People also ask
Can you recover data from a phone that will not turn on?
Often, yes—if storage is healthy. We may repair power paths to boot the phone or use board-level methods when appropriate. Severe damage or encryption limits can block access.
How much does data recovery cost?
Cost depends on device type, damage, and whether board repair is required first. We quote after inspection—no work proceeds without your approval.
Do you recover files from SSDs and hard drives?
Yes. We assess drive health, connection, and failure mode, then recommend logical recovery, repair, or specialist handoff when needed.
Will data recovery fix my device too?
Sometimes. Recovery-focused board repair may restore boot so we can extract files normally. Other jobs prioritize data only—we explain options upfront.
How long does data recovery take?
Simple cases may finish within a few business days. Corrosion, encryption, or repeated power attempts can extend timelines—we update you after the first evaluation.
