no.

>>55147506
i dont see why you cant just glue the metal contacts together
>>
>>55147508
I doubt it.
My answer is yes
>>
Most likely not

absolutely not. the silicon is broke and little bits of dust are out. say good bye to your CP

micro sd card card layout.jpg

Look at this picture.

It says the memory chip is toward the middle of the flat area. The cut is behind that. Meaning if you could reconnect the PCB back to the chip and connect the controller, you could theoretically access it again.

Anyone think the same?

At about 40 seconds into the video, it says that you can't retrieve data if the card is cracked. But they include a picture of a broken SD card just at the corner.

And I can't confirm the layout of the SD cards with this picture. It doesn't seem like a reliable source. Anyone have actual diagrams of what an SD card looks like on the inside?

Money no object? Yes. Not all of it, but most of it.

What I intend to do is exactly like in this video.

I'm going to fasten the card and put it under a microscope. Start sand papering down the back and expose the circuits. And instead of just connecting to the chip; I'll try to connect one side of the destroyed connectors to the other.

if the chip itself is damaged, the only option is electron microscopy, which is a manual process (unless you want to pay someone to spend months eyeballing each bit, minus the ones along where it cracked, you can count this as a "no")

if the chip is not damaged, then maybe, though it still requires special gear to hook it up and dump it
not to mention it will need decapping
this won't be cheap

Pretty sure there was quite an obvious piece of 'glass' I broke when breaking a micro sd. Not that small. And I don't think there's room for a pcb under the chip.

If there's one thing I learned from the eastern europeans than it is that you can simply tape broken electronics together and it will work again. Try it, or hand it to your local slav, they know how to do it.

>>55147506 The silicon is broken, so it's dead. Theoretically one could read data by manually probing each transistor. Its pretty long and expensive 10+k$ procedure even with low density (few kilobytes) devices like sim cards and microcontrollers. But with such high density, broken and only one device - its not realistic at all.

If money was no issue you definitely could. Even if the memory chip is broken, you'd just need some machine that allows you to solder microscopically, and the using to fix a few thousand millions of circuits. If you had 20 good scientists and a staff of qualified specialists and access to technology of a similar level than the one used by an intelligence agency, you's be able to fix it in a couple years at most, maybe even in months.

OP here.

Another thing I forgot to add.


When I plugged the card in (it was still attached by the top sticker).

Anyway, when I plugged it in, the PC was able to detect that it was a card, but it said it needed to format it.

>money is no issue

Depending on the severity of damage, yes. At least partially. Partial file damage obviously affects some types of files worse than others, so depending on what you're hoping to get it might not be worth it.

Rest assured, the government's not going to spend hundreds of millions to restore your CP collection.

It's not CP.

It's toilet voyeur. And looking closely into the cracks of this, yeah, it only looks like connectors got separated.

I'm going to invest in a microscope, dremel, micro soldering tools, etc.

I think this will be a good skill to pick up even if I don't succeed.

I'm 70% sure I'll succeed if I really put my mind to it.

I've fixed countless other electronics in a similar or related way.

>Prius ECU just gave out and I was able to pinpoint why and fix it (I just replaced the ECU for $25 though)
>Dropped VCR back in the day, and the circuit board inside cracked, so I followed every connector and solder a cable over it (never got the job done though, because I had to do it at my friend's house)
>Dropped soup into the open housing of my mac pro, while it was open and the CPU shorted out. I was able to wash it with distilled water and get it working again.
>Fixed countless components inside my Galaxy phones (wifi antenna, speaker, camera, SIM card reader), by replacing single components when they gave out.

I can do this.
