Hey, I just took my SD card out of my phone and now it doesn't work anymore. There are black spots on two of the contacts at the bottom. I don't know if it's dirt or burnt-in, but I can't get it off with my finger. Does anyone have any ideas how I can possibly save the data or get rid of the spots?

Loading...4TB black external HDD hard drive 2.5 inch, USB 3.0
Hello, I have an M2 SSD with two notches and I'm wondering if the SSD will fit into a normal M2 SSD slot (with one notch). I have the B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE with the KT-B900 M.2 SSD from Kimtigo.
Can I install the SSD from my old laptop into my new computer and just turn it on? Is that possible, and do I need to do anything else, or will it work as is?
Griastenk, I have a Huawei Matebook 16 and would like to upgrade the SSD from 512 to 1TB, but I'm not sure which 1TB I should get and which one will fit.
I recently completely deleted a program (the Riot client, including League of Legends and Valorant) from one of my hard drives (HDD) along with another program and then installed it on the other hard drive (SSD). Previously, there was a corrupted file in the Valorant folder, so I downloaded the program to uninstall it. Now…
I'm buying a used SSD today. There might still be data on it, so my question is, will it be enough to format it using Windows (not the "quick format" option, of course)? Also, if there were viruses or something similar on the drive, will that remove them so I can connect it to my…
The pin with the big spot is the VDD pin (power supply) and the other with the small spot the CLK line (Clock).
Looks like something happened. Do you have a multimeter?
If this is no longer detected, it would be a case for the garbage can or a professional data savior if the data are important (cost about 300+ EUR).
No I don’t have a multimeter and the data is important but not worth 300€. It would be a shame if they were lost.
Someone said that I could try to get the stains away with nail varnish remover (without perfume) or spirituose. I don’t know if I should do that. Some say no.
Do you know what the stains come from? They were pretty suddenly there
Looks burned – VDD is the line in the current goes in and CLK is almost the clock. Looks like there’s something with the controller part of the SSD.
You can try it with nail polish remover, but I give the action a chance of 0.01%
Under a microscope you should see it well or with a watchmaker magnifier. Then you could see if that’s burned or not.
You can try the SPI hack with a Raspberry and read the data via SPI bus via the serial interface. To do this, you should be able to program and solder – but I would also give it a max. 1-2% that it works.
And 1GB via SPI / serial interface needs I think far over a day.
Short-circuits like to cause sudden spots. Is it really a spot or burnt?
I might have an idea – send you a friendship request…
