Maya file corrupted

[JerryBond]

Hi

My gf is using maya for editing 3D stuff, and the file got corrupted. Is there a way to restore it?

 

longer:

She forgot laptop charger, but had to work so she got another weaker one.

That didn't seem like it was charging, so she took the batery out and the laptop ran with just the power from the cable.

She had a few crashes/restarts inbetween, probably because of insuficient power, which led to the corrupted file.

Also now with batery inside, laptop only displays that it is running on power through the cable, ignoring battery; any ideas about this?

 

Thanks in advance, it would really mean a lot to her if anyone can help us out!

(andmove me to the right topic if i failed to pick the right one:P)

I don't know if that's possible, she/you can ask on the Maya forums where they could maybe salvage the corrupted file and take any meaningful data from it like a few commands that made up part of her scene so she could at least get to the earlier stages, rather than starting from scratch. Also, she can try to check her temp files for any .ma or .mb files that Maya might have made, the default directory is C:\Users\YourPCName\AppData\Local\Temp
