My friend don't how or what he did... His SD card with the part outside
the reader was bended and internal PCB seem broken..
Reader cannot detect the card anymore..
Inside the card were his honeymoon pic...
Anyway or any place can help to retrieve the pic inside?
Thanks.
 

Oh dear ... Small shops are sim lim might be able to do it on the spot ... not sure about SD but they can do it for hard drive ... why not SD yah? can give it a try
 

might wanna try those specialist data recovery centres and see if they can assist,
but i am sure your friend will have to pay quite a sum for that.

It's different technologies..

One is solid state, one is magnetic platters... Good luck, but it may be almost impossible if the internal parts are damaged.
 

@ donchua - maybe you could ask ur friend whether he could open up the sd card's outer plastic shell to confirm if the PCB really is broken . . . if it is, then no software could help save any photos. . . but depending on where the PCB broke, he may be able to approach some electronics expert (with good soldering skills) to fix it . . . hope this helps :)

if the SD Card is not damaged but card reader is damaged juz buy a new card reader it will do but if both is damaged unless you know Someone who knows how to repair SD Card there is no way you can recover any pics if the card is not corrupted but internally damaged.

Its just the SD card reader that is bent & broken right? SD card is still ok?
If so then just buy another card reader.

If its the SD card that is bent and broken, you probably need to desolder the memory and solder to another SD card :sweat:

I think it is the SD card that is broken...

"His SD card with the part outside the reader was bended and internal PCB seem broken..."

Seems that the protruding part of the SD card outside the reader was bent.

:sweat: donchua, ask your friend to provide a close up picture of the damaged part. See if I can easily do a soldering to fix it.
