speaking from experience I know its a PIA to loose a lot of data, and as such I keep valuable data such as photographs, 3D models, word, excel documents etc on thumb drives, Blue ray disks, and on the net.
as for fixes theres 3 methods I know of
1 - Switch the PCB for one off the same make and model (will only work if PCB is damaged)
2 - Freeze it in a bag (temp solution)
3 - Drop it (absolute last resort)
