When we can help
Situations where we recover data
Wet or dropped
After liquid or a fall. Bring it in as soon as possible and do not switch it on — corrosion progresses.
Faulty or noisy drive
A classic drive clicks or the system reports read errors. We treat it as a priority while it is still possible.
Files deleted by mistake
Deleted photos, documents or a formatted drive — they can often be recovered.
System will not start
Neither Windows nor macOS starts, but you need your files. We pull them off.
How the process works
How data recovery goes
- Diagnostics. We find out whether the drive is readable or just the laptop is broken, and what the chance of recovery is. We keep you informed of the status.
- Price by difficulty. A simple transfer from a working drive is cheap, recovery from a faulty drive is more demanding. We tell you the price in advance, before we do anything.
- Recovery. We read and copy the data. On MacBooks with a soldered SSD it is more demanding, but often possible.
- Handover. We hand over the recovered data on your new drive or storage.
- Discretion. We handle your files confidentially, only to the extent needed for the recovery.
Models we repair
Laptops, MacBooks and external drives
We recover data from laptops (Windows), MacBooks (including soldered SSDs), classic HDD drives, SSDs and external drives and USB sticks. For physically damaged drives we tell you the chance of recovery after diagnostics.
The most important rule when data is lost is to stop using the device — writing to the drive reduces the chance of recovering deleted files. On MacBooks with an Apple chip the data sits on a soldered and encrypted SSD, which complicates recovery, but it is often still possible.
Frequently asked questions
What you ask most often
Can data be recovered from a laptop that will not turn on?
In most cases yes — if a laptop does not turn on, the drive is usually fine and we pull the data off it.
How much does data recovery cost?
It depends on the condition of the drive. A transfer from a working drive is cheap, recovery from a faulty one is more demanding. We tell you the price in advance, after diagnostics.
Can you recover data from a MacBook with a soldered SSD?
Often yes, although it is more demanding than with a replaceable drive. We tell you the chance after diagnostics.
I deleted files by mistake — can they be restored?
If not much has been written to the drive since, often yes. Bring the device as soon as possible and do not use it.
Is my data safe with you?
Yes. We handle files confidentially and only to the extent needed for the recovery.
Need to recover data?
We do not charge for diagnostics if we carry out the repair — even if the device cannot be repaired. If you decline the repair, diagnostics costs €39 incl. VAT.
