Yes, will it open in PS.

Maybe a long shot with imagemagick
Is there a result with identify -verbose <your_filename>.psd
If there is one and it reports layers try devolving into separate layers and rebuilding in Gimp.
convert <your_filename.psd[1] 1.png for the base layer 
convert <your_filename.psd[2] 2.png  ..etc
