Lexar 32GB Damaged Controller Chip

@northwind,
Yes, we did explain that, we spoke with him on the phone. The tech that called him explained that the concern was that some of the actual contacts came off of the board with the controller chip, meaning a new one cannot be attached to that board.

This SM controller should not be so difficult to work with, regarding recovery from the NAND memory, so I am surprised at this...

Well,not everyone specializes in NAND Recovery, since the research is very time consuming and clients often are not willing to pay the prices associated with the recovery.


@Dizidago357, we can assit with the recovery, we are located in Florida. Also Pcimage and Hddguy can assist you as well.

I did a SM3253L 4 gig lexar a while ago. They are doable.

Well, OnTrack was able to recover most of the data. Out of 19GB on the drive, only 3GB were partially recovered - the rest was 100% fine. Cost a pretty penny, but the customer had to have it, so what can you do? Least all is solved on this one.

Thanks all for the input!
