USB stick flashes 8 times, then nothing

November 14th, 2007, 9:27

I have a USB stick in for recovery.

When plugging into a USB port, it flashes 8 times and then - nothing.

All solder points have been checked, the main ones resoldered - to no avail.

Any ideas anyone??


Thanks

If so most likely you will be able to recover data with restorer2000 pro.


There's not much point in trying recovery software if it's a hardware issue.

Thanks

Hi,
You will have to desolder the nand chip(s), and read it out externaly.
Then you of course need a Nand reader and software.
But it's possible to recover it.

Hi Boose
Can you please specify any NAND chip reader and procedure / software for the same? How will be output ?
Thanks in advance

I made one for myself...

There are some programmers like Xeltek that can read these memories, but I didn't have much success withit till died.
