Hi all,
According to your experience, it's possible recovery data from a flash memory after going through the washer? The chip is damaged? I could try with PC3000 flash

Damaged how? The chip itself is cracked? The chip's legs are broken?

Posting a picture may help a lot.

the NAND chips of many Flash devices are coated in a sort of silicone to allow some degree of water resistance. Also, the water should not directly damage the NAND only potentially oxidise the connections.

Data should be recoverable, though this may only possible with a professional recovery service.
