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.
You sure about the crush? It may be hacked, the hacker must've stole your funds. Check transactions in your wallet.
He would have already described it as a hack rather than a crash. Tell me how can a hacker specifically crash a PC? Because crashed PCs can't be hacked as they are not on, and hacker needs remote access even to get into that PC when it's switched on.
Op, please tell us did the method(s) work for you?
I had same issue but I was unable to recover any of my older files, a crash in which I lost 0.5 BTC, I didn't try too hard afterwards because BTC wasn't even $1k (speaking about times when we were in 2016).
