Hi All,
I needed some help regarding the recovery of a physically damaged SD card today and wanted to ask you which software you had used to do the same. I inserted a new cell phone's SD card into a wrong-sized card reader (which I use for a different mobile memory card) and it got stuck inside so I had to pry it out.
I guess it got scratched (although they don't show) and now when I try to read it from my PC (using the correct card reader), the system cannot detect the drive at all. Also, when I insert this card into its respective cell phone (Samsung), the phone cannot detect the card and the card gets heated. When I inserted the SD card into another phone (also Samsung), the card got very hot again and a message appeared to format the card as it is unreadable.
Basically I just need this card to get detected by the PC somehow, after that I could possible use a normal recovery software for all the pictures that are saved on it.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Sara.

Re: PC not detecting damaged SD card
Do you have an external card reader you can use to plug the microSD card into, and then plug into your PC? If not, you might want to try something like this (to see if the PC will recognize it):
Newegg.com - IOGEAR GFR209 12-in-1 USB 2.0 Pocket Card Reader/Writer - Card Readers
If the card is damaged, it probably can't be repaired, but it's worth a try.

Re: PC not detecting damaged SD card
I have never had any luck with recovering lost data from a damaged SD card. Once it is damaged you might as well kiss anything on it goodbye. You could try some of the recovery tools but most are expensive and don't guarantee success. In future you can try a program like Dropbox to backup data on a regular basis.
