Dear community,

first post and already reporting an emergency...

A few days back when turning on my Jamman Stereo, I realized I was not able to load all except for the 2 most recently recorded loops from the internal memory (slot 61 and 62 of 99) anymore. All other previously recorded loops (slots 63 to 99) are listed as "empty" loops without any stored data. Losing these loops would be prticularly painful since all of them were song ideas and unfortunately I have no backups.

I did not record or save any additional material since this incident to prevent overwriting of the data, so I assume the raw data of the must still be recoverable from the device. In fact, after installing the Jamman software for the first time, it indicates 70 MB of used space out of the 434 MB total space. Since most of the loops were relatively short (8-16 bars) 70 MB seems an appropriate size of the raw wav data making up the "lost" data, so I hope that indeed it is still there.

Problem is that (unlike other Jamman devices I heared) it is not possible to open the Jamman Stereo as a regular USB device within Windows. also in the disk management tool it is not shown as mountable drive. It does, however, show up in the device manager as a COM & LPT device even though it is connected via USB.

Long story short: Any of you have an idea how to do a recovery of the data? Last resort would be to open the device, rip out the storage and find a way to connect it to a computer.
Thing is that it is probably not going to be cheap to have some expert do that (personnaly I cant) and most probably the device will be scrap after.

Any other possibilities?

Attached a few screenshots from my PC / the Jamman software:

I would contact the manufacturer. They might be able to recover the data if you ask nicely (especially if it is under warranty).

I wouldn't open the back tbh. Could void the warranty.

Hopefully someone less clueless then me will come along with better advice......but in the meantime, start with Digitech.

EDIT: Not sure if this helps, but check out this thread on another forum (this guy had similar problem):

Here's what he said got it working:

I took a Q-tip and put contact cleaner on the Q tip and rubbed the cleaner off the Q tip on the old card's contacts, then inserted the card into the slot and worked in and out a couple of times---the JamMan started reading it!!!! I just recorded one back up track to it and it recorded and stored fine.
 
Thanks for your opinion.

Bought the device used, so its not under warrarnty anymore anyway.

For the your second point: That dude apparently used an external SD card, I am talking about the built-in internal storage...
