SD card problem

55 50 Ron · May 1, 2022

Is there a way or Company that can bring a bad SD card back to life? I had many pictures on it and hadn't printed any or loaded them to a computer and now the caption says this file is empty so I fear they are lost unless there is a way to regain them that I don't know how to do.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Recovering SD card files

Here's another option:

They have some software that costs and some that is free.

I inadvertently deleted some files from an older PC a while back. Used their free-version software and got 100% back. It even found files that were there BEFORE the existing files!! But I have to admit, using the software was (for me) a little confusing at times.

There are a couple of possibilities to check for. First, make sure the device you're using to read the card can actually read it. Large SD cards are fomatted as exFAT, but older Windows computers and some newer non-Windows (e.g. Linux) computers can't read exFAT without installing additional software. Try reading the card on a different PC or the camera you last used it with.

Another possibility is the files were accidentally deleted, or the card was accidentally re-formatted. There are undelete utilities that work with exFAT. I can't make any specific recommendations because I haven't used any of them. But there's a chance of recovering all or some of you files if they were deleted or the card was reformatted.
