I like that you show unsolved cases too. Nice video once again.
Glad you like them!
If I make a video about something that didn't work, I'd remember it better not to try again also
Glad to see you back and posting new videos.
Welcome back!
Still very good attempt. Pleased you posted this. 👍🏻✌🏻🇬🇧
Thanks 👍
I always enjoy your videos and marvel at your skills.
I appreciate that!
nice job my friend but as you said another time for this one, but was very informative for us
spoke with admin of Acelab and there is a chance something can still be cooked up for it. If it happens I will be posting it for sure. Deepspar video is in the hopper dude ;)
Those OWC drives controller chip gets so hot even when new out of the box, i seen a good few come in failed and never trusted them.
yeah SM2260 do run hot
Very neat, nice content!
Thanks
Thanks for another excellent video...
Thanks again!
Great work sir.
Thank you
I'm an electronic technician and I would have the Ace lab tools just for fun😅😅, anyway very good job as the same.
thanks so much
Where have you been Legend
life's been busy, just got back from Europe a little while ago, working on content, new website, new CRM, new staff training, possibly bigger office space and potentially training by early 2024, so yeah lots of hats I am wearing :)
@@hddrecoveryservices had missed your content, hopefully you enjoyed your holiday and all the best on the website and work
How about redoing the double stacked controller (seperating and reconstruction if it's not dead), i can help with that if you don't mind. i do microsoldering for phones and i do most of these double chips which have cpu and ram on top.
I would love to! but I had a perfectly working donor here, so I figured I'd save me a headache and time by not exploring that just for fun yet :) I am fascinated with phone repair guys who really do save these units and not just swap screens and batteries. Great job you do
Why don't you use ready-made solder balls? Just personal preference, or is there a certain advantage to using the paste to form them yourself?
I think for the parts I usually work with, paste is quicker, and easier to use. There is absolutely no issue with either of the methods as long as you are comfy with it. For me paste is simpler.
@@hddrecoveryservices Just asking because some other channels I watch use balls. Pretty sure you know about Krisfix...
I just saw that HDD Recovery Services is in the same building as a Stash & Co "Recreational Cannabis". That's amazing, but how do you get anything done? 🤣
hahaaaaaa. dude I gotta make a video about how I signed the lease for my office 6-7 years ago or so
sometimes I look back at these moments and ask myself, why am I not vlogging everything that happens in my day, it would have been a priceless content
@@hddrecoveryservices Yeah, I bet it would 🤣
But keep the recovery videos coming, too. I really like them. Thanks!
That's what the vented fume hood is for. lol
If voltage fries my nand or causes it to explode on my 16inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro, is the data still recoverable? I don’t have a backup and I really need a miracle here…
we don't do much work on soldered on Macbook SSDs. I would recommend checking with Master Liu - this guy really knows them well and his channel is very underrated" www.youtube.com/@MasterLiuTechnology
He does awesome work
I've seen a few videos from Kris Fix Germany. His specialty is GPUs. Normally he reballs GPUs with solder balls. I thought it was odd and thought solder paste might be easier. Then he made a video with solder paste. It's definitely 10x harder than NAND that's for sure. The massive surface area of the chip makes it more complicated. For whatever reason it's not an issue with balls. So that's my guess. With NAND I suspect paste is probably easier, but it was still surprising to see it take longer than normal for you this time. I thought all NAND was more or less the same. I guess not.
I've seen TH-camr Strange Parts use ready-made balls on iPhone chips
this chip has 8 crystals (8xCE) so it soaks in way more heat
yeah
hey!
12:30 what tool is that, that allows him to read info off the nand chips, and can files be grabbed using it or do you need to completely resoulder the nand?
It's called NAND reader by Softcenter. No longer available, but it was a great tool for over a decade
@@hddrecoveryservicesthanks
This m2 ssd failed to recover my file.
so is chip off not an option here?
No, basically chip off is only possible for a very few SATA type SSDs. PCIe is not doable as chip-off via NAND
@@hddrecoveryservices hmm wierd.
How do you typically check the capacitors? Any ESR testing? Just curious.
I check caps with multimeter in diode mode and resistance to confirm, if in doubt I use thermal imaging sometimes
To check capacity of a cap you must remove if from the board .
nice vid... thx
thanks!
It's funny that you often get jobs that other recovery services failed at. While my classic idea of a 'recovery service' is a lab that's a big white room where they wear full body suits and have stuff like have electron microscopes and flux microscopes.
I feel like it would make a great episode to talk about the industry, big brands, smoke and mirrors and other BS that is part of data recovery. I'll try to figure out a way to make it soon
High time LDPC gets solved. I assure you the people are working :)
I think that's not in cards for near future at least
We shall see. @@hddrecoveryservices
