Hello, this my first time here, and today I'd like to request your help on a problem that quite tired me.
I got a 32GB Mediarange USB stick that got damaged months ago -- a stupid accident involving a thrown plushie and my plugged USB, that didn't get heavy damages, but has still disassembled . As stupid as I am, I kept using it like nothing happened, until I got that one time my computer stopped recognizing it.
However, I still managed to make a dump out of it, a process that took a while (and hopefully wasn't done in vain). The key died after I formated it back to NTFS, the format it had before it got problems, now on the last tests it wasn't even recognized as a device at all.
I bought a new USB device since, and I'd like to know if there could be a way I could get all the readable data out of that dump (there is still readable data, verified that with a hex editor)
I tried to mount this bin dump ; no luck. Someone advised me an online parsing service, but I didn't find any. Out of hope I tried to find how to retrieve the data manually, but there's too much files to do so.
What should I do now ? It's not much a problem if there's no solution since the files I had on this drive were in majority portable apps and copies of projects I planned to work on during my vacations, but I still would like to know what I could do next, if there's something to do, or if I should give up and delete this dump.
TL;DR: Got a faulty USB I managed to dump before it died. What can I do to get back all the valuable data out of this dump ?
Thank you in advance !

chkdsk /f fixed it, for a moment. Then it stopped working while in use with Ubuntu. This time, nothing fixed it, seen as a RAW device everytime.
