Hiya Folks.

I have broken the end of my USB Storage Pen. How can I retreive the data that is on the pen?
 
Hmmmm - trick one. How important is the data? I guess that one of the recovery firms could do it (at a cost!)

Is there anything left you could solder new connections to? I'm wondering if you google for how USB electrical connections worked you could chop into a USB extention lead & connect the wires to the remains of the connections on the key?
 
Might be able to do some fancy solder work swapping the main flash board into another key of the same make/model.

Just a thought...
