Readable in DMDE? If you can't make a post-sectoral copy of it, you won't get anything at home alone. Start by checking this. Unreadable on my computer can be, for many reasons, important or visible in disk management and whether it manages to make a copy.

I will add that this pendrive gets very hot. I don't care about the pen drive itself, but only the data from it

We won't do anything here programmatically. Check what he sees now ChipGenius (after connecting this USB stick to the USB port).

odddellarobia · Answer

in chipgenius it doesn't display anything, it just loads for a moment. Generally, when I connect to a computer it is information that the device and something about the driver are not recognized. maybe it's about the driver?
device status in the device manager

Windows has stopped this device due to reported problems. (Code 43)

so what should I do first? uninstall the device then should I download this DevManView program? and then what's up with this fix?

I am asking for instructions on what to do in turn.
Or maybe there are some drivers for this flash drive?

6 years ago there was the same problem but someone fixed it but I don't know how and I can't find out anymore. I do not know if it was unscrewed, but I managed to fix it.

You can't do anything yourself if, for example, as you wrote, DMDE doesn't see it.

A reading from the memory chip remains.

melanchel · Answer

Is it displayed on many computers?

kaleron · Answer

Returning to this topic at the request of the author:
- to recover data, you need to desolder the memory chip (s), read on the programmer and rebuild the image of the logical structure based on binary images.
- repairs by reprogramming the firmware carry a high risk of irretrievable data destruction. This is not the case in 100% of cases, but the risk is so great that if you care about data, take it as a religious dogma that pendrives, memory cards or SSDs with important data are not repaired, but data is recovered from them. Mostly with methods that destroy the medium.
