Please respond if you have the knowledge, capability, and willingness to help.

Thanks!
$100 to transfer data from a broken flash drive to a new one is dirt cheap. Depending on how much data needs to be transferred, this can cost upwards to over $1000. Next time, don't leave your laptop on the couch.
