Your Trusted Data Recovery Partner

Accidents happen, but when they jeopardize critical data, the situation can feel overwhelming. Gabriel Wright, a freelance graphic designer from San Antonio, TX, faced this exact scenario when he accidentally spilled coffee on his laptop. The device, which contained crucial client projects, design templates, and personal memories, stopped working instantly. With no backup available, Gabriel needed urgent help to recover his data.

The Problem

The liquid spill caused significant internal damage to Gabriel’s laptop. The hard drive (HDD) became unresponsive, likely due to a short circuit and liquid-induced corrosion. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Gabriel turned to our team of data recovery experts.

Key Challenges:

  • Corrosion on the HDD’s circuit board due to the liquid spill.
  • Potential internal platter contamination.
  • Recovering data quickly to meet the client’s deadlines.

Our Evaluation Process

Upon receiving the laptop, our technicians conducted a thorough inspection.

  • The HDD was removed and carefully examined.
  • Signs of corrosion were identified on the circuit board, and there were concerns about possible internal platter damage.
  • We determined the HDD required specialized cleanroom recovery techniques to retrieve the data.

The Recovery Process

Our team followed a meticulous process to ensure maximum data recovery:

  1. Cleanroom Environment:
    The HDD was opened in a Class 100 cleanroom to prevent further contamination.
  2. Component Replacement:
    The corroded PCB (Printed Circuit Board) was replaced with a compatible donor board sourced from our extensive inventory.
  3. Data Extraction:
    Using advanced imaging software, we created a complete image of the drive’s data. This step ensured no further damage occurred during the recovery process.
  4. File Reconstruction:
    Our experts reconstructed several corrupted files, ensuring they were usable for Gabriel’s ongoing projects.

The results were outstanding.
