Motherboard is out, How do I retrieve files off memory?

You can try using a file recovery software like Sony 4GB Memory Stick PRO Duo. Once files are recovered, please format the drive to fat32 file system. It will then be blank, ready to write files back to it.

you may try asoftech data recovery software that helped me before, download from

Dear user,


The best solution for you is connect your phone in a pen drive mode to a computer via USB cable, through this you can see all the files saved in phone memory and the memory card, to remove any file you desire all you have to to is delete the file through the PC :)

The answer is YES if the deleted photos are not overwritten(if you continue taking more photos or put more files to the external memory). Do it as follows.

First things first: DO NOT take any more photos with the memory card(within your camera) that you want to recover photos from. Take the card out of your cam and put it in a safe place. Because if you take any more files or save any data to your memory card, you may quite possibly ruin your chances of recovery.

Then Connect the card to your computer as it should appear as a "Removable Drive" or put the card in a card reader attached to your PC.

Next, if you are comfortable with using a PC then you can download a photo recovery utility that will recover your pictures with this software called Wondershare Photo Recovery (I once used this program bounded with some other software) from the following link(the program also recover videos and music files):

Photo Recovery for Windows (if you are running Windows OS)
Photo Recovery for Mac (for Apple Mac OS X)

Remember - Do NOT try & write anything back to your camera(memory card) until you can recover the files safely!

You can retrieve those photos & if you want to maximize chances of memory card files recovery, the first thing you should do is immediately stop taking more photos or videos (with your current camera memory card) in case partial files are overwritten.

Then connect the camera (memory card) to a PC or Mac which has install a data recovery tool, check this site Digital Camera Data Recovery for a list of good and tested recovery software.

Hope you good luck! Merry Christmas!
