Restoration of micro SD

The restoration of the micro SD card may be necessary if it has stopped working or the data on it has become unavailable. Here are some steps you can take to request data recovery from a micro SD card.

1. Check the physical condition of the card: make sure that the contacts are clean and there are no visible damages.
2. Use a different adapter/card reader: sometimes the problem may be related to the adapter itself or the reading of the device.
3. Connect the card to the computer via a USB adapter: this will help determine whether the card itself or its use with specific devices is problematic (some phones have difficulties in recognizing large amounts of memory).
4. Go to “Disk Manager” (Windows) / “Disk Utility” (Mac): check the availability and integrity of the file system of your microSD cards
5. Use data recovery software:
– Recuva – a free program from Piriform;
– PhotoRec – an effective tool for working with various types of files;
– EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard – paid software but with good reviews.

It is important to remember that data recovery is not always possible and may depend on the degree of damage to the card. If all the above methods do not lead to results or the data on the micro SD card is very valuable to you, it is recommended to seek professional help from a data recovery specialist.
