Physically damaged SD card

Subject: Physically damaged SD card
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2007 10:33:46 -0800
Any tips or ideas for recovering data from a physically damaged SD flash card? One of the cards I'm working with has hairline cracks in it, that appear to be getting worse with handling. I was able to recover some data off it at first, but now, no go.

I've tried several readers that I have available. Applying some physical pressure to close up the cracks seemed to help a bit at first. Typically, if I can get it to read, I can read some data, but then it un-mounts and either fails to read, or all data read contains zeros.

Mind you, in this particular instance, it's just my vacation pictures that I'd be sad to lose (first trip to London), but I've done some recovery/forensic work with flash media before, and it seems like excellent practice.
