Recovering data from my broken SD card
Вставка

- I ran over my SD card with my chair. Yep.
I could really do with getting the video file off of it, so I'm trying to recover it using the insides of a USB card reader.
Hope you enjoy!

I genuinely mean this. Your screw ups make some of the best videos. And I love how where others would see defeat, you see opportunity. It's basically your defining and most admirable characteristic. You don't give up, no matter who or what gets in your way, even if it yourself! Plus it turned into extra content! You rule man!
Yeah, agreed. this was such a fun video to watch and hear the thought process. Steve got me into electronics repair and hobby. So much fun 😎 great guy.
What we're saying is: you have to find a way to recover the audio from the first half
Nice Monkey Island wallpaper.
Love how excited you get every time you get something working !
You should add a 3D printer to your tool collection! Theres already sd card cases to make repairs like that on thingiverse that print on a few minutes! Nice video!
I prefer when he wings it about as far as one can wing it and it still works out. That would have been a good fix in general, but not near as entertaining video.
I agree, 3D printers are so handy for those little repair jobs and in my opinion a good fit for an electronics/makers workshop.
Also handy for making soldering tools and other accessories.
Actually some of my workbench furniture was created using 3D printing. My soldering station is on top of a simple table made from scrap wood and 3d printed legs.
Need a circuit board holder? print one... Need a jig for soldering LED strips?...print one, and so on...
And your hot air station, perfect for fixing nozzle leaks and jams. For me 3D printing is helpful for electronics and electronics equipment is handy for maintaining the printer.
The absolute jank of that thing was mind blowing. But hey, if it gets the job done!
The sheer joy when it works near the end. Gotta love it.
That was masterful jankiness 👍
I’m learning so much from your videos!
Keep up the good work :)
Your soldering skills are amazing!
Nicely done! Glad you managed to get your data back mate. I never would have realised about the grounding when you insert the card, so well spotted!
Great solution. We all think different and your way it's great to see. Great video! I'm glad you could recover your video!
That was epic!
Reminded me of an awesome episode of Macgyver and you just saved the world!
Yay you! It's so much fun to see you solve problems. Great job Steve!
I would never have done it the way Steve did, but I enjoy seeing different mindsets from mine.
Absolutely brilliant.
awesome recovery
Very resourceful.
"I really really really need this file."
"It's not that important really."
Nice rescue Steve thanks 😊
Holy cow!! This is the most Frankenstein thing I've seen!! I was waiting for the mushroom cloud. Lol! Well done, mate!!!!
Brilliant! I never would have thought to do something like this. Memory stored in brain SD card if I ever need it in the future...
Would be handy if you had like a little sd break out board that has a clamp of some sort where the pads connect so you could just insert the remainder of the card and clamp it onto the connectors and then use ‘normally’
- loved your excitement when the fix worked :)
Well done Steve, looking forward to you next vid. It's like watching an old friend for some reason 😀 peace
It's amazing that 128GB of storage is on that tiny board. Also, hello fellow Drobo owner!
just wait til you see 2tb microsd cards
Even more amazing when you consider how fast the data transfers over. I remember loading tapes with 64k of code that took 5-10 minutes. Now with faster SSD's you can transfer GB's in seconds.
I used to build my own computers in college. Then got out of it. The leaps that data storage has taken since then is truly mind blowing. I remember paying $30 for a 32GB USB drive.
You can even use a device that transmits audio to people in different countries!😮
amazing work, this is how they do it on recovery labs.....soldering tiny wires, they do that even on microSD.
I had a similar issue... Just ripped apart a mSD adapter and stuck the front part on it. Works just fine- even up to now in my Gp2xWiz 😂
Fantastic wallpaper on your pc. Cheers (grog)
Good Job man, great fix!
Amazing work as always! That clip at the end that you recovered... I saw the 'melted plastic' counter at 00... I thought 'noooooo' and then I looked at the sub counter and can see this must have been a while ago. Whoop! (or should I say Big Whoop?)
