So, i’m thinking of a story and i need some tech info.

How risky is to de-solder an usb plug if the flash-drive contains important files? It would be relatively safe for someone capable, or the heat is way too risky for the chip/content?

Also there’s any (MacGyver like) way to quickly access the file or reconnect the plug without a solder while only having access to office supplies?

    there’s dosdude1 soldering away on NAND chips; this should be a walk in the park even for a hobbyist.

    as to macgyvering, the S in USB is for “serial” and such a connection needs very few wires, three if I’m not mistaken. so an absent USB connector could be fixed temporarily with clips and wires and such.
