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?
I agree, someone competent can do it risk free. One possibility, depending on how macguyer or prepared the character needs to be is to use pogo pins. Perhaps magnetically held in place.
