Retrieve photos from a damaged memory stick

Asked By Weston dcruz 0 points N/A Posted on - 11/15/2011

Hi Techyv,

I have a problem with my memory stick.

Its plastic brackets broke off and now the memory stick itself won’t connect to my computer, not even on a photo kiosk.

Is there still a chance for me to retrieve the photos stored in my memory stick, and if so, can you give me step by step instructions on how to do it?

I hope you can help me.

Thank you very much.

Retrieve photos from a damaged memory stick

Hi

I am very sorry to tell you my friend. You are in a great trouble.

I also had the same problem few weeks ago.

Yes there are lots of free software’s in the internet that can recover damaged flash drives. But the capability will depend on the damage that happened to the pen drive. If the pen drive dose not connects through the USB port there is no use of any software that you are using.

So if it is damaged you can’t use it further. So the best thing you can do is go to the person who repaired Storage device and ask him to take data that contains.

But if the damage is serious if will also impossible.

Thanks