Yeah, twas a few weeks ago. And 10 points for the Big Whoop reference! 😅
I need a picture of this "device" on a Captain Bodge teeshirt.
Nice one, well done. Just shows how much of the card space isn't needed 🙂
There's a way to over-complicate everything. You could've even sticky-taped it to a cardboard to fit it into the reader...
This made me cry. I just had a huge hard drive crash recently. It was going to cost me close to $700 (not SE, it was an old disk drive) to have a company try to retrieve the data and it was still a long shot if they could. I decided not to waste the money since I had most of the important stuff backed up. But this made me sad because I hoped for that result with my drive and also, I will never know what was on the drive that is gone forever.
Solder a wire or two to it, then jam the guts into the reader. You can pull it out with the wires after.
Nice work dude! Well, not about the rolling over it with your chair part... ;)
I'm only a minute in but this sounds like it's going to be exciting
Wow! The interface is twice as big as the memory chip itself! I think there are aftermarket housings that you can pop these in now...
A bit of a hack job but at the same time...a stroke of genius!
Nice one 👍😎🇬🇧
you can 3d print a new case for the sd card, there are loads of designs for different chips
Phatt Island Wharf! Good old Lechuck's Revenge.
The one time we need an appropriate "get in there!", it wasn't to be found :(
wow...never knew that with the grounding.
This makes sure your card is connected to usb with all SD card pads making contact. Neat little feature.
Well Steve, you can now diversify into solid state media recovery services! Nice 🙂
Brilliant 👍
Pure brilliance from an absolute disaster!
Two videos in one day? I must have hit the lottery
I didn't know the lottery did booby prizes!
Well done sir
Captain Kate is just off screen, fuming.
Press F for respect, one time for the job and one for the wallpaper 😊
Thank you for commenting on the Monkey Island wallpaper
@@iaincowell9747 the librarian telescopic chair gave me bad feels 😅😅
Nice!
Wouldn’t it be easier to stick the sd part onto that one half of the broken housing…and just plug it in? This way you don’t need to dismantle the sd card reader. And even if I do solder directly onto the sd contact…wouldn’t it make more sense to solder onto a random microsd to sd card adapter…those are cheaper and always comes with microsd card so I have a litter of those around. Again this is to save it from dismantling the sd card reader…which seems way more intrusive and destructive.
Edit: oh you said it doest work when you plug it in in the beginning…that’s probably because as you found out later on…there’s a card detect mechanism in the reader that the reader rely on to “see” the card. And it’s probably not triggering it with the broken half.
You could have taken one of those micro SD to SD adapters and swapped the guts.
That's a good shout! I didn't think of that 😬
thats a 'solid' idea
i have done the same "repair" but I used an old plastic card what comes with new sim cards. cut a slot, glue, in, worked.
Nice. 😊
“I never joke about my work 007!”
That's awesome man! You taught me something new! ( Stupid SD card)! 😂
Poor SD card was crushed you ran over it
thats dope af
Monkey island 2 back ground?!?! This guy knows quality
I was sure those wire were gonna short each other.
🤩❤️ Great video, maybe you can try solder it inside micro sd adapter card
For re use it freely like normal
@ 4.30 .... 'Mull Tim iter in Constant Nudity !'
😅
all you had to do was open a MicroSD to SD Memory Card Adapter and replace the guts with your sd card board. glue it in if you have to and it's saved.
Ayyyy, i really didn't know that the actual SD-cardy-bit was that small! Nice one!
They have to fit the guts into microSD cards somehow, after all :)
@@MayaPosch that's true, ofcourse! but if you got the space, why not use it, eh? must be cheaper i imagine. :D
@@devttyUSB0I've seen full sized SD cards which micro-SD cards soldered to full sized PCBs from factory.
@@devttyUSB0 I imagine that with the higher capacity cards you get a larger PCB inside, much like with SATA SSDs. Those are mostly empty inside for the
@@MayaPosch i have seen 2.5" SSDs and NVMe's with just a tiny pcb inside, so i guess it shouldnt be that surprising indeed. ;)
Honestly, I'd probably attempt to glue something with CA glue to the remainder of the card to let it insert into the reader without ripping it apart.
