Camera short circuited - can I get my photos back?

Question

My digital camera got splashed with salt water and short circuited. The camera is unrepairable, but strangely it also seems to have damaged the memory card: it shows no photos and is unreadable on any computer, camera or card reader.  Is there a way I can access the photos on that memory card or are they gone for good?  Is there someone I can take the card to to look at it?  (UK relevent answers only please).

Hi Jojeba,

I had experienced corrupted media or accidental format of media.

I had used this free software before. I had successful recovered most, if not all, the photos in those cases. You have to access your media using a card reader.

Please note that this process can take quite a long time, depending on the size of your media.

Good luck and hope you can recover your photos.

I recommended this free program to someone else and it worked well for them.
