MicroSD corrupt and unrecoverable

[logan_izer10]

So suddenly my 32g Sandisk MicroSD card in my phone started prompting me to format cause it was unformatted. I took it out and put it into my computer. It is recognized by windows but that's about it. It refuses to format and when I try to format manually it tells me "Invalid media or Track 0 bad - disk unusable". It appears to be in RAW format. So I tried multiple software approaches to no avail. I am devastated. The first year or so of my son's life is on this card.

Recuva - "Unable to read boot sector"

ZAR - "Unable to continue: There seems to be no files on volume... Data is probably beyond repair, or something is misconfigured"

EaseUS - 'COMPLETE RECOVERY MODE' Doesn't even detect the card
'PARTITION RECOVERY MODE' No files found

iCare - Scans fine, nothing comes up

Remo Recover - No files found, No Partitions found

Wondershare Data Recovery - Shows up, File System type says "Unformatted". Scan results in no relevant data found.

Try this one.

and read the drive backwards. see if that helps. If it does let me know and we can walkthough on recovering data from the image. If not it may be beyond recovery though software means.

I ran it and first thing I noticed is that the source drive is showing up as 32MB instead of 32GB. I ran it backwards and it succeeded and saved. But it only took 3 or 4 seconds. The resulting file is also about 32 mb

hmmm yea sound like you have a real hardware issue with it. I doubt any software will be able to help with you there.
