scratched memory card contacts - must recover photos!
We are not sure how our memory card was damaged. We were taking pictures one day, and then just a few short days later, the camera said, "write error. No Image." We took the card to the Walmart photo machines to see if they would read the pictures. Nothing happened. We then noticed that there were tiny scratches running along the metal contacts. We need these photos - our first child died the day she was born, and this memory card has the only images we have of her. We're desperate for help. Please tell me anything you have to offer for a solution. We don't want to send the card to another country for repair - it's too precious to send far away. All I can find so far is repair in Europe.

I work on Data Recovery all the time, and I'm up to my eyebrows right now in a very complicated project.
Data recovery is difficult, and many things can go wrong. Most of the things that go wrong are when a client has a limited budget, and therefore the "easier" fixes are attempted.
For something that is absolutely irreplaceable- as you have described in your post, go to a company that specializes in forensic recovery, where your media will be handled with the utmost care and regard.
My sincere condolences for your loss, and I wish you the best.

Thank you so much for your feedback. We appreciate it so so much. We were hoping for something like a personal visit to an office, and Minneapolis is only a couple or three hours away. Thank you again.
@ Johnb6767, I'm not sure what a card reader is...is that something that is separate from the camera and connection cord that we'd use to download pictures from the card?

I would suggest less interaction with the card the better.
This is what I am talking about?

Or something similar. It allows the card to show up as a drive letter in My Computer. It rules out the possibility of a bad connection nfrom the camera to the PC as well.
