    Yes, Chris is coming to Texas. He is coming up on his four year anniversary, and I can't stress enough how much he has grown since he started here. I can happily retire away my soldering iron & desk knowing he is chief technician, a better technician than I ever could've dreamed of being. He lives, eats, and breathes this work and it shows in his passion and more importantly, his results.
    He can fix the MacBook boards that the rest of us give up on, he can recover data from clicking hard drives, dying ssds, MicroSD cards that somebody physically destroyed, or a liquid damaged iphone. It is so incredibly rare to sign somebody who is so highly skilled across so many different sub disciplines in this industry. Chris is a unicorn.
    Above all, Chris is known for seeing a $600 DPA 4066 microphone on the desk and.... recording audio with a cup & a string anyway. What a legend.

      Reminds me of when my microphone broke, so I took a set of headphones, plugged into the mic jack with a slight offset, & put right up to my face. I turned on mic boost, maxed out all mic volume settings, and talked loudly into it.
      Worked well enough.. but the fidelity of a cup and string would likely have been better!

    So I had this wedding once and for some reason both my SD cards went tits up. The preview on the camera would let me "look" at the pictures and the camera would read the card but when I removed the cards and tried to copy the files to Lightroom nothing.... needless to say telling a bride after the ceremony the pictures went poof wasn't a good look. Besides the fact that you can get sued it's a gnarly situation. An outfit out of North Carolina was able to retrieve every picture on those SD cards. They saved my ass and saved the Brides big day. Cudos to the folks who can do this sorta stuff!!

      No way to plug the camera into a computer via USB? If the camera could read all the images, you'd think it could transmit all that data via cable to another device without removing the card. Much slower transfer, but if it works when nothing else does, it's worth the wait.

    • @RossMitchellsProfile
      @RossMitchellsProfile ปีที่แล้ว +5

      @Richard Cranium There are professional cameras that do exactly this to avoid disasters like the one OP had. Most wedding photographers couldn't live without them, it'd severely damage their reputation if they lost wedding photos. Some photographers even go as far as having backup cameras with them and not shooting everything on one memory card to mitigate how much data would be lost if a card died.

      The D3 had 2 memory slots. Being 2 years into a side gig you learn as you go. I've learned to have back ups on top of back ups. I used an SD reader that went to a lap top. After the ceremony I usually back up my pictures. Somehow from the camera to the SD reader the card went tits up.
      I wasn't smart enough then to utilize the 2nd slot. Needless to say it all worked out in the end but I lost my ass. Stupid is stupid does lol

    @scottrobinson4611 ปีที่แล้ว +61

    A small correction: This is scratched, not cracked.
    When a MicroSD is cracked, recovery is still possible in some cases, but a little more involved than this.
    I'd have to get the card x-rayed to see where the controller and NAND were, and see if the crack avoided the NAND.
    The crack could also lead to short circuits of all sorts, which need to be remedied, often by strategically cutting traces based on the x-ray images.

    • @scottrobinson4611
      @scottrobinson4611 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      @@anshadedavana I'm actually not sure about the x-ray machine specifics.
      The company I worked for had two offices, one in the UK (where I worked) and one in the US). The US office had the x-ray machine, so we'd send out cards that needed x-rays, they'd scan them and send them back.
      When we needed a really quick turnaround, we did ask the local university to let us use their machine. I think it was the medical physics department, but I'm not sure of the machine itself.
      For the NAND pins, we had all the pinouts shown in this video, which show where all the important traces (Data 0-7, ALE/CLE/WE/RE/CE/RB) are on the surface. We'd then trace all of those back to the NAND banks themselves, and see if any of them were broken by the crack in the card.
      We got most of our pinouts in this video from Rusolut's Visual NAND Reconstructor, which has a database of them. (It's very similar to PC-3000)
      We could also use the x-ray principle in reverse to guess pinouts.
      Banks of NAND have (mostly) standard layouts, so we can follow the traces in reverse from the NAND and map which surface traces lead to which connection at the NAND itself.
      This is how we reverse-engineered some pinouts, along with the help of a logic analyser.
      The startup costs are big, which really sucks.
      Our yearly license for VNR was like $2000.
      Our licence for a more basic recovery solution called "Flash Extractor" was still like $1000, and had a lot less functionality than VNR or PC-3000 did.

    • @madmodders
      @madmodders ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Because there is a controller chip in between the pins and the NAND memory. That chip takes care of the wear levelling and skips bad memory cells and so on. Chris soldered wires directly to the NAND pads and bypassed the controller chip.
