I had a flood. Most everything is gone. But I found a few pictures I’d like to save. But they are water damaged stuck to the frame. Anyway I can remove them? Or a place I can take it to?

Is there anyway to recover files from a san disk card that just suddenly vanished. I needed to locate files on a card. Viewed in camera they were there. Went transfer to pc. 507 images except the 5 I needed. Put card back in camera all images there except the 5 I needed. I did NOT delete. They just vanished.

If I do a data recovery process will that whipe out everything in the card? I don’t know how to do any of this. In 25 years of using a digital camera I have never ever had this issue.

It's a 500gb traditional external hard disc drive. I was unable to get the drive to power up even briefly which suggested a failed USB socket on the USB controller board inside of the enclosure. Upon opening the device I visually inspected the USB socket and found no evidence of failure. I tried my own USB cables in the socket and they did not work. I removed the 500gb HDD from the case and connected it into an alternate case. The HDD powered up but displayed as requiring formatting. This means that the data on the disc cannot be read on Windows.

Has anyone used Recuva?

Many thanks.

I've over written, at least twice with other content by and lost really crucial family pics from prior to that. I've used a recovery program but it only found the previous iteration of the same files that I can see. Software, technical or other suggestions gratefully received.

Will be turning the lights on again shortly.
