the wallet file contains json which is a human readable data storage format. it wouldn't be binary code like you've pasted above.
Topic: Electrum Hacked or Corrupted (Seed lost) FML! (Read 691 times)
I wonder if there is any chance at all that it is Electrum on your computer that got hosed and maybe NOT the wallet? Its a long shot but I'ld give it a try. Do you know how to find your wallet on your computer. What if you take that small wallet file and attempt to open it on another computer with Electrum? Again, a long shot but what do you have to lose other than a few minutes just to know for sure.
After backing up (saving) your wallet file, can you create a new wallet using that Electrum on the computer where YOUR current wallet won't open? I am just trying to eliminate Electrum "hosed" as opposed to a corrupted wallet file.
Give it a try and let us know.

So my Electrum wallet won't open and when I open the wallet file in notes it gives me 00010101000101 and so on.
I lost my seed it was in my backpack and that was stolen a few weeks ago but it wasn't noted saying electrum seed or anything related just the 13 random words on a notecard.
What do you think happened hacked or corrupted? Everything else on my hard drive works fine it's only that one file. I really need to recover my wallet it has $1,000 on it

Sounds corrupted, got any backups?
Thoughts?
A backpack seems like the worst place for a
No I don't have any backups I don't understand it's only this one file that went corrupt.
can you just post the screen shot of the error ,i am not aware of this error and i am using electrum for a long time without any problem
Go to electrum data and look into wallet folder for your back up
