Memory Card Recovery Service
We will recover any photos, videos or other files that have been lost due to your memory card becoming unreadable. If we cannot recover your photos, there is no charge.
All recovered photos are saved to a CDs or DVDs and returned to you with your memory cards.
Memory Card Damage
- Static electricity can cause your memory card to become unreadable to your camera and computer. Usually your camera will not recognise your card, and your computer will prompt you to format your memory card when you insert it into your card reader.
- Physical damage can, of course, prevent you from reading your memory card, sometimes this damage is too severe to recover any photos, but until we receive your memory card, we cannot assess its potential for photo recovery (remember - if we don't recover any photos, there is no charge).
- Sometimes, where your card has been formatted on your computer then used in your camera, the photos will appear to have not been stored and your camera and computer will see only an empty card. Usually the photos can be recovered from
Sometimes, particularly when you have continued to use your memory card, after it has shown symptoms of failure, we will only be able to recover parts of certain images, this is due to the unrecoverable parts having been overwritten by the photos that you've taken subsequently.
Recovering photos that have been deleted accidentally can also suffer from the same problem. If you have continued to use your memory card, then you will have over-written parts of your cards memory that had been used to store your deleted photos.
Memory cards that have been accidentally formatted can usually have any photos successfully recovered from them. If the formatting was done in your camera, however, the formatting can, especially on older cameras, remove all traces of data from your card.
The tests that we carry out on any memory cards that we receive are extensive. If there are any photos to be recovered, we will recover them.
You can simply bring your photographs to our studio at Broadstone mill.
Snapped Memory Cards
If your memory card has snapped or cracked, we cannot repair it.There are two components to a memory card; the memory chip and the controller chip. If either of these has become damaged then we cannot recover your files.
