1. I will freely admit I am a moron.
2. I did not have a cell phone backup/data storage service. I had amazon prime and google photos, but they did not sync properly (And Amazon doesn't do videos, and google had reached the storage limit) and I lost about 1 years worth of photos and videos (Including my daughter walking for the 1st time). I lost them when I bricked my phone as it went for a swim.
3. I cannot get the phone to turn back on or connect to a computer to pull them off.
4. I likely need to use some sort of data recovery service. Does anyone have any experience with one that the liked? Lots of options including national chains, so I'm not really sure which to go with
5. I know that I will now likely pay more to recover these files than if I had just paid google for the extra storage. (See point #1)
TIA
