When Your Files Are Gone, Act Carefully

Family photos, business records, years of email — losing access to them is stressful. Mobile Computer Repair recovers data for homes and businesses from failed, damaged and corrupted storage.

We use specialized equipment, including PC-3000 and Data Extractor systems, and keep a supply of donor drives for parts, which helps recover data from drives that won't even spin up.

Recovery isn't always possible, and every attempt carries some risk — which is why the first attempt matters. Contact us for a free consultation before trying anything yourself.

Hard Drive Recovery

Hard drives are the most common storage in computers, laptops and servers — and their moving parts are their weak point.

Problems we fix

  • Drive not detected, or detected incorrectly
  • Clicking or knocking
  • Drive won't spin
  • Computer won't boot from it
  • Unreadable folders

What's included

  • Damaged firmware (service area)
  • Failed controller boards
  • Damaged read/write heads
  • Seized motors and bad sectors
  • PC-3000 and Data Extractor systems and donor drives to copy data to a healthy drive

A real chance of recovery even when the drive appears dead; with minor surface damage, the drive itself may be repairable afterward.

What storage devices do you recover from?

Hard drives, SSDs, external drives, USB flash drives, memory cards, RAID arrays and servers.

My hard drive is clicking. What should I do?

Stop using it and call us. Clicking often means damaged read/write heads, and running the drive can make things worse.

Can I try recovery software myself first?

We don't recommend it. DIY recovery attempts can make data loss permanent.

Can you recover deleted photos?

We recover photos, videos and music from computers and removable storage.

Do you recover data from servers and RAID arrays?

Yes.

How much does data recovery cost?

The consultation is free. We evaluate the device and give you the cost before any recovery work.
