When your SD card fails
SD and microSD cards are tiny, cheap and fragile. Many modern cards are monolithic, with no separate memory chip to remove. When the controller dies, we read the NAND directly through test points on the card itself.
Personal recovery for the files you can't replace: family photos, school work, personal records and the projects you've spent years on.
Do this first: stop using the device, don't run repair or recovery software, and don't open it. Then start a free evaluation or chat with us.

- Phone microSD photos and WhatsApp media

Our process
- Free evaluationShip it, drop it off, or request courier pickup. We log the device into chain of custody on arrival.
- Diagnosis & fixed quoteEngineers find the exact fault and send a fixed quote. Nothing proceeds without your approval.
- Monolithic NAND readWe expose the card's internal test points and read the raw memory, then rebuild files from the controller's layout.
- Recovery & verificationWe image the media, rebuild the data and send a file list so you can confirm what matters is there.
- Secure returnYour data returns on a new encrypted drive or secure download. Working copies are destroyed after you confirm.
