I have a Crucial 32 Folding flash drive. Worked fine on Tuesday night, plugged it in on Wednesday morning and… Nothing. Absolutely nothing! Problem is, it contains ALL my files (of course) which I need (of course). Is there a way to fix it myself (I have a “little bit” of electronics skills) , or should I send it off and jus pay the $$$$ to have it fixed and data recovered? Any ideas, suggestions? HELP?
Before you take it apart try downloading easeus data recovery see if you can see your data there
A BGA rework professional may be able to swap the memory to a new flashdrive, but without a hot air station you don’t have a hope of switching it. Try pressing on the chips while you plug it in. Maybe it will work long enough to get your data. If not I would have to say send it in and pay. :(
use partitionGuru Software and change the drive letter maybe from E to R
