    broken sd card

    Some how one of my kids broke my memory card now the computer wont read it. The plastic casing had a bend in it but i took the casing off and it doesnt seem that the actual inside was damage. Is there any way to recover the photos off it?

    If the casing was bent, it's likely the circuit board inside the case was too, so some of the circuit paths inside the board may be broken, making it very unlikely you'll be able to recover any photos.

    A bent SD card is something I have never seen, or heard of before.

    I've never heard of it before either but I'd imagine Keith's answer is pretty spot on.
    Gripped D80 -- Sigma 70-200 2.8 -- Nikon 50 1.8 -- sb600 -- 3 yongnuo yn-460 II's -- yongnuo triggers --

    What I'm buying next: D7000+Grip -- Nikon 17-55 2.8 -- Nikon 300 f/4 -- Tokina 11-16 1.8 -- SB-900 -- more sb-600s -- SU-800 commander unit.

    Your best bet is to send the card to the manufacturer to see if they can recover the images. Good luck! MarvinH
