WHAT IS A MEMORY CARD?

Memory cards

Parts of a memory card

Memory cards (in any form) belong to the family of devices with FLASH technology. Their operation is very similar to USB flash drives, but with differences in the connection (due to the type and size of the card) although not so much in their internal components. The use of these devices became standardized with the emergence of cameras in the early 2000s and mobile phones.
They consist of a connector, the electronic board with various components, a controller, and one or more memory blocks for storing information. Their operation is very similar to that of USB flash drives, with certain peculiarities, but in general terms, they are practically identical.
They come in various types and sizes, along with different types of memory, although they can be divided into two types: those with a separate controller and memory block, and those that are unified in a single chip or chip, called monolithic.

PROBLEMS WITH A MEMORY CARD?

With the exception of SLC, all other technologies in FLASH devices such as memory cards present common failures in terms of memory block degradation, causing the devices to stop working at any time. In many cases, problems appear as follows:
  • The computer doesn't recognize the memory card.
  • The memory card is broken, damaged, or unreadable.
  • The files or photos stored on the memory card have been lost.
  • The memory card fails to read, or is unreadable.
  • The memory card displays strange characters when connected to the computer.
  • And physical errors such as broken or bent pins or damage to the memory block controller due to short circuits.
Trust Laby, we can recover the information from your USB flash drive.

TIPS TO AVOID LOSING DATA

Flash technology has many advantages over traditional storage, but also some drawbacks. As mentioned above, one of them is the degradation of memory blocks.

Today’s devices need large capacity and high speed to store photos and videos taken in high resolution. Today’s memory cards, thanks to new memory chips, allow high speed and capacity in a very small space. However, continuous use in mobile devices or memory cards can cause a sudden failure of these cards, either due to overheating or degradation of the memory blocks.

In addition, the vast majority of memory cards work in eXFAT (Extended FAT) format. It is a very old format, patched to be used today with large capacities (the original limit was 3.99 GB per file) but easily corruptible. 

When disconnecting from cameras, cell phones or even the computer, it is necessary to correctly eject the device to avoid data loss.

HOW MUCH DOES DATA RECOVERY FROM A
MEMORY CARD COST?

MEMORY CARD DATA RECOVERY PRICES

The price for memory card data recovery will always depend on the damage suffered by the card, together with the working hours and technical equipment required to carry out the recovery processes.

In any case, a prior diagnosis is necessary to detect the type of failure or combination of several failures. Below we detail the most common failures and the reference prices:

element
From €399 to €990 / + vat

For SSD Firmware failures:

  • SSD/FLASH electronics repair.
From €890 to €2990 / + vat

For physical failures (Controller / memory block):

  • Unrecognized devices, sudden failures, frozen drives.

If we don't recover your data, we don't get paid

These prices are indicative, to give you a reference.

If you want to know the exact cost for you, it's best to contact us and we'll give you a free, no-obligation quote.

RECOVER DATA FROM MEMORY CARD

The process of recovering data from a memory card

The most common memory cards today are CF (Compact Flash, evolving into SATA formats), SD memory cards, and those used in mobile phones and other devices, such as MicroSD. These cards present many of the same problems as pen drives, such as memory block failures (due to degradation and type of memory block), as well as other issues such as internal controller problems. Often, controller temperature problems lead to breakage of the wires connecting to the memory block. These wires are very thin and susceptible to damage.

Software

Recover MicroSD data

To perform the recovery processes on these devices, there are several methods, such as desoldering the memory block in TSOP or BGA memory cards (Photo). However, in many other cases, this process is not possible, as with microSD cards, where the controller and memory block are encapsulated. To read and extract the data contained in the memory block, microsoldering is required under a microscope to directly access the memory block. In many cases, the soldering points of these solders are unknown, so the signal analysis process must be performed using a sniffer (software and hardware that allows the graphical representation of the electronic signals to be displayed on the screen and subsequently interpreted).

Recover MicroSD data

Once the signal analysis process is complete, the wiring must be re-soldered in the correct order and all the reverse engineering processes performed to recover the information. This is a laborious and complex process in many cases, since the work the controller does to store the information within the memory block must be emulated in software: determining the position of the information, the order of the sectors, discarding defective blocks, finding the XOR or Scrambler keys, and reassembling the information to form a logical image.

WHAT DEVICES CAN WE RECOVER AT LABY?

Data Recovery from Mechanical Hard

HDD disks have as main components the metal plates (disks), where the data is stored, and the heads that are responsible for accessing the information. The most common hard disk.

SSD Hard Drive Recovery

SSDs do not move, hence the name solid state. The information is stored in blocks and no headers are required to access it. It is much more efficient and faster than an HDD hard disk.

External Hard Disk Drive Recovery

External hard disks allow us to store outside the computer all the important information of which we want to make a backup copy. But one failure can cause us to lose all this data.

iPhone, iPad, iMac or MacBook

Apple devices, including iPhone, iPad, iMac, MacBook, Mac Mini, etc. They are reliable, elegant, powerful and easy to use.

Laptop Hard Drive Data Recovery

On the laptop hard disk we store important work or home information. If a failure occurs, it can cause us to lose all this valuable personal data.

Data Recovery NAS, SAN and

A SAN, NAS or DAS disk is a compact enclosure consisting of several hard disks that are connected via a network cable to the system, hence the common name network hard disk.

Data recovery from RAID systems

RAID disks are a redundant group of independent disks. They can be HDD disks or SSD disks and together they form a storage system to distribute or replicate data.

Recovery of USB Flash Drives

Pen drives or USB flash drives consist of one or more memory blocks. They work in many cases like SSD devices (same Flash technology).

Memory Card Recovery

Memory cards are used to store information from devices such as cameras, cell phones or tablets. They differ in their storage capacity and read/write speed.

Ransomware or Virus Recovery

We recover data encrypted with viruses or ransomware. Ransomware is extortive software: its purpose is to prevent you from using your device until you have paid a ransom. Depending on the type of ransomware, either the entire operating system or only some files are encrypted.

Mobile and Tablet Recovery

In mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, recovery processes can be performed by analyzing the electronics of the damaged components or by performing the chip off process.