Oh man, Steve... Sometimes we just have to laugh at our own misfortune! You rolled over your SD card, and then in an attempt to make a video salvaging the contents for another video, your camera doesn't record audio in that video. Misery loves company, but you overcame and managed to save BOTH videos. Well done!
Clever
There is only one reason for wanting to recover an SD card this much: you took something apart and now you dont't know how to put it back :) I don't record videos for youtube, but I often think about putting a camera above my desk just to record the way I took something apart. The worst is when I have to order a part but don't want to put it back fully together until then, and as days go, the process of the disassembly starts to fade from my mind and I feel it.
Handsome champ 😊
Nice job good idee
Wow is that all that's in an SD card package nowadays? Nice.
could you use another SD card while connected to the first one?
I want that piece of sd card now :)
Just as an idea for a next time... All you needed was for that piece of SD card to fit inside the reader and to be able to take it out afterwards, right? Well, two pieces of thread (for example dental floss) around the front of the card, and a second SD card to push it in (or anything around the same thickness). And there you go, no soldering necessary, no breaking of the reader case needed.. And, in the end, you just pull the threads and take it out. Worried that the pins will be obstructed by the threads? Well, the pins are springed so most likely the threads will be moved to the sides by the device itself.
Steve what happened to the mario kart video ? upload it again, that's not fair!
I know its too late, but what if you glued or melted plastic to something on the end of the good half of the SD card, like a handle, and inserted it like normal? Then with the "handle" glued to the SD card, that would allow you to remove it?
Then you would not have to open a reader up? Just curious.
time to buy a sd card spider board?
Nice
Having data only on SD card (whatever drive) is like going out with 1 shoe.
Nice botch, love it
Heyyyy that sd card is still good and it's 128 gigs
You shouldake a case
A 3d printer woulbe handy....
With enameled wire - do you need to use heat to remove the enamel from the end or do you just count on the "tip" of it being inside the solder bubble to provide conductivity
You have the clickiest mouse I've ever heard 😂
Ah. Monkey Island 2, tis a good games
I'm forever doing things like this! The amount of times I've had to fix my 2012 laptop because I've buggered something up you wouldn't believe. Still works, even if it ain't pretty So I was thinking all the way though this, wouldn't it have been easier to take apart another SD card, remove that chip/board, put this one in and then glue it back together? Or did you do what I do when I fix a toy, think, "That'll make a good video!" and just do it the hardest way possible for fun? 😉😁 Regardless, I always enjoy your fixes, Jo matter how you get there!
What are you using for the bodge wire?
You'll never see a better bit of bodging in your life.
I would have probably used another SDcard as a template, cut out of card board or some plastic waste and glued the pcb on.
3D printed shell for this sd card surely exist for sale somewhere?
Cardboard+ glue = fix
I would put it into another shell if you can find one it fits and save the card
What wires did you use? I have a load of wire like that but they have a stubborn enamel coating. Also these adapters tend to have failed write protection mechanisms where they think everything is locked. You can fix that by bridging the two small pins on the end
Having watched so many of your videos where enameled wire came into play, when my wife's toothbrush charger died recently I had actually thrown it into the bin, before I had second thoughts and realised there was a transformer in there full of the stuff. From what I can see, you're not stripping the end prior to soldering it. Is that right? The heat is sufficient to remove it from the soldered region?
time to get a 3d-printer! :)
Dammit stop breaking $h!+ Steve! 🤣
i would have ripped about a microsd to sd cheap adapter instead. if you coat the tips your transformer (varnished) wire in flux and tap with a solder iron for a few seconds they will solder easier
MacGyver would be proud !
Oh damn💀😳
😂 That is such a low-rent solution you wouldn’t be allowed to even attempt it in Vancouver. That said, a success is a success no matter how you accomplish it.
Hey Steve, What multi usb port is that you have please?
It might be an Anker hub. I have a hub that's the same shape and also has LEDs that show which ports are in use.
