HDD GURU FORUMS

Kingston 4 GB monolith SD card .
This SD card have plugged into a printer by customer. And cannot see data after than.
I don't have any tools for monolith.


I plugged it my computer. It showing 3.6 gb capacity after bery long wait. But full bad sector . Tried with hex editor and some another softwares.
Is the any solution or chip died?

have you tried taking a full disk image with DMDE? Full disk NOT partition. after that run r-studio or getdataback on the image.

sounds like either the drive filled up leaving no room for any bad block management, firmware is buggy or nand is degrading.

Kingston... the Seagate of flash memory!

I have checked with hex editor. Cannot read any sector. Also checked with R studio and MRT DE same full bad. My guess It would image full bad sector

ok, well either the controller is outputting bad values, not working correctly and the data on the NAND is ok

OR

NAND data is corrupt

either way reading NAND directly would tell you. Short of decapping to test further, such as the discreets, I don't think there is much else you could do. Not sure playing with voltage would help you here.

Is there a way to read data from pins (at bottom 12 +12) without a proper recovery tool. I never had an experience like this before. I think I would bring back this card. But I want to learn if there is a way.

I wish . I don't think customer accept intentional shipping price plus your cost. But I wish. ))
