Hello everybody,

I’m trying to read a (probably damaged) microSD card from my computer (tried with two different computers, both Arch Linux, which can read other card without any problems). There isn’t any singal of life (no /dev/sdX, nothing with GParted, testdisk, …); the only thing that I found was in dmesg. Here’s the output of sudo dmesg | rg "mmc0":

Any idea on how to resolve?

    If you need the data, a solid state recovery specialist may be able to assist you. Surely won’t be cheap as it generally requires reading directly from the flash through soldered wires or jigs.

      Are there any recovery specialists who will give a ball park quote for data recovery from an SD card without requiring ones life story, bank account numbers and all your passwords before they will talk to you?

      Listen to this advice if the data is important to you. Also probably don’t do anything else to the card just in case you would make it worse.
