My SD card was smashed and is no longer readable by my computer. However, the SD card is still showing up as a recognizable drive on my computer, it just isn't accessible. I have tried every free recovery software out there, ZAR, recuva, m3 recovery, virtual lab data recovery, photorec and a few more I can't remember. They all see my SD card but none can recover any data. I don't mind spending money on a good one, however I'm assuming since none of these can see the data the paid ones wouldnt either. Most of these require you to pay if you want the recovered files and they arent even able to find them. I am willing to pay for a good one but I'm afraid that there is no hope. I thought if the card was at least showing up it would work but maybe not?? What can I do. The NAND flash chips are completely intact, the controller chip is broken so that is the only physical defect I can see. However I know the actual data is stored in the flash chip so I'm still holding onto hope.
