Memory Card damage.....any hope?

[cindyrose444]

Has anyone ever had a memory card ran over by a car and sent it out to get the data recovered? I found a few companies that say they have done this with good results.

Is it CF or is it SD?

Think if its a CF there isn't alot of hope but if its a SD it might be ok. How bad is it?

Depends on the damage...being run over by a car isn't really descriptive of the damage.

Actually, I've read about many tests where CF cards were run over, and were just fine. I've also heard many people say that they have accidentally left cards in their pockets and run them through the washing machine, with no affect to their usefulness.
