    Recovering Data from am SDCard with Formatting Error

    There is a company that will look at my SDCard I have to send it in.
    No charge to look at it. But if they are able to recover anything they want to charge almost $1000

    At that price it's almost cheaper to just plan another vacation and remake the videos.
    It's not like photoage of a kid being born or something that is a must have.

    So it's not worth the money. I feel like they upcharge for your memories.


    So im curious if anyone has knowledge or experience doing it.

    They said if I didn't want to pay I could look into soft ware that does what theirs does.


    EasyRecovery was recommended.


    The SDCard has a few short videos and some photos of swimming with seaturtles.
    When I took the chip out and put into the computer it said formatting error.
    We had luck before putting the chip into our phone and pulling video but it didn't work.
    We then put it in the computer again and it showed that the phone had formatted (files for ringtones, pictures, etc.) But no photos or videos.

    So im curious what the likely hood is I'll be able to find the stuff on there. Or if you have a software you use instead.

    Any help is appreciated.


    Edit:
    Sorry for the typos. On mobile and it likes to change words that are spelt correctly to words used more frequently.
    Changed an to am in the title.

    Edit #2:
    I would pay to have this service done. But not $1000 for less than 30minutes of photos and video...

    I haven't ever done recovery on an SD card, but I have used EasyRecovery on an external HDD that died, got revived, and corrupted. Didn't recover everything, but I did get some very important files back. Lost some, but got some back.

    I think it's worth trying at least. And I don't think there's any recovery service worth $1000 unless you needed it to get to an even higher value of crypto or precious family photos or something.
