Laptop Data Recovery
Dropped it, spilled on it, or it just stopped turning on — we recover data from damaged, dead, and non-booting laptops of every brand. We work on the drive, not just the laptop, so even severe physical damage doesn't mean your files are gone.
Scenarios We Recover From
Won't Boot / No OS Found
Laptop shows 'No bootable device,' 'Operating system not found,' or goes straight to BIOS. The drive may be logically corrupted or physically failed — we diagnose first before touching the data.
Water / Liquid Damage
Liquid-damaged laptops are one of our most common recovery cases. We disassemble, ultrasonically clean the board, and extract data from the drive before any repair attempt.
Physically Dropped / Damaged
A dropped laptop can cause a head crash on HDDs or damage the drive connector. We assess the drive independently from the laptop hardware and recover data from the storage media.
Screen Dead / Won't Power On
If the laptop won't start or has no display but the drive is healthy, we pull the drive and read it directly. For physically damaged boards, we may perform board-level repair to restore power.
Blue Screen / Kernel Panic
Repeated crashes often indicate failing storage. We image the drive using hardware that can work around read errors and recover files before the drive degrades further.
Accidental Delete / Format
Accidentally formatted the wrong drive or deleted critical files? We image the drive and run file system reconstruction — deleted files are often still present in unallocated space.
Ransomware Encrypted Files
Ransomware-encrypted laptops can have unencrypted copies in shadow volumes, temp files, or unallocated space. We evaluate each case and recover what's accessible.
SSD Failure in Laptop
Laptop SSDs (M.2, NVMe, SATA) fail via controller failure or firmware corruption. We use firmware bypass and chip-off techniques for drives that won't respond.

FAQ
Can data be recovered from a laptop that won't turn on?
Yes. If the laptop won't power on but the drive is mechanically intact, we remove the drive and read it in a separate enclosure. If the drive was also damaged in the incident (e.g., a drop or liquid damage), we use appropriate physical recovery techniques.
My laptop was dropped and is now clicking — what should I do?
Power it off immediately and don't turn it on again. Clicking indicates a head crash on an HDD — every additional spin risks scoring the platters and destroying data permanently. Bring it in as soon as possible.
How much does laptop data recovery cost?
Logical laptop recovery (deleted files, corruption, won't boot) pricing depends on the device and required service. Physical recovery from a dropped or liquid-damaged laptop pricing depends on the device and required service. We provide an initial evaluation and written quote.
Can you recover from a BitLocker-encrypted laptop?
Yes — if you have the BitLocker recovery key or the account credentials that protect it. Without the recovery key, BitLocker-encrypted drives cannot be decrypted. We can image the drive and attempt recovery once you provide the key.
