Data recovery for SDHC card

Could someone link me to a good free data recovery program that I could use on my Kingston 4gb SDHC memory card that is corrupted. The data should still be there.

Kingston support directed me to download.com and told me to search for "data recovery." The 1st and most popular result is Virtuallab, but the shareware version will only let you preview. To use it would cost me $40-80 which I really dont want to spend. The pictures arent worth THAT much. Maybe $10.

Once I do recover the pictures, the card should be useable after a format no?
Also, what could have caused this to happen?

I actually have no idea on this.
I'm sure the same kind of software used to recover data from HDD's would work though?

I've never had flash memory go bad on me yet thankfully.

What kind of data recovery programs are you talking about and are any of them free or reasonably priced?

The underlying problem here is if there is physical damage to the chips that store the info.

I have only had one SD card die, and was told the data was not recoverable.
