Last December, I lost one of my memory cards for my dashcam and was pretty sure it happened in the washer because I found the SD Card adapter in one of my pants pockets but no MicroSD card. So tonight, I had just finished a 2nd load of laundry and was emptying my dryer and noticed something laying in the bottom of the dryer drum and realized it was my memory card; I think it's been stuck in the washer for months and got moved to the dryer when I transferred one of the loads from the washer! I popped the card into my computer and was able to open it, copied some video clips to it(was originally a blank card) and it copied without any issues and played the videos. I'm totally stoked, it's like getting $25 back This message has been edited. Last edited by: lkdr1989, ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

That sounds like one of those things you share in a product review.

If you lost it last December, it should be clean and have a fresh smell. I'm sorry if I hurt you feelings when I called you stupid - I thought you already knew - Unknown ................................... When you have no future, you live in the past. " Sycamore Row" by John Grisham | |||

Nice! I lost a key once. About a year later, my wife mentioned the washer didn’t seem to be draining properly. Looked it up on the internet, found a video that showed our washer had a drain trap and found the key in it. | |||

Is that a 128 mb card? Sure you didn't lose it 5 years ago? ------------------------------------- Always the pall bearer, never the corpse. | |||

If you had any financial records on the card you could've been charged with laundering money. | |||

In my experience, washing is fine, drying kills them most of the time. I'm not proud of the amount of data I have for this conclusion. | |||

Ignored facts still exist |
Static, heat, and moisture can injure electronic components, so I wouldn't' trust that card for anything important. It may work for the moment, but it's life may end at any time, due to the stresses it's been under. If it were me, I'd just get my data off of it, break it for security reasons, it and toss it away. ---------------------- Let's Go Brandon! | |||

I thought those were "dry flat" only. Nice. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

I'm a photographer. One of my accounts for sixteen years was an Indian casino. I resisted going from film to digital as long as I could One of the events I covered for them was boxing.With film I was limited on how many rolls for five to six + hours of shooting. It really sharpened my skills. Wel in the early digital, I came home at 2:30am, stripped and threw my cloths into the wash, they I showered. The next day I realized in my vest pocket was my card. HOLY CRAP...I thought I lost the entire evenings event. Nope, every image was on it - 900 plus photos. Don't. drink & drive, don't even putt. | |||
