usb flash drive repair
hey guys,i found a few flash drives in my office that were not working. i opened the casing of 1 of them, a kingston data traveler with 4 gb memory . i found was that a the drive was dead short and the flash io controller ic and flash memory ic were not getting any voltage though the 4 usb connector pins showed 5 volts.i the saw three inductor coils 2 of them were working fine i checked this by the continuity test by using a multimeter the third inductor however had developed resistance which was the cause of the shorting, all i did was removed the inductor and bridged the empty pads on the board...Last edited by linston; 10-26-2011, 06:31 AM.
