Flash card recovery

It may be necessary to restore the flash card if it has stopped working or the data on it has become unavailable. Here are some steps that can help you regain access to the data on the flash card:

1. Try using another USB port or computer: Sometimes the problem may be related to the USB port or the computer itself.

2. Check the condition of the contact pads: Make sure that the contacts on the flash drive and in the connector are clean and not damaged.

3. Use a program for data recovery: There are many free programs for data recovery from deleted information (for example, Recuva). Run such a program and follow the instructions for scanning your memory card.

4. Format the flash drive using the command line: If all the above methods did not give results, you can try to format the card using the Windows command line (cmd.exe).

5. Seek professional help: If the device contains very valuable data or represents a large material value, it is better to contact specialized service centers that can conduct a deeper analysis and data recovery.

It is important to remember that there is always a risk of information loss when trying to restore data from a flash card. Therefore, before starting any actions, it is better to create a backup copy of all available files on another device or drive.
