Micro SD memory cards, just like any other type memory cards, fail all the time. In our case we have a 32GB Sandisk micro SD card that is no longer recognized by any type of device. If your card stopped working, first thing you might want to try is to download a demo version of R-Studio:
PC: www.r-studio.co...
Mac: www.r-tt.com/?J...
This software will be able quickly determine if the problem is related to corrupt file system. However, it will not be able to help if the problem is more serious like failed controller or degraded memory component.
For these serious problems there is only one way to gain access to the data, and that is by direct tapping into the NAND chip inside. This data recovery procedure allows us to bypass everything else that is embedded inside of the micro SD memory card and go directly to the source of the memory. But first the circuitry needs to be exposed. For that we use 800 grit sandpaper and water. By slowly and carefully removing the acrylic mask on the back of card we get access to the test points necessary for communication and extraction of data from the NAND component.
Once the soldering part of the procedure is done, we move onto the next step, which is data extraction by selecting an appropriate configuration.
This micro SD card’s file system was badly damaged, but we managed to successfully recover photos that the client wanted. This procedure is a lot more time consuming than a regular SD card, which usually has removable memory. Besides soldering work, this procedure also requires a pinout schematic for the test points as they are not standard. Many different manufacturers and even model might have completely different layouts for the design, and that makes it very difficult simply because pinouts are proprietary. Manufacturing companies do not release these pinouts to data recovery companies.
If you lost your data on micro SD card, and it is important enough to get expert help feel free to contact us here: www.hddrecovery...

Erkin is amazing. He is saving you lots of money by telling everyone to use R-studio or any other data recovery software if your computer can detect the micro SD card. I followed his advice and used the software since my laptop was able to show the micro SD card when mounted and it recovered everything in about 30 minutes. All my precious memories in my photos are safe and I am making backups and buying cloud storage for extra insurance.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

That's amazing!

For those asking, the device he's using is just a nand flash reader/programmer with a usb interface. They are typically marketed with sockets for flash ICs to be directly plugged into, but if you dig around the interwebs enough it is possible to find one like his with the individual signals exposed, or you can buy one of the socket ones and remove the sockets. It acts as the controller, exposing CE, RB, RE, CLE, ALE, WP, WE, and 8-bit parallel data pins to be connected to the flash memory chip of your choosing. Basically it's a usb flash drive minus the memory chip itself.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

very accurate. Basically it is a c controller simulator

[@starhopper457]

[@CodeAsm]

@@starhopper457 Me too, so I googled and most repair companies ask you to register (and pay) for access to the pinouts. apperently the pinout differ from board to board and thes repair compaies took all the time and research to X-ray and test to verify the pinout. maybe someone leaked it or somewhere on Baidu... but there are so many diferent pcb's (its basicly a tiny pcb), your change on finding your exact model leaked I gues is small. maybe you can buy it, but a guy like @HDD Recovery Services could afford a memberhip to get direct access to these type of schematic pinouts with knowing their monthly or yearly subscribtion to pay itself back by repairing enough items. "Microsd pinout" did show some... My gues also is, you could risk using a voltmeter in diode mode and knowing some basic electronics to figure out the data lines and controll lines. But I have no idea how to determine wich data line is 0 and up. maybe using a logic analyzer aswell... (I used this method on a unmarket eeprom, did figure it out, but it has a "common" layout once you find some defaults) Microsd is another story tho. This level requires a shop like HDD recovery or alott of experience by oneself first.

[@twistdshade]

If I was doing this for a living, I would probably have some type of chemical solution to dissolve the black plastic casing of the SD card to expose the copper circuitry on the back. I would then have some kind of solderless contact-based device that the card would slide into, or placed onto the card, in order to make the proper contacts to the circuitry of the SD card. This would eliminate all risk of physically damaging the card from sanding or soldering.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

twistdshade that is a great plan, we are working on adapters for them right now actually. I don't want to mess with chemicals to be honest. Laser is another way to remove the acrylic but in all the time I spent doing this I have never damaged anything with sandpaper. But push to connect adapter would definitely be great!

[@twistdshade]

dissolving the back with chemicals would take less man-hours than carefully sanding it down. It wouldn't take much of the chemical either since the micro SD cards are so small. Anyways the reduced man hours would mean you could charge less money for the service too. I'm not really looking to recover any data. The video just came up, and it was pretty interesting. Really great idea for promoting your business. Thanks for posting this, and thanks for the reply.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

these chemicals would also be very toxic, and hard to filter fumes that they create. That would be my main concern. Laser would be best option to cut time, and minimize risk, and not create health hazards.

My hat off for the soldering technique. I wish I had ever been that good. However have you considered just making a mask with perhaps silver contacts that you can just press or lightly clamp over the spots you are soldering the wires to? It only needs to work for the time it takes to recover the data. Seems a lot less risky that soldering. Perhaps solder tiny silver disks on wires, position them over the same spots you soldered too, and then clamp it. Just an idea.

