Flash storage replacable?

---

Hello,

I would have bought a Galaxy Nexus a long time ago if the storage wouldn't be limited to effectively 13GB and no chance to extend the storage with a micro sdcard.

However I'm curious if it somebody would be able to replace the 16GB internal flash storage with a 32GB or maybe even 64GB module? It's certain that this person must have quite good knowledge of micro electronics.

So, would somebody be able to do this? I'm sure there would be quite a big interested people for such a device.

Possible or not?

Regards

Lenny

There is no SD card... It's made up of several chips... It's all ROM...

(ROM= Read only memory) Or, irreplacable..

Ahh, I see.

Thanks for your response.

I think he meant is it possible to rip off these ROM modules and replace them (obviously a specialist job.) He made it clear in his post that he knew there was no expandable memory.

I shouldn't think that

He mentioned "SD card"... In other words, he thought, that there is an SD (A micro sd) inside the device...


Please, a tip, for life: listen(or in this case: read), think, think again. Read/listen aain, then say something...

Well, actually I'm talking about "internal flash storage" and this hasn't to be a SD card necessarily. However, i got it

Huh, I read it as the OP was wondering if someone could solder in a replacement chip to extend the memory.

Exactly :thumbup:

This should be theoretically possible, but you'd really need some incredible soldering and desoldering skill. In fact, I think that if you tried to do this without some incredibly specialized machinery, you'd end up with a nice paper weight.
