Odds are, the MicroSD card itself is not fixable - or at least, it's not fixable for any price that makes sense. A brand-new card will cost far less than anyone will charge you to fix the old one, if it can be fixed at all. My guess is, you don't actually care about the individual card itself; you care about the '''data''' that's on the card - probably photos. Yes?
Depending on the damage, the data may be recoverable by a recovery service such as [http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com|Drive Savers] in California. Such services specialize in recovering data from damaged media, and their success rate is far better than you're likely to get just by ordinary fiddling. It's worth phoning them for a free consult, to see what options they suggest; their phoneline is open 24/7. If you decide to follow that course, click my user name and you'll see my DriveSavers reseller number; that should get you a discounted price, and a somewhat better warranty.
