My question is simple
can be flash memory controller replaced?

Custommer send me usb key 3.0 that have ripped off connector. i solder that connector back but key was not recognized and 5V line drops to 4.0V and key consume 0.32A. flash controller starts to heat up fast.

so can be this controller replaced so key will work to download data?

or what programmer is able to download raw data from flash chip?

usually no.What is the controller part number and flash memory type. You might be able to freeze the controller and get it to read.

You'd have to get the controller from a donor board. Or if it's impossible use a multiple thousands dollar solution that can reconstruct an image from the raw data on the NAND.
Or do the right thing if you care about your customer's data, don't mess with it and send it to a specialized company.

So it can be replaced from the same drive ? but that will be same as replace NAND chip to donor board.

is verified that it will work this way?
