Can I Retrieve the DATA from this Sony Digital Voice Recorder?

[@Mymatevince]

Spoiler Saver This one was painful as it didn't AND still doesn't make any sense to me. Hopefully once the comments come in, the mystery will be all cleared up and maybe I can do a revisit 👍👍

[@Audit-The-Auditors-UK]

Heat the whole board up and see what happens.

[@dominikg4334]

What about giving it 3 volts where you think it should have the power and take data down that way .

[@DIYRepairHour]

It would be faster to move 3 chips to a new board. Even if that takes you 2-3 hours, its still much faster than what you are doing now. Just familiarise yourself with the BGA memory chip, and use minimum viable heat for minimum viable time on it. You will need to reball it.

[@DIYRepairHour]

Oh, if you are scared about the BGA memory chip - don't be. Just unsolder the main chip first like you'd normally do and then use heat from the underneath the PCB, that way solder balls melt before the chip gets too hot. Then mount these chips in reverse order.

[@DIYRepairHour]

@@GamingForLifeGF IIRC he already did some reballing in the past and have some things, but of course I might got confused with someone else...

[@MayaPosch]

Generally NAND Flash like in this dictaphone will be formatted with a filesystem, much like on a desktop system. It's similar to how SD cards are supported, meaning that the folder structure and meta data is stored on the Flash device. This would mean that swapping the Flash chips between both devices would theoretically work, but NAND Flash has the annoying tendency to rapidly lose its stored charges (and thus data) when heated up. I'm not sure there's a safe way to do this, and it might be easier to dead-bug wire the target NAND Flash IC up to the working board without desoldering the former. Depending on the NAND Flash interface and file system used, it might even be possible to wire it up to just about any 3.3V MCU for reading out.

[@ilya_mzp]

Heat definitely shortens the retention time of the flash memory, but not too much (from years, to days at 200°C). You don't want to heat it for long, but it's usually less than a minute of high temperature.

[@jessicav2031]

Wiring each data line and power from the bad board to the good board is a great idea (removing all related components from the bad board). I have no doubt that would be successful, seems the only way it wouldn't is if the flash itself is bad or it has a cracked solder ball which is not fixed by pressing on it. Quite the pain in the butt though! One would have to desolder the good chip and trace out every important net to find a good place to attach to. Sheesh. Maybe if the recording is VERY important 😄 Too bad we never have gerber or design files for stuff like this. Doing this kind of thing with the original design files brings it more into the realm of "stuff we do all the time when debugging a new design".

[@jessicav2031]

@@ilya_mzp This is incorrect, especially for modern MLC flash. There are many papers on this subject from the field of forensics. I suggest checking out "Improving the reliability of chip-off forensic analysis of NAND flash memory devices" (DOI 10.1016/j.diin.2017.01.011), which showed severe bit error rates with a desoldering temperature of 250c. The case with this recorder may even be worse because the storage strategy used by the MCU is likely to be much more naive than an SSD controller. Given that such work would not even be attempted unless the recording was very important, Maya's suggestion is much safer than removing the chip.

[@kriswillems5661]

Is there a possibility this is a NOR flash?

[@MayaPosch]

@@kriswillems5661 Highly unlikely. NOR Flash is very expensive per bit, to the point where it's competing more with MRAM than with NAND Flash. NOR Flash also has similar issues with data retention at high temperatures, due to it using the same fundamental storage method.

[@davesdigitaldomain]

Vince, Most electronic components have a power management chip or current/voltage sensing circuitry. The reason why the transistor at 10:43 was switching off is because the aforementioned circuitry is detecting an overload somewhere and thereby switching off the device this is to protect the device from further damage.

[@beyondblender]

@@Mymatevince No worries at all, Vince! You do what you gotta do 😊💪

[@soggytoast111]

Remove NAND and try to recover the data directly. It's likely a standard file system on the NAND so if you just get a raw dump then data recovery software might be able to find the sound files. I highly doubt there is any encryption of data for something this old. If you are going to swap, just the NAND should work, you shouldn't have to swap the CPU along with it (that might be the fault anyway). You can even dump the NAND without swapping at all if you wire up the chip itself. There's only like 4-5 points you need to power and read the chip.

[@BuyitFixit]

Great effort Vince! I've done the 5am thing in the past too!😂😂😂 I'd think any user data would just be stored in the flash chip including the file indexes. I don't think the unit would store that in the microcontroller, so if the flash isn't corrupt or at fault, just swapping that might work...

[@beyondblender]

I was thinking the same 😉

Looking at 8:45, you can see some corrosion on the mini USB and some capacitors, possibly resistors, nearby. I would start from them. Ceramic capacitors have a tendency to short, maybe that's the reasons that voltage is missing.

[@bruce-le-smith]

I had one of these, slightly older in silver ICD-P620, loved it before I switched to using a smart device. Was glad I got all my recordings off it before something like this happened.

[@colinfielder6695]

Glad to see your fingers better Vince.

[@HavingFunRepairs]

Yes I absolutely would swap the writeable memory first and test then the main "confuser" and test again. However that may be poor advice. Sometimes an IC is looking for a trigger to generate a voltage. Such as what is produced with the on off switch. In my head I think the triggered output could remain in a constant state until something external produces the exact trigger it's looking for on its input pin to change state. It is possible by swapping components you actually caused the trigger that changed the state of the I/O. For myself, I believe the problem is most likely with the main IC.

[@Mymatevince]

I get that, cheers Shawn. I suppose some pins may have latched on (or off) with my replacing of the chips which led to the strange readings. So confusing! Thanks for watching 😎👍

[@HavingFunRepairs]

@@Mymatevince it's only a guess. With as many times that power was removed that should have been enough to normalize/reset I/O states.

