  • Some recovered images may be damaged or incomplete.
  • If we suspect the card itself is the problem, it will be noted upon return.
  • No recovery is guaranteed, but our success rate is high for most types of lost images.
  • xD cards that have been reformatted in the camera are almost never recoverable.
  • Fees are for labor in attempting image recovery. Payment is due even if we can’t recover images and regardless of cause (card or camera malfunction)

What to do when you have a problem:

As soon as you notice problems with your memory card, STOP! Turn off your camera, remove the card, and bring it in to Dan’s. Once you’ve started to have problems, anything else you do can risk causing further damage to the files on your card.


Make a note of anything that might be related to the problem. Did the camera display an error message? Was the card removed while the camera was still on? Was the card dropped or damaged in any way? Did it get wet? Any additional information you have can help us.


Why do bad things happen to good pictures?

Memory cards don’t last forever, they have a limited lifespan. After being used a few thousand times, the memory cells start to show signs of wear and tear. Camera malfunctions and mechanical problems with the card itself can also cause your memory card to stop working properly.


About damaged files

Sometimes, some of the images we recover from a faulty memory card are damaged or incomplete. If we find any we'll include these pictures on your disc as well, because often part of a picture is better than no picture at all.
