's how you know if the controller is good. But also amp readings
How many degrees for the heat extraction? 320 or more?
I use 390 for take offs and 350 for landing
Is it possible to recovery data of mini or nano pendrivers?
There are different types of failure. Some are fixable, some are not
Hi, I have some pen drive, all are got write protection locked, Cant format and clean that using disk part also.. Tried many different tools to format but all was went vein.. Is there a tool to remove the write protection..
Thank you
I have corrupted 1 tb hdd. Is it recoverable cuz I have some very important and some personal files.

Nice recovery. But your fume extractor make so noise
Any fume extractor worth paying for is going to make noise haha
@@hddrecoveryservices of course sir fume extractor is important but in was just saying it's make too noise it doesn't disturb you
it probably got dropped in a toilet
a salt water toilet?
The owner mentioned that it got salt water damage........so maybe a boating accident...or a flooding of the house near the ocean

не учу вас делать вашу работу. но, по моему вам нужна ультразвуковая ванна. к нам ссд после пожара приходил, весь в коррозиях. отмылся, данные отдал, уж как с год трудится как сервисный ssd.
Да у меня есть Crest, но я им если честно не очень часто пользуюсь. Если только инструмент, трафареты, адаптеры помыть. Т.К. эти флэшки достаточно просты на компонентном уровне, легче снять и увидеть. Если контакт убит коррозией то вряд-ли ванночка поможет
