Liquid Damage Data Recovery

This hard drive was in a flood.

Data recovery from liquid damage depends on the kind of liquid and the extent of the damage it causes. In this case, the entire computer was submerged in water and mud. By the time we received the hard drive, only dirt remained. It covered the entire PCB and HDA.

In this case, we used our hot air gun station to carefully clean the PCB and swap the NV-RAM chip to a donor PCB. The platters and heads were dirty but thoroughly and carefully cleaned in our clean room.

We were able to recover 100% of the files for $300!

 

“A computer repair store told me they could not recover any data from my water damaged computer… 🙁 I decided to turn to Yelp, and found $300 data recovery.” –Sarah

This hard drive fell into a swimming pool.

Although the corrosion looks bad, the most important chip from the PCB was salvageable and transplanted to a new PCB. This chip contains the unique information needed to move the heads properly over the platters. The platters were inspected and cleaned in our cleanroom.

We ended up recovering all the files from this water-damaged hard drive for $300!
