Usb Drive Head Snapped Off

[wedd]

Greetings Everyone

I have a USB stick with a broken head, it seems the padding is gone. Is there any way to replace the padding or to repair this usb stick?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank You

I think someone got a little carried away with the heat gun

Did you use a blow torch to solder?

no my friend tried to repair it, he used a butane solder

is this usb stick still repairable?

I think your only hope is if someone (not DIY) could read the nand chip(s) on the other side. Post a pic of the other side.

that been done with a heat gun as you can see on the main ic chip
and for sure not a butane solder gun


easy way is just buy another usb head there are some on ebay
solder it back on and your good to go
