I’m sorry to hear about your broken USB stick and the loss of your important data. I can only imagine how frustrating that must be for you. I had that problem, too. And my friends recommended nwitservices.com to me. They might be able to help you recover your data. They seem to have good reviews. It is important to find a team of experienced technicians who specialize in data recovery and who use state-of-the-art methods to recover lost data. You can try plugging it into a different USB port or even a different computer to see if it’s a problem with the port. If that doesn’t work, you can try using data recovery software to retrieve the files. However, if the reader is physically broken, it may be more difficult to recover the data.
No worries. If only the outer casing or the USB connector is damaged but the internal memory chip is intact, there’s a good chance that the data can be recovered. A professional data recovery service can handle this, as it requires delicate work. However, this can be a costly option.
Or, you can try using a USB adapter (like a SATA to USB adapter, if applicable) to bypass the broken parts and access the data.
If you have experience with electronics, you could try carefully resoldering the broken parts. Then, consider using a reliable data recovery software like 4DDiG to recover lost files effectively.
If the reader part of your USB stick is broken but the drive is still recognized, try using a different USB port or computer, or connect it via an adapter. If you can access the drive, use windows data recovery software to retrieve your important data. If the damage is severe and you can’t access it, consider contacting a professional data recovery service, In such situations, always act quickly to avoid further data loss.
