SD CARD RECOVERY

SD cards and MicroSD cards are the most common storage for cameras, drones, and smartphones, but they are incredibly fragile. Because they use high-density NAND flash memory in a tiny form factor, they are prone to electronic "wear out" and physical cracking.

Don’t Lose Your Memories to a "Card Error."

Is your camera telling you "Card cannot be accessed"? Did you accidentally hit "Delete All" on your latest photoshoot? SD cards are notoriously unstable, but in most cases, the data is still sitting on the memory chip. We use specialized hardware to bypass the card’s controller and read your photos and videos directly.

Common SD Card Failure Scenarios

  • Logical Corruption: The card is recognized but asks to be formatted, or files appear as "ghost" folders.

  • Accidental Deletion: Photos or videos were deleted, or the card was formatted in-camera.

  • Physical Damage: The plastic casing is cracked, the write-protect switch is broken, or the card is bent.

  • Controller Failure: The card isn't detected by any computer or camera, often due to an internal electronic short.

  • "SD Card is Blank": The device recognizes the card but shows no files, even though the storage space is occupied.

Our "Monolith" Recovery Technology

Modern MicroSD cards are "monolithic," meaning the controller and memory are integrated into a single piece of silicon. We are one of the few labs equipped to handle these:

  1. Spider-Board Probing: For cards that don't respond, we use microscopic probes to "tap" into the hidden copper traces on the back of the card.

  2. Raw Dump Extraction: We bypass the failed internal controller to pull a raw "dump" of the data directly from the NAND flash.

  3. Advanced Image/Video Reconstruction: We use specialized algorithms to piece together fragmented video files (common in 4K GoPro or Drone footage) that standard software can’t find.

  4. Salt & Corrosion Cleaning: For cards dropped in water or used in salty environments, we use ultrasonic cleaning to remove oxidation before attempting recovery.

We Support All Flash Formats

  • SD / SDHC / SDXC: Standard cards for DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras.

  • MicroSD / MicroSDXC: Small cards for phones, drones, and GoPros.

  • CF / CFexpress / XQD: High-speed professional cards used by photographers.

  • Memory Stick / M2: Older Sony-proprietary formats.

Vital Tips for SD Card Failure

  • STOP SHOOTING: If you get an error, stop taking pictures immediately. Continuing to use the card can overwrite the very data you are trying to save.

  • Do Not Format: If your camera or PC asks to format the card, click "No." Formatting creates a new file system that can make recovery much harder.

  • Keep the Fragments: If the card is physically snapped, keep all the pieces. The black "chip" area is what contains your data.
