What We Work On

What Type of Device Do You Need Help With?

Problems We Solve

Common Data Loss Problems We Fix

Computer Won't Power On

We recover files from laptops and desktops that won't start. Whether the drive failed, the OS is corrupted, or the machine won't boot, your data may still be recoverable.

Hard Drive Clicking Noise

Clicking or grinding from a hard drive means mechanical failure is in progress. Stop powering it on — every startup attempt risks more platter damage and lowers recovery odds.

External Drive Not Detected

External drives that stop being recognized often have a fixable enclosure or file system issue. We determine whether it's the cable, bridge board, or the drive itself before any recovery work.

SSD Not Showing Up

An SSD that vanishes from BIOS or File Explorer usually has a controller or firmware failure — not always permanent data loss. We recover files from NVMe, M.2, and 2.5-inch SATA solid-state drives.

Water or Liquid Damaged Drive

Liquid-exposed drives that haven't been powered on since getting wet are often recoverable. Don't try to dry it out — bring it in as-is and we'll evaluate what's still accessible.

Broken USB Flash Drive

A snapped or bent USB connector is a physical repair before it's a data recovery job. The flash memory inside is usually intact even when the plug is completely broken off the board.

Hard Drive Won't Power On

A hard drive with no spin or response often has a PCB failure rather than platter damage — meaning the data is still intact. We evaluate the electronics before any recovery work begins.

Accidentally Deleted Files

Deleted files are usually still on the drive until new data overwrites that space. Stop using the device immediately — how much is written afterward determines what we can get back.
