Ok I have a customer who brought me a smashed old Toshiba tablet.. This thing is OLD tech as far as tablets go, like it takes a 19v charger, it has a discrete PCIe wireless card in it (with another unpopulated slot, presumably for a 3G modem), huge brick battery.. She is hoping to get the data off it. I was hoping I could hook it up to HDMI and a mouse (yes it has a full size USB port too) but it will not power on at all - just the charging light comes on.
So I opened it up trying to see if there was anything obviously broken or disconnected, and I found that it has a separate eMMC module. I see adapters for eMMC to MicroSD, but they have a different connector on the eMMC end (similar to the 90 degree snap-lock LVDS cable connector). This has a regular ZIF ribbon. Is this a standard pinout that I could make an adapter? I'd rather not have to desolder the chip and go that route if I don't have to. The chip is a Sandisk SDIN4C2-16G
