I have the pinout in my database. I wouldn't count on someone sharing the pinout for free or even for a fee. Two option: find the pinout yourself or outsource it.

Hello, I am not active in that business myself, but I gave my SD Card while travelling in Vietnam to an office to do it for me. Sadly they couldnt find out the pinout, so I was hoping to get help here :). Do you know for how much I could get the pinout for?

They are generally considered commercially sensitive information, you're more likely to get someone to recover the card for far less than they will sell you the pinout which may have taken them considerable time to discover.

Has anyone bought one of @Bolo's adaptors? I always wonder about the economics of buying an adaptor that may only have a one-time use.

I tried to get the cheaper version of the sandisk 3x7 from apexlabs but had problems due to sanctions. I've resisted the urge to buy the multi stuff due to costs, I think its going to boil down to case volume. Where manufacturers use the same pattern across cards, or for a considerable time (like sandisk) I can see it being very viable. It takes (me) 20-30 mins to solder a card up by hand I figure ROI in around 12 cases. They also reduce the human error factor not to be over looked, it's no fun troubleshooting a bad connection at that scale, you're also not risking heat damage to the chip or huffing flux fumes either.

Perhaps you should factor in the cost of pinout discovery, assuming that you don't do this in your spare time.

The available adapters tend to be for pinouts that are already known and included in the tool databases but if there's an unknown pinout on a known layout they could also be used to connected to the LA rather than a breakout board. It's why the datalabs one from Apex although less polished I think is actually good value, I'm sure there are 3d printed version of similar homebrew solutions that have been made in-house all over the place.

If you can determine the control lines with a LA then ACE's spiderboard will attempt to put the data lines in order. That adapter is 3 times the price of the multi adapters - I don't have one but you can see how many companies do by the fact ACE still sells it (not true for the card reader adapter).

Data lines are the part of the process I have problems with and where my personal research hit a wall. The number of devices with unknown layouts that are sent in is nowhere near enough given the price of flash recovery at labs specialising in it.

99 euro is fair price for you?

Yes 99$ would be a very fair price. Would you be willing to sell it for me? If yes, Id contact the data recovery shop and ask them if it was an option for them.
