Need Tech Help... broken flash drive!
Hey all you beautiful techie ladies!
I litterally had ALL of my cam material on a 4GB fashdrive (photos, vids, site/password info) and earlier today I closed the desk door with the flashdrive in the tower and broke it >:(. I took it apart hoping there was something inside that I would still be able to tap into, but it's not looking good. Does anyone know if there is a way to still reterive the information off of it? I will try to upload of picture of the mangled mess soon.
Do the rest of you save all of your content directly on your computer? I'm paranoid and think someone is going to hack in to my system and be able to get their hands on my (what once was) a plethora of content. I'm now considering buying a backup harddrive to store everything on.

I do save up my things in one of my hard drives...
Ca you take a pic of the USB as it is right now?

Sorry for the delay in respond time. I'm having router issues with my new internet service (they are coming out for a 3rd time Tuesday to fix my internet that was set up on Thursday).
I have attached a picture that shows my remainders and what it looked like to start with.

It's messed up badly :/
I don't think it can be fixed/recovered unless you knew someone who was an expert in computer forensics or you knew someone who knows stuff in electronics to re-solder it and recover the data...
Where exactly do you live? (Just country and state) maybe you can take it to a computer shop, as long as it's not geek squad...
Let me check at Overclock.net to see if something can be done...
EDIT: I posted it here. Be on the lookout for replies.

Ugh!!! USA, KY- I saw on there that you figured that much out. My only concern with taking it somewhere is that if they did figure it out, they are getting a nice eye-full of all my lovely lady parts. Guess I'm back to the grind creating new content. TY for all your help!
Re: Need Tech Help... broken flash drive!
I say don't lose hope... If there's a college campus near you where they have an engineering faculty, I'm sure they can help you out to fix that, or if there's a computer repair shop, you can try your luck there. Wha matters is that you can recover your data.
Let me see if I can contact someone from OCN and see if I can find someone who knows a shop around that area...
