Connect your phone via USB port to a laptop or PC You should be able to see all your files .. you can do that with your charging cable. You should be able to copy your files to the other device . If one file cannot be downloaded you identify and delete it. The rest should show up. Hope that helps

The say thing happened me, it wouldn't work in my phone so I put it in my laptop, you will need a micro SD adapter to put it in your laptop if it's a small sd card. I managed to save all the pics on it to my laptop that way then got a new card. It might work and might not, worth a try.

Download Recuva and point it at the card on your laptop

Are the pics not backed up to a cloud?

Try using some data recovery software like recuva. There are plenty if you'll look online. And for the future keep your auto sync on from the phone to your cloud account.

Download a linux live distro, boot your pc with it, plug the card in. If it still doesn't work you need to grab recovery software, most likely you will need to format the card, use quick format, with quick format you can actually recover the content with a recover software

DO NOT WRITE ANYTHING ELSE ON THAT CARD it will overwrite you was in the sectors before and you won't be able to recover. Search online there is a recovery company in city centre a bit expensive though

Fucker!

Do not click Format!

Install Recuva and use that. May take a few hours but usually gets 90%+ of files back.

Then save them to hard drive.

If you've an Android phone, they're all saved to your Google account though, so check that first.

There's a good chance that they're backed up automatically on your phone to the cloud. Check your online storage. Or pop round and take thousands of new photos with me??
