And, I've tried on quite a few different occasions to restore my wallet using the seed that I took a picture of but it's not working. I hit restore, enter the seed (exactly as shown in the pic I took) and I have to name the wallet and then it says/shows "loading wallet/s" and when it's done there is no money in my Electrum wallet, it's kinda like I created a brand new wallet instead of restoring my old one.
Install electrum on a desktop pc and run it. Choose to restore from seed and restore your wallet. Then after that is done press ctrl+A or select addresses from the wallet menu. A new tab labeled addresses should appear. Go there and expand the list of "used" addresses by clicking on the arrow/+ sign next to "used". Can you see any familiar addresses there like the HEL one?
