What is a Ledger Nano and what can you do with it?
The ledger nano S is a light weight with 16.2 gramm and measures 57 x 17.4 x 9.1 mm. The 128 x 32 pixels screen and the two separated buttons let you handle your crypto assets safely. Hardware wallets like the Ledger nano devices allow you to store coins in what is called ‘cold storage’. Cold storage is the method by which private keys as well as other information (privacy) is kept away from any contact with the internet. Methods of cold storing Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (such as paper wallets) have evolved over time.
Hard-wallets are easily accessible and are a good balance of security and functionality.
Let’s have a look inside the Ledger Nano S!
Never do this with your own Ledger!
Ledger doesn't refund you nor guarantees you safety if you do so.

A short and important DISCLAIMER: Never do this at home with your own ledger. Ledger doesn't refund you nor guarantees you safety if you do so.
Which components can you find in a Ledger Nano S and where are they?
Components
- [PURPLE] Micro USB 5 pin (5v)
- [PINK] A 3,3 v AF Box regulator
- [ORANGE] One STM32F042x4 microcontroller.
- [GREEN] Two Buttons for the input
- [BLUE] One ST31H320 microcontroller (also used in credit cards)
- [YELLOW] A 12 pin LCD connector
- [RED] One 12 v ST8R00W microcontroller
- [PINK] With an inductor next to it.
The Ledger Nano S has no battery and need to be connected to a device in order to operate.
The Ledger got a hard plastic cover
which measures 57 x 17.4 x 9.1 mm
and a 128 x 32 pixels screen connected to a 12 pin LCD connector.
All 23 components on the 3 layered circuit board are made by STMicroelectronics.
In order to send and receive crypto-assets, your ledger needs to be connected via a micro USB cable to your computer or smartphone.
Right next to the Micro USB 5 pin (5v) Module
we can find the A 3,3 v AF Box
which regulates the communication with the STM32F042x4 microcontroller (Chip).
The buttons for the input are robust and very simple.
A ST31H320 microcontroller,
also used on todays credit cards is located

right next to the condensator and resistance. (R1, C6)
The 12 pin LCD connector seperates the the two microcontroller
from a third one. A 12 v ST8R00W microcontroller
located next to the inductor.
The second Button for input can be found next to it, too.

Isn’t it interesting how easy and simple a Ledger Nano S works? When do you start building your own?
Deus Ex Silicium assembled the complete Ledger Nano S and tested it.
So, the Ledger Nano S is disassembled. There is no need for you to do so anymore. Leave a comment if you enjoyed it.
Maybe you are interested now in ordering a Ledger Nano S.