[@HavingFunRepairs]

My other wild guess is you have a bad B- line and something is storing a voltage and not dissipating it.

I would definitely try changing the memory chip first. Most probably it works like a computer's SSD drive and stores the file system on itself. Another suggestion I second is to take out the memory chip and then insert it into an external reader. This way you have to desolder/solder the chip only once.

The ARM chip is the processor. It stores no data regards the memory. Simply swapping the memory chip would work. However there's a risk to this of losing all data (part and parcel of working with with memory) 9 Times out of 10 it's successful.

Those are the flash storage chips. It's pretty common to have multiple options on a board for different chip sizes. You can even see the solder points for the larger chip around the smaller one. That way they can use whatever supply they have.

Mine, despite malfunction, was able to transfer recordings to the computer, and I think I remember installing the Sony application that came with it in order to do that. On the computer, It had it's own little file menu for copying to hard drive along with play buttons and stuff. The malfunction was fixed with a simple "Yes" to the format screen accessed by the unit's menu, of course that wiped all the recordings off the unit. I simply put them back in from the computer back up.

Go for it, there’s nothing to lose in trying 😊

[@ralphj4012]

Good attempt, 5am is above and one-step beyond. Pure guesswork on my part, but looks to be power related (rather than flash etc). The component at 33:44 is a MM3404 regulator and chip enable seems to be missing, though of course this can be due to multiple other components. I'm sure you don't want to hear that a service manual is available (though you may need to brush up on your rocket science).

[@GadgetUK164]

It's a shame you couldnt fit this one! I think power management issue somewhere! The flash chip probably holds all info about the files stored on it. There probably isn't a relationship regards data structure and data contained on the ARM chip, but there may be encryption that is specific to the ARM chip fitted?!? Worth a shot to swap the NAND flash over!

[@zzmike]

I was certainly going to ask you (before your coda comments) whether it might be worth trying to swap the memory (or both) large chips. I think that WOULD be interesting (in terms of how difficult, and also whether it is actually feasible that data can be recovered). And I suppose if one researched enough about the storage chip, it might be possible to jury rig circuitry to force it to "disgorge" its data content. I have to say, I find your "failure" videos just as interesting to watch as the success ones, and I think you might still be able to crack this one.

inject 2.8v on the joint where you measure lower voltage on the dead board. Something on the board causing it to drop on the board. Unfortunately what I believe there is a partial short inside ARM microcontroller. If I were you I would replace that chip and give it a try.

[@coolissimo69]

Vince, I have no doubt on your skills, however my first thought was no way he fixes it. Was a nice try, looking forward to see if you swap the chip. Those variations of Voltage, maybe is due to a capacitor . You took something off the capacitor drains, off etc.

[@Dtr146]

Here's a crazy idea. If you really want to recover the data. Transfer the nan flash to the working one. Make sure any flash controllers are transferred as well that way the data can be recovered

[@EgoChip]

If you ever buy one of these, always get one with an SD card so at the very least, if it breaks down, you can still access your recordings.

[@jw8444]

@My Mate Vince Do the board revision differ? The nand chips have a different size.

[@Jdbye]

I think you should switch out the flash chip. That's one of the first things I would have tried since that's the only part that's important. The file info is probably stored on the flash, and it's probably just using regular files on a FAT16 or FAT32 file system. No sense in reinventing the wheel after all. Switching out the microcontroller shouldn't be necessary.

[@DannyWilliamH]

As a fellow electronics tinkerer/repair/rework person I can only say that they're fn weird, haha. They are just weird. Transistors deal with doped metals and sometimes billions of gates where anything from heat to a small electric charge to bumping them can make them go from behaving one way to another. Some components want EXACTLY 3.3v and not a bit more and others have tolerances of over a volt. Some are fragile like glass, others can be hit with a hammer and still work. Gremlins, Vince. Fn gremlins.

I had a similar one (ICD-PX720) and a couple of things worth noting: First, it saved in a proprietary format. Second, the software that decoded that proprietary format ceased to be supported by Sony (trying to install it, it called home and the mothership said NOPE).It must have a built-in self destruct and will refuse to work after a certain date. The device suffered the same fate. It said ACCESS and refused to ever work right again. It's replacement saves in .mp3 format like the other one should have from the start. I think trying to power it by the mini usb port (it was an option) may have led to its demise.

[@kriswillems5661]

You can look up the datasheet of the ARM processor to check if this controller has internal flash. If not it's probably sufficient to swap the flash. But is the processor actually running? Does it have a clock? Is something happening on the address bus? You have a scope, but I don't know if it's good enough to check these things.

I can only put your voltage changing scenario down to heat either affecting a thermal fault on the circuit or a component or components have failed due to heat from soldering... other than that defo Gremlins. As mentioned by others putting the NAND flash onto the other working board (they are fairly resilient to heat in the short term) just to get the data off it. I can't believe you stayed up until 5.00am what's wrong with you?(Actually I can believe it - I've done it more times than I would care to mention 😀). Makes for an interesting video, even though things don't work out. Enjoyed watching. Edit: Also as mentioned below: - I would think that providing the NAND flash doesn't get destroyed, the contents will be read from it by the other device. The flash should be thought of as a non-volatile memory store with similar properties to an SSD, the data is stored and registered on the device and will tell the CPU what is on it when the firmware instructs the CPU to read it. It will have a directory pointing to the start address of each string of data to be read. A Table of Contents (if you will). That is - a file system.

In my experience memory chips can be quite volatile. Also you'd need to check if their is any encryption or security linked to the main chip and the memory.
