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

Duncan

Go to device manager and check if the drive is there.
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.

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.
