I am so thankful for this video. I broke my flash drive and I thought I had to say goodbye to all my data. I called a few IT stores and they all quoted me over $400. Well after watching this video I decided to test my luck. The broken pieces on my flash driver were similar to the ones in this video. So I tried the option of aligning the broken pins to the connector. It took a few tries, but it lit up and I was able to hold it in place and retrieve all my data. Thanks for making this so simple. I hope someone else has the same luck I had!

Oh my goodness!! I was going to cry and I don't know what else. I bent my flash drive in which I had stored all of my coursework for this unwanted class I had to take for the Florida Dept. of Education. I did everything I could to try to get this thing to work. Your video was the first one to come up, so I decided to watch it. I was able to open the plastic that encloses the components of the flash drive. I saw the pins you were talking about and, as you said, I don't have a small soldering iron. So I used my thumbnail (actual thumbnail). Good thing it was long and was able to hold those pins down enough so that I could get the one file I needed. I can get the others later on to move to another flash drive. It took only 2-3 minutes, but they were painful as I had to press down hard so that the pins stay down and I would not have to restart the whole process after three times of trying. Thank you so much. God bless you.

If my method didn't work for you, then go ahead and ask some technician at any repair shop to fix it.

Question, I have a usb with 9 connectors, is it just to put togheter?

@ElectronicsComputers 4 жыл бұрын

That's a USB 3.0 connector. You can only connect 4 terminals and it will work as a regular USB 2.0 flash drive.

My usb ThumbDrive blinks on and off every 7or 8 seconds do you think it could be a bad connection ? I may try this .

Does your computer recognize the drive when it's on?

Yes Only for about 7 or 8 seconds then goes off then goes on ,then off ,then on , repeatedly ,its so quick not much chance to trouble shoot .@@ElectronicsComputers

I am really completely puzzled here. I had my USB stick (intenso 32gb) broken. The connecting bit to the laptop was bend. I took some tools and started to open it. I had to use a lot of force so it did snap a bit violent and some bits might have jumped away but not much. But the whole green plate is just not there. I also can't see how it would have ever fitted inside. I only find a mini SD-card size plate that sits in the connector but inside the stick is just plastic. I turned the room up side down looking for missing bits but there aren't any. Are there USB sticks that have just an SD-card like storage inside? (I anyway don't understand why a USB stick needs that green plate stuff while a mini SD-card doesn't..) Thanks anyone that can solve this puzzle.

I think the PCB is inside of your USB connector. The main difference is why SD card smaller than USB flash drive is that SD card has only memory chip inside and all the other components are inside of your cardreader or laptop's motherboard. USB interface provides universal connection for different devices, so all USB devices must have a USB controller on the board. In your case, memory chip communicates through that controller with the USB port.
