Hi all,

I was wondering if the flash drive is repairable? each pin needs to soldered back together between the two pieces. Is there anywhere that could do this? preferably in Christchurch but I can obviously send it anywhere to be done.

Its not the drive I care about, its the files on it which are not backed up anywhere else.

Thanks,

_David_

That certainly looks doable to me. I would solder short lengths of wire to the pins to connect them rather than trying to reassemble the unit.

grab a new connector and take it to an electronics repair shop

Where are you located? I'm happy to sort that for you if you're in the Dunedin/Otago area.

I had these guys recommended for a board-level repair about 10 years ago. Couriers make them not being local a little less important.

They have just finished a third job for me that I need to go and pick up. :)
