    Quite possibly, but you are probably looking at professional data recovery if the phone cannot be powered up. Which does not come cheap-it all depends what you are prepared to spend. It would be cheaper to see if the phone can be repaired first-what's wrong with it?

    hi macman

    well l put it on charge as it was on 2 bars on the battery indicator lve never let it run out completely .... and took it off when charged set my alarm, went to bed and that was it .... dead no alarm nowt

    cant throw money at it lm afraid ... they are not the only pics of the dogs that l have so not too sad but just thought there was a simple thing l could do as lm not v good with teccy things

    lve a new phone now so the lesson is to make sure pics are put onto laptop

    by the way , how do you put them on to memory card on the phone:o

    Tried a new battery then?
    Professional data recovery you might be looking at £300 upwards.

    if your new phone is an android(most likely iphone/BB too) you can get apps to automatially upload the pictures you take to web hosting

    Plug the PC lead into the handset and into the PC and see if the files are visible.
