]]> When I should replace my memory card? https://www.capitaldatarecovery.com/data-recovery/when-i-should-replace-my-memory-card/ Sat, 04 Jul 2020 02:28:54 +0000 https://capitaldatarecovery.com/?p=10626 How to avoid memory card failure in the future?

We can help you recover your photos or other data from a failed memory card or USB thumb drive; however, this article was written to help you avoid the data loss in the future. Share this useful information with others you care about.

Flash media devices can sustain only a limited number of write and erase cycles before failure. Mid-range flash media under normal conditions will support several hundred thousand to several million cycles, although write operations will gradually slow as the device ages. This should be a consideration when using a flash memory card for professional work, such as photography, recording studios, or even inside of your Android mobile phones and tablets.

The most common cause of data loss or a failure of a flash media is removal of the flash memory device while data is being written to it. Another cause is the internal power fluctuations, wear or aging.

Consider replacing your flash memory at least every 1-2 years to achieve better reliability.

If you use DSLR camera or just any digital camera with removable lens, we strongly suggest that you do not let your battery drain below 25%, as at that level, you never know whether your camera’s battery is running at true 25%, 10% of less capacity, while trying to drive the auto-focus, take a shot and also process and record the image, especially, when the raw images are used. This leads to a memory corruption as a result.

At Capital Data Recovery we have successfully recovered data from flash, USB, SD, CF cards or different brands, to name a few: Samsung, Kingston, Lexar, SanDisk, Transcend, Verbatim, and other no-name brands. We use unique in-house recovery equipment to recover corrupted or deleted files from USB drives, compact flash, smart media, secure digital cards, multimedia cards, xD cards, flash memory and other equivalent devices.

Check out our social media page for photos of successfully recovered flash media projects.

]]> Beware of scam that targets photographers https://www.capitaldatarecovery.com/security/beware-of-scam-that-targets-photographers/ Wed, 25 Mar 2020 22:21:08 +0000 https://capitaldatarecovery.com/?p=9734 Share this post with all photographers you know.
This email is sent out by scammers to many professional photographers, all over the world.

Beware of Scam that targets photographers
Beware of Scam that targets photographers

1. They request pricing and book you for a large photo session which seems to be somewhat legit at first.
2. They agree with any price you quote them.
3. Then they ask you to accept a credit card payment and e-transfer or bank transfer the amount that they pay on top of your quote to the florist or event planner. They also wish to pay full amount upfront.
4. They pay you $3500 by credit card.
5. You send the “florist” your own $1000-$2000.
6. The bank reverses fraudulent credit card charge ($3500).
7. You lose $1000-$2000.

Don’t be tricked if you receive such a request. It’s unfortunate that even photographers are being targeted now.

Please share this post with whoever you know.

]]> Windows 10 VPN L2TP nightmare (Solved) https://www.capitaldatarecovery.com/computers/windows-10-vpn-l2tp-nightmare-solved/ Sun, 28 Jan 2018 20:08:08 +0000 https://capitaldatarecovery.com/?p=9723 This is not a data recovery related post, but we are sure it will help others.
After the recent Windows 10 Creators update, my VPN L2TP connection stopped working.
If I were to connect with PPTP, it would work fine, but we don’t want to use that protocol due to its weaker security vs L2TP.
When trying to connect, this is the error message I was getting:
———
The network connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be established because the remote server is not responding. This could be because one of the network devices (e.g, firewalls, NAT, routers, etc) between your computer and the remote server is not configured to allow VPN connections. Please contact your Administrator or your service provider to determine which device may be causing the problem.

Windows 10 L2TP VPN Connection Error Message
After reinstalling the VPN server on the Synology NAS (that’s where I was connecting before), removing and adding the VPN to Windows 10… Changing the IP addresses, researching the tech forums… I thought that’s it… I need to reinstall Windows 10 on my laptop.
My two other systems running Windows 10 and Windows 7 worked fine; however, one of them didn’t want to cooperate. Since the best/easiest way to fix any windows problem is to format your drive and reinstall a fresh copy of Windows, I was tempted to take that route.
I finished a full backup of my laptop and was about to start the above formatting/re-installation when I thought…let me try this last thing…maybe that would do the trick…
– I opened the Device Manager and located the Network Adapters, WAN Miniport (L2TP). I quickly re-installed it, rebooted the laptop, and Voila!… I got the L2TP to work! I thought, well, maybe just a glitch.
Reinstalling L2TP Protocol
When I decided to connect again the next day I was greeted with that same nasty error message again. This time uninstalling the L2TP protocol didn’t work, so I was looking for a better, permanent solution. At that point I was determined that it’s something to do with the registry, so formatting the drive and reinstalling wasn’t an option anymore, as I took this issue as a challenge.
Hours of research later, I found this registry trick, which worked like a charm.
It’s a simple manipulation that would do the trick:
1 – Right-click on the bottom left Windows Start icon
2 – Select Run
3 – Type “regedit” (without quotations) and press Enter
4 – Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PolicyAgent
5 – Right click and select New > DWORD (32-bit value)
6 – Name it AssumeUDPEncapsulationContextOnSendRule
7 – Set the value to 2
8 – Reboot your computerThat’s it. You are done.

After several reboot attempts the VPN is working like before, without any problems.Share the article if you think it can help others.
