I had some minor success in the past with restoring chips which had their power rails shorted because of an earlier overvoltage. I think the clamping diodes got fused, and when these get burned out by additional stressing it can partially work again. I used a transistor curve tracer to stress the chips on the AC mode with current limiting, and quickly bumping the voltage up and down using the collector voltage knob (effectively creating voltage spikes), each time a little higher, all the while I'm paying close attention at the U/I curves.
a tiny amount of 2-part quick cure epoxy would help a lot to keep those replacement pads in their place. insulin syringes with their tiny hipodermic needle are great for measuring out tiny amounts of the 2-part epoxy.
the wires are likely issue. on boot the device will train dram to get the best possible performance, if timing is outside a range because the wires are so long for example then it will fail to get memory access. the registers you were looking at are not in dram. it might have been easier to get a new dram chip, the characteristics of chip are important
I followed this guy since the beginning. He is one of the best nowadays in restoring imposible data. I would like to learn more but the recovery machine cost lost of money.
holy crap! this is soooo delecate. I'm always stunned by your level of precision. Skill is one thing, but precision is not something you can learn. I don't think anyway.
Vor einigen Tagen habe ich Video gesehen, das wurde ein Laser benutzt, um die obersten Schichten vom Chip zu entfernen. Ist das nicht die bessere Methode? Ansonsten: super tolle Arbeit!
If you aren't able to recover the data, do you still charge for the work and effort that was put into the attempted repair? Or does it all just go to waste?
Hello dude I appreciate you for making this channel and sharing your knowledge with others Your soldering skills are very high, I love watching your videos GOD bless you
It would be awesome to see it under a thermal camera. Sometimes Im able to remove shorts by getting a thermal image + xray and drilling into it. I've only tried this on sd cards when controller is being a bad boy, but perhaps here could be the light at the end of the tunnel!
I didn't like amtech :) no disrespect to anyone using it and swears by it, to me it's not a good product. One of the main reasons it dries up too quickly and turns cloudy when it hardens
Thanks man! I've never used the MG Flux. But I just ordered it a tube to give it a shot. I mean you do good work with it so I'm hoping my experience will be the same. And it's not that expensive so
Can you reach out to Slim Potatohead here on TH-cam? He experienced a data loss on a portable hard drive, losing a large set of videos (past and in progress). It's his most recent video that he talks about it. I tried to add a link, but I think it got caught by a filter. He's Canadian too, on the eastern side as well. He's getting large quotes for the work from US-based companies.
@@hddrecoveryservices awesome! I left a comment on his video too but I don’t know how to connect you two. He’s trying to find out if it’s worth $2700 CAD to a US company who says they can do it (who knows if they can). He’s asking viewers if they’d watch it if he was able to get it recovered, to see if it’s worth it.
pad repair kit came from here: t.ly/ugM7Z

very good call dude! thanks I will look into that
Very nice. I wish I could hold my hands still-enough to do this level of work.
You can do it! Just need to practice and a microscope
Perfect work. A lot of patience.
Thanks
Beautiful work as ever, shame the result wasn't more satisfying...
still bring closure :)
Fascinating to see and gave you the learning experience of using the kit for first time.
I really like this kit. I have another unit to use it on in upcoming episode
Really enjoyed the video.
You inspire people not to give up.
You can't win them all but it was great to watch you working with the pads.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Will

Anyone else not see this when it came out. No notification. Come on TH-cam.
Are you using some type of robotic arm to stabilize your hand. Those are some crazy soldering skills.

VCCQ is short to ground it's in the video.

in most cases we do not charge for unsuccessful recovery. It does not go to waste, this video will earn $700-900 in couple of years :)

Maybe I will take it to x-ray shop next time I am there and see.
This repair is realy insane !
Thank you
Оторванные пятаки) Жесть, ) Отличная операция! Какой флюс лучше использовать для пайки? Спасибо!)
nice job with the pads 😃😃👍👍
Thanks 👍
perfect job , well done
Thank you! Cheers!
Do you prefer your MG flux over something like Amtech?

I'll check it out. Maybe ask ppl to bump comment in next episode

Does he have instagram?
Man this is a cool video. Bravo.
Thank you Joseph
Surgeon on action :))) take care erkin
Thanks bro
hello sir do you charge failed attempt ,if yes how do you cote this ??
No, I don't
👌 Great 👌 work 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Are you need a trainee technician ??
