Always interesting. Did not know some memory chips are glued as well as the solder connections. Never tire of seeing the solder balls magically appear.
Hi Erkin one more nice job. The companies producing products which they want it not to be repaired. I can understand this up to a point but not in this sector. The products you repair contains data and requires intervension to get the data and most of the time it requires you to swap, change soldier, desolder, reball etc which is required so the data can be rescued. So i think the data storage companies has to be a bit more helpful for the customers so their data can be recovered easily. But most of the time in your videos you spend more time on the little tricks like glue or other type of enhancements so you can do your job by recovering your data. I dont have that patience anymore i am started to be too old for this things anyway. WHile you reballed the memory chips just tought on the 1 st time i reballed a chip with a stencil and it was a wonder that times . Any way just wanted to comment and say hi to you and appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos sharing you expensively learned knowledge with other people for free. kindest regards from Istanbul
Nice one! What a mess that glue made... I don't remember your past videos having music. I usually watch videos in 1.5X and the musics always sound funny :D
On that model SSD, you can swap NANDs and ROM to swap board, don't need to swap controller. Much faster way to fix physical/liquid damage than repair pads and cleaning underfill and what not. Nice vid tho.
Hi Erkin. Another good job as usual, thank you! Which brand is the dual chip holder that you are using? Seems to be the answer to a lot of prayers. 🙂 Keep it up, can't wait for the next one!
What temp and airflow do you use to slice off the sticker? And all parts in general like when putting those tiny resistors back on at 6:25...? And melting solder balls?
Man this one was hard to watch with all the pads ripped up. Is there a way to use an IR bed to bring the board to a level temp and then apply heat? Also that glue is nasty!
I have a Linux flash based computer board for a vending machine. These devices are now getting bad flash problems, bad blocks causing crashes and inability to update settings due to log files being in bad blocks. Sometimes doing a full software reload which does an erase and marks blocks bad works for a short time but the flash is degraded. I have the tools to remove the flash from the board physically, and the equipment to read it out directly with a NAND/EPROM reader but being able to deploy a ‘fresh’ image onto it (i.e have it mounted as a device and write data to it) I don’t have. Is that something that should be able to be done by a recovery specialist? I’ve I supply chips and image and they would be able to work with it somehow ?
Data is encrypted on this Samsung SSD, as you can see no need for MCU swap. Firmware microcode is kept inside of NANDs most of the time. Some devices are serialized and won't work without the original controller
No learning when you cut important parts, like how did you clean extra black glue, align chips and waiting time. Feels like a fake show that just amusing yo waach but no new things for guys who really looking for tips
