VFBGA63 chip on memory stick with AU6983

March 7th, 2017, 12:37

Hello all,

I've just received in a memory stick using a VFBGA63 chip (NQ280 Micron). I don't think this is eMMC as there is a pretty standard AU processor on the memory stick. I've not seen this type of chip in, and do not have any adapters to try and take a read out. Does anyone?

John

Don't have an adaptor, but I believe this is the pinout...

Cheers. Given it's unlikely to ever see on of these chips in again the cost associated with adapter is probably not worthwhile for a one off job. Thanks though for pointing it out and the PDF of specifications.

The customer does have a copy of the data on a failed HDD too. It's Samsung M9 series with heads stuck to the platter. If I have the choice of wiring in to the pins of the BGA or replacing the heads on the HDD... well I think we all know the what we would choose.

I'll make a check with one or two others to see if they hold the adapter in stock.

Thanks,
John
