My computer crashed. I was able to retrieve the wallet.dat file but it shows a balance of 0 but I had about $2000 there. I re-scanned and re indexed but nothing. I am copying pasting wallet.dat in bitcoin folder. Please help. I am desperate. Wallet has fully synced.
Probably you have the different wallet.dat not the same where your balance is, restore from previous point where you still have accessed to your original wallet.dat, I hope you know how to restore from previous point in windows.
But if you are using linux that's a different problem that needs a different solution you need to explain every details how the computer crashed and what OS you were using so we can help you.
