When a MicroSD card fails, the file allocation table may become compromised, leading to potential data loss. Users typically face a crucial decision: either attempt to fix the file system or copy essential data to a computer before formatting the card. Following specific guidelines can help simplify the subsequent recovery process.
Key Considerations for MicroSD Recovery
To minimize the risk of total data loss on your card, keep these two main points in mind:
-
Avoid Removing the Card: During any diagnostic checks, ensure the card remains inserted in the reader. Pulling it out can exacerbate the issue.
-
Limit Third-Party Software Use: Utilizing unverified applications can further damage the data. It’s often best to consult professionals for recovery services.
Additionally, the device where the issue occurred may further compromise the files, making it challenging to identify the root cause of the failure at home. In most cases, entrusting your MicroSD card to a reliable data recovery company is the best option for preserving your files.
MicroSD Data Recovery Case Study
At PITS Global Data Recovery Services, we specialize in recovering data from failed MicroSD cards. Recently, we received a SanDisk MicroSD card for technical evaluation. Upon receipt, our engineers conducted a thorough assessment of the device to determine its condition and the likelihood of successful recovery.
The protective plastic layer of the monolithic MicroSD card was removed, allowing our team to examine its external condition. Next, we reviewed the pinout map, which appeared promising for further action. A pinout refers to the connections that facilitate signal transmission and define circuit input/output requirements.
Recovery Process
The primary challenge was to ensure a successful data recovery process. After discussing the recovery options with the client, we obtained approval to proceed.
We began by attempting to read the surviving data from the MicroSD card using a straightforward algorithm. This approach allowed us to recover information that was inaccessible due to the loss of its file path. However, if sector damage or failure of service data occurred, specialized recovery equipment would be necessary.
During the data extraction, some file and folder names might become corrupted. While preserving the structure is crucial to avoid errors during data viewing, our engineers at PITS Global Data Recovery Services are well-equipped to handle file structure recovery as well.
Using precise tools, our team aimed to achieve maximum recovery results without causing further damage to the card. Ultimately, we successfully navigated the challenges and restored the lost files.
