Hi guys,

Any experience with Sandisk SD8SN8U-256-1006 ?

This SSD was in HP Laptop, laptop stop booting, drive not recognized without reason, no water, no drop.
Those aren't supported by ACE
I can imagine debug is what I circle in RED. I've tried to mount with external case, not recognized at all.

Thanks
Sam

Yesterday i do this model with success. There was some problem with contact on some elements. Try LITTLE heat or frozen.

If you can provide a better photo, I can show you the voltage test points. IIRC there is a high-side MOSFET load switch which supplies power to the PCB via the DEV SLEEP pin. This is a common problem, at least on other SanDisk/Apple SSDs.

I have same problem on Asus Zenbook.
I connect drive to my pc3000 and drive was fully identified under DE.

After two weeks I was able to get data back, not 100%, but customer was satisfied with results.

From my observations, there is some problem in FW.

Hopefully I have identified the correct pin on each capacitor. If not, then measure the voltage at the other pin, or the voltage across the capacitor, or at the inductor.

Thank you, that's really helpfull.

I got power accross capacitor
v1 =1.356
v2 =1.052
v3 =2.707
v4 =1.805
Vout=3.257

That doesn't look bad.

I measure 0.0 on the brown inductor, I've put a red cross where I measure it. I don't know how to measure the black inductor.

Thanks
Sam

Those voltages seem reasonable, although you would need to compare them with a working SSD to be sure.

Thank you all.

Using freeze spray and heat gun, I get ID now but I wonder if it's worth, Map is 98% yellow others are red and it's going to take forever.

I've changed settings following advice I received.

put also 3000 to UDMA settings instead 500
