A Dell Inspiron P66F001 15-inch laptop computer manufactured in 2017 was presented dead on arrival (DOA). Not only would the computer not boot, it would not even power on. The computer was then disassembled and the main logic board was removed from the chassis for further inspection. When powered on with 19.5V at the charger input and viewed with a thermal infrared camera, the Platform Controller Hub (PCH) embedded on the CPU die would heat up. Upon viewing the schematics pertaining to the powering of the PCH, the power for the PCH was discovered to originate with a Silergy Corp. SY2826BRAC High Efficiency Fast Response 6A 23V Input Synchronous Step Down Regulator, labeled on the logic board as PU100. Next, a multimeter was used to measure the output voltage of PU100. According to the schematics, the output should be around 3.3V. When measured, however, it was found to be approximately 17.87V, more than 500% the expected value. With no fuse or other electrical component in between the output of PU100 and the multiple PCH power inputs, when PU100 electrically shorted, it also electrically shorted the PCH. Since the laptop computer model is more than 6 years old (as of 2024), a used working model is readily available for much less than $100 USD, making the repair not economically viable. If Dell engineers, however, had added to the circuit a single 6A fuse, the permanent damage done to the PCH may have been avoided and the laptop computer may still be usable today. Even though the SY8286B features a wide input voltage range of 4V - 23V, output over voltage latch-off protection, short circuit latch-off protection, and output current limit protection, designing a circuit so only one electrical component lay between the PCH and the +19VB DC input is horribly negligent at best. It’s almost like Dell purposely designed the laptop to catastrophically fail as quickly and as easily as possible.

This video illustrates the second data recovery attempt of a PNY 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Memory Drive, and showcases the use of an ACELab PC-3000 Flash to perform a chip-off NAND Flash data recovery. The drive was first used successfully, then safely ejected from the computer that was using it, and finally 15 minutes failed to mount to a different computer. In Part 1, a DeepSpar USB Stabilizer Pro 10Gb was used to try to access the Flash drive but was unsuccessful in even initializing the drive. Next, the USB Flash drive was viewed using a thermal infrared camera while being powered, revealing a shorted Phison PS2251-07-6 Flash memory controller. Lastly, with no donor drive available, the BGA Flash memory chip was desoldered from the logic board using hot air, and the chip was cleaned of solder and flux. This video shows the continuation of the data recovery where the BGA Flash memory chip is read and the data reconstructed using an ACELab PC-3000 Flash with a BGA-152/BGA-132 adapter.

This video illustrates a data recovery attempt from a PNY 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Memory Drive. The drive was first used successfully, then safely ejected from the computer that was using it, and finally 15 minutes failed to mount to a different computer. A DeepSpar USB Stabilizer Pro 10Gb was first used to attempt to initialize the drive but that attempt was unsuccessful. The drive would consume a steady 93mA of current and occasionally drop down to 73mA for a brief moment. In addition, the drive was unable to report its total capacity. Next, the circuit board of the USB drive was removed from its protective plastic case and visually inspected for damage. After no apparent damage was found, a LCR meter was used to test the passive components on the logic board. One capacitor, C99, was discovered to be malfunctioning due to the high measured resistance across the entire testable frequency range of 100Hz - 100kHz. The faulty C99 capacitor was then removed using hot air and tested out of circuit to confirm its damaged condition. After plugging into the DeepSpar USB Stabilizer 10Gb again, the USB Flash drive behaved identically to how it did before: consuming 93mA and periodically dropping momentarily to 73mA. Again, the drive was unable to report its total capacity. To conclude testing, the USB Flash drive was provided electrical power and observed running with a thermal infrared camera. Unfortunately, a hot spot immediately developed in the center of the Phison controller QFP chip located on the transverse side of the BGA Flash memory chip, indicating a failure of some kind. This is consistent with the controller being unable to provide the USB Stabilizer 10Gb a total drive capacity. Lastly, the BGA Flash memory chip was prepared for a chip-off data recovery attempt using an ACELab PC-3000 Flash by removing the excess non-leaded solder from the BGA chip pads and cleaning the chip of flux and debris using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and cotton swabs. Part 2 (coming soon) will showcase the use of an ACELab PC-3000 Flash to perform a chip-off NAND Flash data recovery.

