Damaged USB stick

[johkell]

Hi,
Is it possible to repair a USB stick where the chip has come away from the board?
Or at least retrieve the information on this stick?

Repair, no. Recover data, sure, bu tonly with a specialised service and they are expensive usually.

Yea, I partly guessed that that was the case, but never hurts to get a 2nd opinion. The cost of data recovery is ridiculous.
I contacted a company (for sport to see exactly how expensive) and they quoted €550 to recover 8GB.

Thanks for the confirmation buddy.

Always do, be a simpleton not to. I did retrieve it myself afterwards. Test Disk, the simple best program for data recovery. (in my humble opinion)

Glad to hear.
