Hello,
just out of curiosity. My colleague got its notebook broken (seems something got sort circuited) and it seems it took the Samsung MZ-VLW2560 drive with itself (the drive, connected to external adapter only heats and is not detected).
I had quickly used multimeter over the drive and had found out, that chip S2FPS04X01 A1708 604C858 has several pins connected or shorted to ground. I am not able to find datasheet, but I suppose its some kind of drive IC and since its in QFN-36 body, that only thing connected to ground should be the plate underneath the chip, not the side pins.
Is my analysis correct and if yes, should I search for the chip and try to replace to get the data out (colleague had already “mourned” data loss I only want to try it for learning purposes) or am I completely mistaken?
Thanks,
Regards,
Petr Sourek
