Hi all,
So a friend's USB drive stopped being recognized by windows all of a sudden, I said I'd have a look at it, thinking it would be a case of corrupted data and windows refusing to mount the drive due to that.
Plugged it into my Linux machine and there's still no response, looks like it's hardware related.
Opened it up to check over the PCB and connections and low and behold, I can't see a PCB. Now it must obviously be under the metal shroud, but I've never dealt with a USB drive like this before.
If anyone on here has experience with this type of drive and could provide some tips/advice on how to go about at least getting to the PCB that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks
