My friend said he lend his USB drive stick to another person.. who broke off the small part in between the metal... "the white middle part".. he said everything else is intact.. but that it kind of fell off.

Now ... I know what you are thinking.. back up back up.. heh I am thinking the same thing. But he really had some pretty important stuff there .. so is there any way to fix it (retrieve the data)? Located in San Diego (willig to go to a local tech or online).. btw... its a scan disk I believe .. but he just call so I have few details.
 
That's what I would say. Take the metal part of the usb key apart. Get a usb cable and cut one end off. Strip the wires and solder them to the contacts on the key.

It's so simple (joke) :rolleyes: Sorry to hear about it, good luck.

If you choose to accept this mission anyone associated with said flash drive will disavow all knowledge of its existence. Hee hee :D

 
The plastic piece doesn’t do anything. It is just a backing for the 4 contacts that are in there. If the contacts are unharmed, then you can just stick something else in there. Plastic or wood that will hold the contacts in place. If the contacts are broken then you will have to solder it.
