Hello,

any suggestion to remove coating for chip off

There's no way to do it. Better to find pinout on the controller's side.

Thank you Melvin
Controler is Chipsbank CBM2099E

Find a pinout online or discover it by yourself. Then remove the controller and read the memory. But CBMs are not easy to recover.

Thank you Melvin

will post results

do you have a photo of the other side?

Picture of other side

Those are in Flash-extractor's database if you have it.

I had a similar device, but it had ITE5019, which has obviously different pinout, judging by the pcb traces, so i can't help with this one
