eek, if it's heating up it sounds like there's nothing you can do

Hi All,

I needed some help regarding the recovery of a physically damaged SD card. 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.
