Hi, I have a sdhc Lexar card not recognized by operative system. Card can't be formatted in windows/Linux or in an digital camera.
WinHex detects it as 2,0KB device but crashes if I try open it or clone it. Linux detects it as 2KB:


Is not possible mount it or dd it.
As it's a monolithic card, I can't read chip with pc-3000 flash

Do you have experience with this kind of cards? Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance

"As it's a monolithic card, I can't read chip with pc-3000 flash"

Do you have the Soft Center tool with the SD adaptor?

Sometimes you can access these monolithic cards using Image Explorer with the "Adaptor_SD.dll" plugin and make an image.

Not often I must admit, but in 20-30% of cases it works

Hi pcimage,

I don't have this tool neither the adapter. Have you tested if this adapter works correctly with sdhc cards?

The adapter is xD/SD but SD and SDHC cards are differents.

Show the photo of card. If it is monolith, special connection to card will be needed.

This is the card, photo isn't very good but I have only this one. What special connection is needed if pinout is unknown?

I can't see anything on this photo. Show sharp photo and good resolution, something like that:

arvika, thanks for your help but I have already returned the card

Looks like my case from here:
http://flash-extractor.com/forum_old/vi ... php?t=4937

Pin-out is known..

You have pin out for this? Did you recover such case before?

i got many cases like this, and 99% of them are dead-end with me here
since flashes DR is not really my priority concern here

good luck with this hddguy

Vlad. might help on this.

Thanks, but I dont need one recovered, I was wondering if pinout was available. I have many pinouts but not this specific one.

if am not mistaken here hddguy, i guess (not sure) once i asked Vlad. and he told me SOME people sell those pinouts - not sure
it may or may not.
