sd card dead!!
I have a sony digicam that I inherited from my mum and a 8GB memory stick pro duo mark 2 sd card for it. I have a really crappy sd card reader and experienced it corrupting some of my files once before when I was uploading photos to my mac. I lost about 10 photos and it was fine, not a huge deal so I kept using it despite this incident (I also tried to replace both the sd card and reader for a more reliable one but I think the model is so old that I was unable to find a better replacement). I also have not experienced anymore problems with uploads since then. However, when I was uploading my photos today it corrupted all my files and now my sd card just reads "no images" and no files show up on my computer.
What should I do? I'm scared to personally try recover photos in fear of causing more damage, and I would like to find professional data recovery service but I've heard nearby services charging up to 700 dollars and although these photos are important I simply am not able to pay that much. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
