Broken hard drive
What happened, I suspect, is that the disk was unsafely dismounted while it was still being read when I connected it. It is now broken, it could be a mechanical failure, I am not sure. In any event, the situation now is that when I try to connect it to the computer, the OS does not seem to read it and does not recognise its existence. (This happens both with PC and with Mac computers.) The disk itself makes all the “right” noises but the light indicator on the side that usually only flashes is now on continuously.

London University Recovery
I work at University College London, and I asked our IT specialist to take a look at it. However, they have only been able to recover a small proportion of the files, and they’re not 100% sure what exactly is wrong with the drive. I was wondering if you could perhaps look into it, given your experience.

The casing of my Sandisk mini USB stick has broken – cannot access files (soldering may need to be looked at). If possible, can you provide me with a quote for this work? Many thanks!

Samsung battery died and the phone does not turn on anymore, photos/videos were not uploaded to cloud (6 years worth). Can you save them for me? It’s an S6 edge completely dead need a quote to recover the data.

Retreive data from Samsung S6 Edge

I recently took my Samsung Galaxy S6 phone to the local repair shop.
This was because it had gone completely off and all attempts to reboot had failed.
The repair shop said that the motherboard was damaged and if replaced would wipe my phone.
The phone is encrypted with a lock that I can tell you.
The microusb port is also broken and so the data would be needed to be taken directly from the storage drive.
I would like to retrieve all data currently on the phone and can provide a storage device if needed.
If you need any more information please let me know.

Nokia Phone Data Recovery

i have nokia 301 candy bar phone, the motherboard has failed. i have taken it to a few places and no luck, can you help?

iPhone disabled please connect to itunes

My iphone 6s is displaying “iphone disabled please connect to itunes“. I have to connect to itunes and restore the phone which will wipe all of my data off it including my photos and videos. I am most worried about my photos and videos and was wondering if there’s any way to get them back/retreive the files as I have not backed up my phone recently.

iPhone unable to update

I have an iPhone that has started and update but as there wasnt enough space available to complete the update I have been told by the iPhone store the phone will need a restore resulting in loosing photos that are not saved to the iCloud. Are the photos able to be recovered.

I later discovered that the iPhone had error code 14 which meant that the data was no longer recoverable and my data had gone.

I have an iphone 7 265 gb

i know for a fact it acted up because it’s memory full. i really pushed the limit
i turned it off hoping it would turn on and “recognise” the face i deleted some apps and photos. but instead it went to white apple logo. wondershare didnt work. i went to 2 places and they said the emmc is damaged. Is this not retrievable? the data is more important than the phone. Again this was an error code 14.

Smashed Screen on iPhone

Smashed the screen on my iphone 6 (still turns on) and want to recover the contacts that were saved on there (it seems only have were synced with icloud I can’t access the rest). It would be great to know if this is possible and how much this would be.

Fortunately, Data Clinic (link above) were able to recover the data from my phone.

iPhone Overheating

My phone recently overheated and turned off, it then wouldnt turn back on so i thought the battery was dead i tried replacing battery and testing but it still didnt work so i tested the voltage going to battery and was only getting 1.5v but i tested motherboard and that was getting 5v so im stuck. looking to just get the data recovered not worried about phone being repaired

Once again, Data Clinic recovered the data.

I have a Seagate Backup Plus 5 TB external hardrive that stopped working, making a clicking /buzzing sound. The data on it isn’t critical but I would like toe recovery it if it’s not too expensive. I sent it to Datlabs hard drive recovery who got my data files back for me. Here are some other examples where they were able to retrieve the data.

We have been having problems with my laptop over heating. Recently my husband attempted to burn a disc unsuccessfully. The computer simply shut down and down we are not able to boot up. My IT colleague at work took a look at it, and he thinks it sounds like the platters are stuck. How much would I be looking at to get my data recovered? It is just general personal files and photographs.

Datlabs phone data recovery

In this article we talk about data recovery from CCTV, a G-RAID thunderbolt, an HP Spectre laptop and a SATA hard drive that is not responding.

