Read/Write Heads Repair or Replacement
The most common causes of the read heads failure is physical shock damage, overuse or in some cases factory faults.
We employ a combination of commercially available tools and our proprietary expertise to replace and repair read heads, ensuring access to data on the patient hard drive.
If you’re unsure whether your data storage has failed or is in the process of failing, and your stored data is critically important, we can arrange for a technician to visit your location for a thorough diagnostic assessment. This ensures accurate identification of any issues affecting your data storage, as well as other IT concerns such as networking or cybersecurity.
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and electric damage
PCB damage, including firmware damage (ROM), can prevent a hard drive from powering on or spinning up after a power surge or unsafe shutdown.
Drawing on our expertise and deep understanding of various hard drive brands and models, we adapt new logic boards to patient drives and reconstruct corrupted PCB firmware, thereby restoring access to critical data.

I cannot access my data!

Following these precautions significantly enhances the likelihood of successful data recovery.
