Well, can certainly relate to getting glass shards in my finger while trying to take out busted screens. Happened more than once. Would be cool for storage to be on a daughterboard with some anti-shock gel coating. Would probably need several connectors for good bandwidth, but the benefits would be immense, since all you need to recover your data would be an identical device. We gonna ever get that? No. Cause they want us to use their stupid cloud.
Could be a spouse, kid, criminal or employee: someone was trying to hide something ... but I am inclined to say that it is illegal in nature because that data has to have tangible financial value for someone to pay this much money when it is likely the recovery will fail.
Chris, after scraping, grinding, or cutting shorted layers, try polishing it, it may help remove shorts. You may have to cut less off and wont have to be as lucky with the former part.
i understand these are hard to open without breaking the screen but this is next level. i was lucky enough to have a surface pro 4 witch was one of the last ones with a removeable m.2 ssd
I don't understand. They knew enough to be able to locate the soldered on NAND chip, but then didn't know enough not to try and pry it off the board?? Suppose they did get it off. Then what? I just don't understand how this happens.
I am still using my Surface Pro 3. Yeah battery doesn't last as long, but where I use it, it's almost always on AC. So unless the SSD dies, it's my great little "duffle bag" computer.

If Apple sends my AirPod Max back with no trouble found again, I need to send them to you and have you explain to Apple why the right side of my headphones turns off then left turns off with the headset rebooting then and disconnecting from the phone only to reconnect when it reboots.

Man, this video comes at a perfect time. Can you send me a board view schematic for the Surface Pro? A few weeks ago I dropped mine, and shattered the screen. Now, I was trying to pull the screen, and clipped some flex cables in the process (I didn't know they were so fucking nut to butt against the bezel). Now that the cables are gone, I genuinely don't know which ones did what. So a board view would help me immensely in determining whether it's worth it or not to buy a screen and try to fix this thing. I've got a Surface Pro 7, which looks exactly like the one you're working with.
I felt extreme anger and sheer utter confusion that a screen was removed with a... can opener... you are not supposed to do that, even a sub-brick intelligent person like me can understand it. But why a can opener?

Given what I know of Microsoft's software, I figured its hardware would be user-hostile, too, but soldered STORAGE? Is this an anomaly or the new normal for thin-and-lights nowadays??? Grim stuff.
Soldered storage is getting MUCH more popular on the T&Ls. LTT has a video where one of the Big Manufacturers claimed that they can do higher speeds if they solder it down, for shorter transmission distance or some BS
@@CostcoJomo Kind of hilarious too, when we've got PCIe Gen5 M.2 drives that provide more than enough performance in the top-tier, but Gen4 and Gen3 are sufficient for most people at a lower cost too. The speed excuse is definitely BS. They hate upgradability. It doesn't sell those higher-tier storage and RAM options they charge double for. 😑

when the word "f.cked" actually makes more sense than simply "damaged".

Can opener
Reminds me of an early Louis video. Taking a screwdriver to a flash chip seems like something I would do. :) I'm impressed you even tried.
This case looks like someone actually wanted to have their data gone and and tried to rip the nand off the board to destroy their data.
For some reason I was picturing a motorized electric 1950s can opener.
I thought, that poor surface is toast.
I was wrong.
Good job, dudes!
Circuit board repair is always fun to watch! More satisfying, of course, when it's able to be fixed, but I still enjoyed it!!
This was really cool and learned about the PCB portion of a chip having more layers than I thought they did.
Minimum 6-layer PCB, if I got all the layers counted and packed into very thin layers.
Well, can certainly relate to getting glass shards in my finger while trying to take out busted screens. Happened more than once. Would be cool for storage to be on a daughterboard with some anti-shock gel coating. Would probably need several connectors for good bandwidth, but the benefits would be immense, since all you need to recover your data would be an identical device. We gonna ever get that?

Would an m.2 connector meet you exact specifications?
@@bertblankenstein3738 Shame nobody has invented these yet.
Wait, what?
@@bertblankenstein3738 Memory chips probably have all those contact pads for a reason.
Why does that look like the aftermath of a quiet breakup or when the wife dreams that the husband cheated?
The other option is that the police asked for the device data and the user tried to destroy it to hide something.
Could be a spouse, kid, criminal or employee: someone was trying to hide something ... but I am inclined to say that it is illegal in nature because that data has to have tangible financial value for someone to pay this much money when it is likely the recovery will fail.

Good work and content
Wait a minute, this channel fixes computers?
This should be interesting!
1000 grit or finer diamond sharpener would not smudge the layer edges so much.
Also the action needs to be paraller with the layers
Why is there no audio? Very strange

He could have removed the Nand directly with hot air gun the way we do in mobile phones.
