We have a memory stick full of dirty pictures which "have been damaged or corrupted" - tried to sort it out ourselves but not really great at these things. Is there anybody who could help out?

You will need a recovery program. Some are free to down load but I found the best to be by SanDisk but you have to pay for it. It gas worked for me on a few corrupt memory cards. Good luck

If you're using Windows, you could try "Recuva" (worked for me in the past).

Made by the same lot who make 'Crap Cleaner'.

And it's free.

It depends what exactly is damaged.

1, Does the device show up in windows and is it stable ? i.e. doesn't keep showing up, vanishing, showing up, making your computer go ding ding ding etc ?

2, IF the above works, can you see the files in whichever file browser you use?

3, Assuming the device appears and is stable to browse the file names...

Can you copy new known working files to the device, and once copied, unplug the device for a few, plug it back in, and copy the file off the device, and open them without problems?

Depending on where the failure occurs, would depend on the appropriate tools needed. Recovery, Repair or Correction.

If you can walk me through exactly what happens from the second you push the device in, any sounds, any signals, any signs of life, what happens with the above steps etc. I can prob make a suggestion but at the moment its kinda vague as to where and what the fault is
