Repair Damaged JPG Files: Recover 1500+ Lost Photos from Laptop Service & External Drive

Hello.

I will try to briefly describe the problem.
I do not live in Poland because all complaints will not help. Some time ago I gave my laptop to the service (cleaning the hardware and format). The kind "professional" played the folders that I wanted to keep on the external drive. I picked up the computer the next day and here I made a mistake. I only checked if the files that I care about are on the computers (photos on the thumbnails are ok). Unfortunately, after leaving the country it turned out that all .jpg files are damaged. Below are examples:


I am depressed, two years of travel and memories. Over 1500 photos ...
Is there a chance to repair these files? Can someone recommend a good program?

Thank you for every advice.

If the technician made a copy and then re-loaded it on the same drive, it may be that it will no longer be repairable.
Unless a copy of the files has been delivered on another medium (there is a possibility of recovering them from the HDD) - so how was it?

You can use Jpeg repair or Photo Repair, Jpeg file recovery, Adroit Photo Recovery, Picture doctor, JPEG Repair Shop 1.0 to repair photo files.

The servicer has copied the files to the external HDD and then back to the laptop. At what point the files came out - I have no idea.

With a little luck, it can work. It is necessary to scan the entire disk in the DMDE program - maybe you can find unreleased photos from before repair.

Adroit was the topic. Because the pictures are mass, the program works all the time. According to the program, about 30-40% of photos will be completely repaired, the rest is partially repaired and it looks much better on preview. It's great anyway.
I want to know after scanning what is the final effect!
Thanks!

The best solution was to not run anything and apply this # 5. .
The problem is probably related to https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodowanie_Huffman
and rather, an efficient double-fix repair is not an option.

Unfortunately, it's the same again - preview on the super thumbnails - photos taken apart. Repair files failed. And the recovered photos are worthless, because these are photos recently fired, older phot were not found.

I'm starting to lose hope.

Is it reasonable to go with some specialist?

If the data is valuable, I do not recommend "some".
Basically, you should not run this disk, use live distribution, run a DMDE scan and then you can specify what will be recoverable. Click repair programs will not help.

Cut this picture, lots of mistakes, it's hard to know what should be there.

Hello, can anyone help with the damaged photos. I will be grateful for the pooc

Files can not be recovered. They look like they've been copied from a damaged or fake memory card.

And how do I have all the files on the phone because that's where all the photos with error are, is there a chance to save something?

Ie? Could you be brighter? Did you copy good photos from your phone to another device and then become damaged? If they are already damaged and on the phone, you probably will not do anything about it. The question is on what original device the files were saved?

I made a copy of the photos from the phone to the card and after this process I had an 80% unreadable photo so I did a reverse maneuver, copying the photos from the card to the phone without success.

You did it as badly as you could, because before re-uploading on the phone, the photos were probably legible on the phone (or how they were transferred could be extracted from the phone's memory), and now they are unrecoverable. The fault is probably a damaged / fake memory card.

So you can not do anything about it? And it is not that after copying from the card to the phone pictures on the card, there was no trace of the pictures as if, for example, from the card to delete the photo?

If you have a way to connect your phone to a computer, try to download it directly to the disk.
If they are not readable after this process, nothing can be done.

Of course, we're talking about original files, not copied in these and back.