I don't know if my damaged sd card got lost in the mail, or if I should believe the postman's 'well it could be still in customs". I sent that mail out since December 3, 2016. Now honestly I was kinda busy with the whole holiday business so I couldn't get to this stuff in time and that's why I am telling you about it now. I went to the post office a few weeks ago and the postman says I should've gotten it certified and sent it priority or express mail. Last I checked, on Dec 3 when I first mailed it out, and I said "I need this shipped as soon as possible" he CLEARLY told me "just send regular mail, because it will have to go through canadian customs and will get there slowly anyway and won't be worth the extra postage fees."NOW after I told him I haven't heard anything back from you guys he says: "welp, if you had chosen the other mail options, you could at least track it". Idiot told me to use regular mail, so I did!! Ugh! Did you guys receive, within the last month, a dead micro SD card? It was a PNY brand, 16GB, last name...starts with M...e.....lol I'm not saying the rest for obvious reasons, but curiosity and frustration is burning the crap outta me. 3 things that could have happened: 1. Mail is still in customs...? For this long? 2. You guys took my mail, dead sd card, either failed or succeeded in retrieving my information >:/ 3.My mail is in fricken sub-space somewhere so no one can access it What makes me think #3 is feasible is because even if someone found and opened my mail, there would just be a dead sd card which they couldn't access through ANY means except what you had shown with your own skills in this video. I doubt there are a lot of scammers with this type of ability, and I haven't been hacked yet...maybe they tried to access the card, failed, and just threw it in the garbage. But the pdf you emailed me was printed out on there, so my real name and phone number and address are on it...but I haven't received any weird spam mail in the past 2 months or ANY phone calls from you guys. Where did my crap micro sd card go? Who has it?!?! Please respond to this comment.This is a bit weird... No, I couldn't have gotten the address wrong. I specifically written the proper heading, right from the print out of the pdf that you guys emailed to me earlier, and I remember getting a good spot by the mall where the post office was and using a smooth black gel ink pen to write it. I even have the receipts of the date and time when I got the stamps to mail it...wait a minute...the postman could have screwed it up also...he did make a mistake when I was making a money order one time. Ah crap, where the hell did that mail go? Worst part is, about 8-12 GB's of data but it's only a few kb's or a few mb's of documents data that I really needed. Yes, it was that important, and yes it was worth a large amount of money to obtain. Some people might not understand why or how unless it happens to them. "well why didn't you back it up anywhere else?" Ohhhh hohoho, you have no idea. I did, on onedrive, drop box, pc, but they were outdated versions of the documents I needed. The latest, most recent and most important updated versions of those documents were on the sd card. Funny thing, I had the sd card on my blackberry phone, and I was LITERALLY in the process doing an entire data back up when the sd card malfunctioned so EVERYTHING got saved onto my new pc EXCEPT what was on the sd card. It must've been either been a few minutes or a few hours within that time frame that the sd card went screwy for no reason on the same day I went to back it all up to the most recent versions, so THAT's how close I was to almost making it...btw, my comment seems very calm. I was BEYOND furious 2 months ago. Nothing but vulgarity and laptop punching would have been my response but I was able to find HALF of my stuff from the older laptop which calmed me down significantly...but the most important god damned files is still freakin missing, excuse me...everyone reminds you to back up your data. No one expects those back up devices to just crap out at random. It's like you have to save your recent files to every device and cloud storage available every time you hit the damn save button, because you never know when one of those devices will just shut down.

i understand the controller on this sd was broken... where did you get the pinout of the PCB from? is it a standard pinout they all use?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

it is the standard pinout for Sandisk 8bit layout.

5:48 you are a god Bc it still worked after that large blob. Seriously, that thing should've melted. Did you use 100% lead solder?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

with good flux and good solder, it is easy to clean up the blobs like this. I use this flux amzn.to/2mXJd1b and 60/40 solder by same guys who make it here in Ontario amzn.to/2mtyC0a

[@vinylmodsmanitoba]

10/10 shakiest camera ever, but you did a good job with the MicroSD. You should consider actually explaining the entire process of recovering the data instead of glossing over the process. Your not going to lose business by showing people this, in fact it will just put emphasis on how going to you is the better option because people are lazy and would rather someone knowledgeable do it for them.

[@michaelparker2449]

I've got a card from about 8 years ago with a video I really want back but every data recovery tool failed so will give this a try, but my hands have the finesse of a potato so I'll have to cut back on the coffee before doing any fine soldering.

[@Crimoni]

Very useful tips. I will certainly try this next time I have to solder.

[@themachinesmith411]

mstrfool I have no way to copy your text so replying to come back to it later... good info!

[@phaedra9698]

Why "Manufacturing companies do NOT release these pinouts to data recovery companies."? Since this pinout is determined recovery companies, their competitors could easily determine it too. Does the pinout really reveal any trade secret? Why not be a good part of the community? Do the manufacturers also have significant data recovery services?

[@jasongrady8590]

[@BillAnt]

That is correct sir! ;D

[@ToeCutter454]

need to look up the "monolith" or "chip-off" data recovery, you'd have to have data sheets on the pin-outs for various cards as i'm sure they change with each variation and manufacturer, though you should be able to find all that on google or through the manufacturers websites. if it was put into digital format and is on a computer hooked to the internet... it can be found...

[@38fade]

This great I know to sand the card ,but no explanation as to what I am soldering!

[@hddrecoveryservices]

you would need to know the pinout for the soldering (which contacts go where), but we do not reveal them unfortunately

[@38fade]

Fair enough, still a great video :)
