Top 10 USB Stick Faults That Require our Specialist Data Recovery Services (and How We Recover Your Data)

USB sticks are widely used for personal and business data storage—but they’re also vulnerable to damage and corruption. At Aberdeen Data Recovery, Scotland’s #1 USB stick data recovery lab, we have 25 years of experience recovering data from even the most severely damaged flash drives.

Here are the top 10 USB stick faults that require our professional intervention—and how we safely and successfully recover your data.

1. Physical Damage (Broken USB Connector)

Problem: The USB plug is bent, snapped, or detached.
Recovery Method:

• Micro-soldering the connector to a donor board.

• If PCB is damaged, perform a chip-off recovery and extract raw data from the NAND flash.

2. Accidental Deletion of Files

Problem: Files are unintentionally erased.
Recovery Method:

• Use forensic-grade recovery software to scan unallocated sectors.

• Reconstruct deleted file structures from file system metadata.

3. Accidental Formatting

Problem: The drive is formatted, wiping all files.
Recovery Method:

• Clone the USB drive to prevent overwriting.

• Perform deep sector scans to extract residual file data and rebuild directory structures.

4. File System Corruption

Problem: Drive becomes RAW or shows as unformatted.
Recovery Method:

• Repair or rebuild file system tables (FAT32, exFAT, NTFS).

• Extract files using low-level sector mapping and integrity checks.

5. Controller Failure

Problem: Drive is not detected due to a faulty controller chip.
Recovery Method:

• Bypass or replace the failed controller.

• Use monolith and chip-off techniques to access raw flash memory directly.

6. Water or Liquid Damage

Problem: USB stick is exposed to moisture or submerged in water.
Recovery Method:

• Dry and clean the circuit using anti-corrosive solutions.

• If necessary, extract NAND chips and read them independently.

7. Read/Write Errors

Problem: The USB stick is detected, but files can’t be opened or copied.
Recovery Method:

• Clone drive to isolate unstable areas.

• Recover intact data using error-correction and pattern-matching algorithms.

8. Electrical or Power Surge Damage

Problem: Drive is dead or overheated after power issues.
Recovery Method:

• Diagnose and replace damaged circuit components (transistors, capacitors).

• Restore power flow to safely extract the NAND data.

9. NAND Flash Degradation (Wear & Tear)

Problem: Frequent use causes data loss due to worn memory cells.
Recovery Method:

• Use specialized tools to read weak or degraded NAND sectors.

• Perform error-level correction to retrieve viable data.

10. Partition Table Corruption

Problem: Drive appears blank or has “unallocated” space.
Recovery Method:

• Reconstruct the partition map and volume boot records.

• Recover file contents using forensic partition repair software.
