Even if the external connectors are damaged the larger investigation authorities will have the capability to download just the surviving memory module using replacement cables and a 'donor unit'.

If the impact is severe, it's possible that one of the pcb connections on one of the chips in the memory module (could be address decoding or the flash itself) has come adrift and the best place to fix the problem is the manufacturer.

This has nothing to do with perceived impartiality etc. etc., it's just the safest and quickest way to get the module into a downloadable state.
