Hey all I like to think that I'm pretty tech savvy but I'm thinking of throwing in the towel...

I have a microsdcard (kingston, 32gb) that has stopped working. I have tried various devices (laptops, tablets, smartphones) and external card readers and none of these devices detect the card at all. I tried rubbing alcohol with a cotton swab over its terminals and that didn't work either...and now i'm really stumped.


It's not detect by windows, not detect in device mgr....nothing....so is there anything else i should try, and if not...recommendations of a cheap affordable data recovery service in canada? (or willing to be shipped from canada?)

Cheap and microSD don't live together, unfortunately
Not every DR company work on monolith cards, and because there are many variations of the cards, such recovery often involves research, which isn't cheap thing to do.

More info about monolith cards and why they hard to recover

Hi Samson,

Unfortunately data recovery for micro SD card is not cheap due to the completcity of monolith structure

Ditto.

Those are difficult to handle, so expect to pay top bucks.
