So yesterday I purchased approximately $1000 of bitcoins. I booted up my laptop to get the BTC address from Electrum and then shut it back down again. About 30 minutes later I started the laptop again and tried to run Electrum but my wallet.dat was then corrupted...

This is an older wallet so I'm having a hard time finding the seed from it (I have also moved since then so it's even harder). I've looked on every external drive I have for wallet backups as well as searched both of my computers filesystems.

I tried dumping the keys with pywallet, bitcointools, and wallet-recover to no avail. At this point I'm not sure what else to do. Perhaps a hex editor? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated at this point.

I'll give a reward to whoever aids me in this wallet's recovery.

Thanks in advance.