Formatting or reformatting a drive does not securely delete all of the data from it. Unless a drive or memory card is securely erased, data recovery software can be used to recover data from the previous iteration of the file system. This video illustrates how to securely erase hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SSDs), USB drives, and memory cards using the data recovery application R-Studio. If you need help with a data recovery, please feel free to contact us 7 days a week by telephone and text at 1.858.692.0541, by e-mail at info@it-sd.com, or visit our website at https://www.it-sd.com. DATA RECOVERY PROCEDURE: -------------------------------------------------- 1. Launch R-Studio. 2. Connect the drive or memory card to be securely erased. If the drive does not appear in the Device View, press the Refresh Button in the toolbar. 3. Right-click on the drive or memory device to securely erase and select Wipe from the menu. 4. Select the desired wiping algorithm to use. More passes take more time to finish but more securely wipe the memory. 5. In most cases, the single pass option which fills the drive or memory card with all zeros is sufficient to delete almost all of the data from the drive or memory. All of the user-accessible data is securely deleted. 6. If a memory card or drive is being sold or permanently discarded, the other higher-pass options more securely erase the memory device and reduce the probability of recovering any data from the previous iteration of the file system.

Formatting a memory card destroys the original file system and replaces it with a new file system. During this process, any data stored on the card is deleted. For example, with an originally formatted ExFAT memory card, after reformatting, the all-important $FAT metafile would be destroyed and replaced with a relatively speaking nearly empty file. However, even after reformatting, most of the data on the drive remains unaffected. Consequently, data recovery software such as R-Tools Technology R-Studio can be used to recover data from reformatted memory cards. This video illustrates how to use R-Studio to recover data from a reformatted ExFAT Flash memory card.

Similar to computers, tablets, and smartphones, hard disk drives require instructions describing exactly how to boot. For hard drives, this data on how to boot is stored on 8-pin Flash memory chips and is accessed using the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) protocol. During the Data Recovery process, it is often wise to both inspect and make backup copies of drives' boot firmware. Once saved, hard disk firmware can be copied (programmed) to other Flash Memory Chips and can be reprogrammed when firmware data loss is suspected or confirmed. The CH341a Mini Programmer is an inexpensive tool for reading and writing directly to Flash memory chips using both the SPI and IC2 communication protocols. When combined with AsProgrammer software available for free on GitHub.com: https://github.com/nofeletru/UsbAsp-flash Firmware can be save to and loaded from Microsoft Windows .BIN Binary Files: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_file This video illustrates how to use the CH341a Mini Programmer in conjunction with the free AsProgrammer software to both read and write to hard disk drive and computer SPI Flash Memory Chips.

Sanding a MicroSD Flash memory card using a fine tip fiberglass pen. This process exposes the data and control lines located on the surface of the underside of the memory card that are used to communicate directly with the Flash memory core. The entire sanding process took approximately 22 minutes to complete. It is recommended to wear gloves and work atop a paper towel as many tiny fiberglass shards are produced. Also, the bare copper will oxidize with time. Consider coating the exposed copper with solder or conformal coating to prevent oxidation and damage.

Formatting a drive destroys the original file system and overwrites it with a new file system. For example, with an originally formatted NTFS drive, after reformatting, the all-important $MFT metafile would be destroyed and replaced with a relatively speaking nearly empty file. However, most of the data on the drive remains unaffected by the formatting process. Consequently, data recovery software such as R-Tools Technology R-Studio can be used to recover data from reformatted drives. This video illustrates how to use R-Studio to recover data from a NTFS drive that was reformatted. If you need help with a data recovery, please feel free to contact us 7 days a week by telephone and text at 1.858.692.0541, by e-mail at info@it-sd.com, or visit our website at https://www.it-sd.com. DATA RECOVERY PROCEDURE: 1. Launch R-Studio 2. Show Files to Confirm $MFT Has Been Rewritten During Formatting Procedure 3. Scan (Scrape / Carve) for File & Folder Fragments 4. Show Files of Recognized Partition 5. Select Files & Folders (Directories) to Recover 6.
