Oh please do underestimate me. There are plenty of things that have
not worked that I attempted.
I am not sure how this thing works, but it is a little quirky. You
must have contact with the item being soldered in order for it to heat!
I read a review, done by MSNBC I think, in which an

Looking at Figure 3, I would think that the PCB could just be shoved into
a USB socket.

I bought a cheap USB HUB at Walmart. Took the cover off, and snipped
off the wires (saved me from having to cut a perfectly good cord,
plus price was the same)

I have been given a chore.
The JROTC department at the local high school has a USB flash
drive. Somehow the end (Connector) of the Flash drive has been
broken off, and they need to recover the contents of the flash drive.
What I have considered doing is opening the Flash Drive, and getting

This one pulled the contacts straight off the PCB and all that is
left is spots where the contacts were soldered.
I have salvaged all the contacts, so will attempt to solder them back
on (after having soldered the wires to them) and connect it, get the
data off of
If you heat that chip up, there is a chance you may wipe the memory...
I am not sure but I would think twice about soldering directly...
Have you thought about holding probes firmly to the contacts while
someone else salvages the data?
