My partner is mourning over a broken usb stick and hopes to get some of the data back. What happened was that the usb was plugged into the MacBook, the cover was shut and the battery drained fully after a while.
The problem is that the usb stick doesn't seem to register at all when plugging it into a Mac or Linux machine (also nothing in the logs when connecting it). I find this quite puzzling and think that this might point to some physical damage but wouldn't know how a draining battery could have done that...
Are there any ways to recover some of the data? Could specialists be able to recover it? Would it be worthwhile to open it and see if there is some damage? (I haven't opened it since some specialist firms seem to charge more if you have tried to open the stick yourself)
The usb stick is a SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0 64GB
Edit
I ranjournalctl -f and plugged the usb in.... no reaction unfortunately... :(
Could the damage (in theory) be something that could be fixed easily (e.g. fixing some connections) or is it definitely some high end lab type activity?
