I was given a 2 GB Olympus memory card purchased new on eBay. Half way through a 4 week trip to the UK, the card stopped working. When we returned home, our computer couldnt read it, so we took it to Olympus to be told it was a counterfeit card. They would have nothing to

After a trip to Italy for my 1st overseas holiday my CF memory card suddenly stopped working. Payam got over 4000 of my photos back for me after the manufacturer’s tech support told me nobody could help and to buy a new one. I’m so happy they could help! Thank you so much!

I couldn’t be happier with the service I got from Payam. I saw 4 different companies before them who told me they would not be able to retrieve my lost photos. I was very distraught as I had just been on my first overseas holiday. Payam were able to get every single photo back. I

PAYAM has again recovered my files and work history within the time frame that i needed them back. I would recommend this service to anyone who thinks that their files are lost forever. Payam’s knowledge and professional service make a distressing occurrence a walk in the park. Cheers Payam.

After losing my photos on a trip of a lifetime, I was quoted $1700 from a local Canadian company to retrieve my photos due to the complicated nature of my data loss problem. Devastated, I thought my photos were lost forever. After what seemed like endless searches, I heard about Payam through an online blog

Upon discovering Payam online, and experiencing issues with the manufacturer of the external hard drive, I was reluctant that the data on my device would ever be recovered. Payam took the time to explain step by step the process, and showed visibility the whole way through. A special thank you to Lachlan and Keith for

Our memory card decided to pack it in right at the end of our overseas holiday :S, so we tried an unnamed data recovery company who wanted several hundred $ just to attempt the recovery! We took it to Payam and we had the data recovered,copied to a huge 32gb usb and back to us

That desperate sinking feeling of your hard drive failing can spoil your whole day. Thanks to Payam within a few days I had all my data recovered and back in my new computer.

Amazing! We had a corrupted SD card with a month of travel video – they helped us retrieve it all and mailed it to our next hostel. Very professional and service minded personnel.

Has your memory card stopped working or have you lost important files? Don't panic, we can help!

I have a problem with my memory card, what should I do first?

Stop trying to use it, do not take any new photos/videos or copy any new data to it. Do not try plug it into card readers or computers. The less you use it, the better the chances that your data can be successfully recovered in good condition.

Can you recover my data?

Yes, there is a very good chance. We work on faulty and damaged memory cards every day, as well as cards that have been reformatted or had files deleted.

If you have deleted files or reformatted the memory card, it’s critical to stop using it. Do not take any more photos or use the card at all. Remove it from your camera and make sure nobody writes any new data to it. Once data is overwritten, it is usually not recoverable.

Most problems can be fixed, it’s usually just a matter of our very highly skilled data recovery engineers spending time, effort and commitment to go through the steps needed to get your important photos, videos and other files back.

In certain cases, it is not possible to recover data from memory chips that are cracked (e.g. If MicroSD card is physically cracked in half), but most problems can be fixed. Sometimes very quickly, some problems may take a lot longer. But we don’t give up easily.

Payam Data Recovery has the best-equipped data recovery labs in the world for memory card data recovery.

We use tools including Soft-Centre Flash Extractor (from Russia), Visual Nand Reconstructor by Rusolut (Poland) and Ace Labs PC-3000 Flash (Russia), as well as our own custom-made tools. Our labs have the biggest collection of memory chip readers on the planet, as well as BGA rework/chip removal machines, soldering iron/heat gun and other tools and chemicals needed to professionally repair memory cards> we can even remove the memory chips using our chip-off extraction method.

What is your success rate?

In around 98% of cases we see, we can recover all data from a faulty, damaged, corrupted, or reformatted Memory card. Most problems can be fixed, it simply takes a lot of time and effort. The only problems that we can’t fix (that we believe nobody else can either) are a cracked memory chip or overwritten data (e.g. If you have a Memory card that had 1GB of photos that you reformatted it and filled it up again with 20GB of data, there is a good chance your old 1GB of data has been overwritten and may not be recoverable). In some rare cases, we can only recover part of your data. But we will not know until we try, and we always try our best.

Certain types of memory chips, and some types of memory cards, may be much more difficult than others. This means we need to spend a lot more time, or in some cases only partial recovery is possible. We will always aim for a 100% perfect result, and if this is not possible, you can decide whether what we recover is any use.  If you are not happy, we will refund 100% of your payment.

We are one of the few companies in the world with all the best technology and equipment for memory card data recovery. We do the work ourselves among our New Zealand and Australian offices. Everything will remain 100% private and confidential as we do the work within our own company.

If for any reason the data is not recoverable using standard methods, you may be offered our special lab services as an optional upgrade service at additional cost. Special case lab projects may take a lot longer but to help you and get your data back, we will try very hard and put the time and extreme level of hard work and effort to help you. Often these are due to an unknown layout or new technology, requiring months of research for a project that would normally be deemed not recoverable by any other data recovery companies around the world.
