Hi! I sent a message on your website "contact us" page about my failed hard drive earlier today. Your KZbin channel is the reason I decided to go with your company, hopefully you (the guy in the videos) is the person who will be servicing the drive. You seem to have some serious skills. Hope to hear back soon!

A few months ago I needed to repair my Commodore 64 (computer designed in 1982, but this unit is from 1985). The computer works fine, but the cartridge port was dead. With my crappy equipment (and using garbage flux) desoldering it sucked and I damaged a trace. It was lifted, but still attached to the via. So when I put the new connector in, I'm like......I know where it goes and I could bodge it......or I could just solder the trace to that particular pin. I was shocked when it actually worked. lol I hate the desoldering part (especially with my crappy equipment), but I get what you mean when you say soldering is therapeutic. Putting the new connector in was a huge stress relief. And the computer is working great again. It would be interesting to take it back in time and say hey look at this C64 with 16GB storage (I have a cartridge that give it USB support). The flash drive I use has hundreds of old disk images on it.

thats awesome, Ashley

Hi Erkin, every times your videos teach lesson for your students. So this is not just a channel, its also a class for peoples who are like to learn data recovery. Thank you :) And how you find fash drive donors for your collection?

I love micro soldering, I'm not quite yet making stuff at the scale you are. What stops shorting between the copper jumper wires that you connected the controller ic with?

[@NETBotic]

the wire has an enamel coating

[@dfgaJK]

@@continuouswaveform @Jonn How does it solder if it has a layer of enamel?

[@dfgaJK]

@@continuouswaveform I have never had the soldering iron successfully burn off the enamel, is it a specific type of enamel or a special thin enamel? What temperature does it burn off?

[@dfgaJK]

@@continuouswaveform I guess I've never used small enough enamel wire. If I need small stuff I usually go with plain copper to avoid sanding. But if I don't need to sand it then I'll try that in the future. thanks.

[@stefanlechner]

Very good work....amazing. Where did you learn all that stuff?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

thanks. Data recovery is not something you can really study for, but you pick up as you go. Individual tools may have training from developers, but soldering is really best learned by practice. I have been doing this for many years now.

[@stefanlechner]

@@hddrecoveryservices thx for the answer. Yes soldering is just learning by doing and many years of training. I do soldering many years too. But this knowledge about this software...puhhh...that must be a long way to be there where you are. Chapeau! It seems that pc3000 is very extensive, you have to know what you do when you use it.

[@hddrecoveryservices]

One step at a time 🙂

Hello Erkin, can a emmc/mtd flash (or anything that detected as /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mtdblk0) be mounted to a host computer so the user can read/write to it directly as if it's a sdcard? I'm experimenting with old android phones and android based set top boxes, I want to change the OS inside the chip but also be able to directly read/write to the internal storage like when we swap ssd/hdd from a laptop to another laptop.. and when i messed up the bootloader i can just "sudo dd if=uboot.img of=/dev/sdX" Is this possible?

[@hddrecoveryservices]

With an adapter to SD - sure. But android OS is not gonna be recognized by windows, so it would need to be formatted. Some laptops come with eMMC onboard as storage

[@putraadriansyah8082]

@@hddrecoveryservices I'm not using Windows in my host computer. I run Ubuntu 20.04 and i don't have windows computer at all. so filesystem is not really a problem.. The problem is, how can I access the storage directly as block device (the device's kernel does treat it as block device)
