Kingston Technology was founded in 1987 when there was a shortage of 1MB surface mount memory chips. An immigrant from Taiwan, John Tu, redesigned a SIMM card using older technology that solved the problem.

Dear Sirs of Kingston.
I am a long-time customer of Kingston branded USB sticks.
Unfortunately, one of them stopped working. It’s 16 gigs, DataTraveler 101, USB 2.0
I’ve been using this pendrive for about 10 years.
According to a technical store specialized in recovering files, the problem was with the TOSHIBA controller, whose specification is as follows:
TOSHIBA
TC58NC225068F
AL37WIBC
TODE.TAIWAN.
I have important files on this pendrive and I would love to retrieve them, including my master’s thesis.
My contact is to see if you could do this recovery work.
If it’s not possible, then if you could send me a pendrive like the one that gave the problem. According to the technician who analyzed it, he may be able to implant the memory of the defective pendrive in one that is working.
Even if the entire (complete) pendrive is not possible, this controller could be achieved, as specified above.
I will pay fair value for the service or for the entire product or for the parent, depending on the price you set.
Awaiting return. Thank you very much for your attention.
