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 are point probing tools on AliExpress that could likely be used to extract the data without having to solder, but you’ll be spending like 50$ pre tariff.
