SanDisk Cruzer Blade: Can the data on this cracked SanDisk flash drive be recovered?

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 09:49:32 -0700

I have this SanDisk flash drive that has been cracked. I am wondering if there is any way to retrieve my data. I have found a couple videos that show recovery experts attempting to solder it where the wires may be broken or switch the nand and the connector chip. Has anyone ever had this performed on their SanDisk and if so, how likely is it to actually work?

SanDisk Cruzer Blade: Broken stem on pcb SanDisk Cruzer Blade

Tue, 05 Mar 2024 09:54:18 -0700

Hello

Recently my parent’s flash drive had been physically broken and cannot receive power. I took off the plastic case and saw that the PCB of the flash drive and the stem were together. The physical damage of the drive has a line going across where the PCB and the stem head meet and does go across a few traces on the PCB. This is my first time dealing with something like this and I’m wondering what I can do. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you!

SanDisk Cruzer Blade: reconnect the sliding soldered portion of the USB thumbdrive

Mon, 23 May 2022 12:00:07 -0700

The 4 soldered joints have cleanly separated from the sliding stub so I can no longer insert the thumb drive into my USB hub. I cannot separate the two plastic halves to access the 4 joints and am afraid of cracking the plastic case if I apply pressure in the wrong spot. Sans Disk has been useless in trying to get a straight answer from them.

It looks like this.