Retrieve footage from CCTV

I need to talk to you about a CCTV issue.
I tried to retrieve footage on my 16 channel NVR, which had a 1TB sata drive, which at the time recorded 8 IP cams. I found that I could go back to footage from 16th Oct.
I actually need footage of the 15th Oct.
Would the footage be irretrievable ? It is most likely overwritten but I’m hoping that maybe the NVR would start to overrwrite different parts of the HD and thus it there is a likelihood that it is retrievable?
The NVR is a cheap unbranded made in China 16 channel NVR.
It records in H.264.

No files on G-Raid Thunderbolt

G-Technology G-Raid Thunderbolt Drive is recognised, but you cannot see any files as it just keeps loading. The drive then starts to crash finder, which it continues doing until you unplug it. You sometimes might have to restart the mac to get it working normally. It sounds as if the disk inside the drive is trying to start spinning but cannot.

HP Spectre laptop – Boot device not found

This is the type of drive: https://www.memory4less.com/samsung-pm981-1tb-pci-express-3-0-x4-ssd-mz-vlb1t00
It’s in an HP Spectre Laptop.
After laptop said “Boot Device Not Found” I opened the laptop. The SSD is getting very very hot.

SATA hard drive whirring and buzzing

I work in IT and I have a Customer’s SATA Laptop Hard Drive that they require accessing (If Possible) I have removed the hard drive from the Laptop and have put it into an external Hard Drive Caddy and is just whirring and buzzing every few seconds. It isn’t being recognized by Explorer or by any file recovery software. Could you quote on a possible repair and recovery please?

I have a mobile phone – Elephone P9000 Lite. Android 6.0 All the text messages were deleted about 18 months ago when the phone was replaced and sim removed so hasent been used since apart from browsing for a month. Can the text messages be restored and if so could you give an idea how much you would charge. I can bring the phone into your Chiswick data recovery centre.

A couple years ago I sent my hard drive off to be recovered but it was unsuccessful. I got a long and detailed report on why. I now have a new hard drive that I need the files retrieving from. Am I able to drop it off at your offices? I live close to Chiswick.
Also, do you have a ballpark price for hard drive recovery? I suspect it is a head crash issue as the hard drive clicks when turned on.

My external harddrive has stopped working. No light once connected to usb port. Have tried different ports and cables. The device is making a loud clicking sound when it is plugged in. Windows will not detect it.

Our Hard Drive has stopped working recently, and I am unable to access our data. I have tried removing the actual drive (it is external) and attaching that directly to our PC, but it isn’t recognised by it, making me think there is physical damage to it. Is there anything you can do to recover our data? We are located in Chiswick, London? If so, please could you give me an estimate for the price, and if we need to provide another HDD for you to save the recovered data on to?

Sony xperia xz2. Phone is completely dead. Unable to recover data from software. Need photos recovered. Can you please email with quote as don’t have working phone to receive calls at the moment.

A smashed encrophone

I have accidentally damaged my encrophone which has left me with a broken and smashed screen that I am unable to use. I haven’t backed up any of my photos, videos, contacts etc so I would really like to try retrieve all my files if I can before I try to get my phone repaired. The phone somehow seems to be working except the screen as the phone still rings and the notification light goes off. I’m really hoping someone can help me get all my stuff back off the phone. I have tried via USB and been unsuccessful as unable to type my phone’s password in due to the damaged screen.

Iphone 6s data recovery. Phone water damaged unable to turn on. The screen is also damaged – how can i retrieve the files?

My phone was dropped in water and it’s not switching on. It has a smashed screen and Google drive hasn’t saved all my photos. Looking to retrieve precious photos

I have just come across your site when I was researching as I have an encrophone that accidentally got washed and tumble dried. This was some years ago and had been advised that my data could not be retrieved so I have had to leave it. Its was the photos that I wanted as I have photos of my daughter on there. I thought there was an sd card but there wasn’t.
From what I have read I thought it would be worth contacting you to ask if it would be possible to retrieve any photos etc successfully?

Completely broken Samsung s8. Submerged in water for hours. Wondering if there’s any hope of recovery for the Notes in the phone. Phones screen is completely broken and unresponsive

I’m in the Birmingham area and have a Seagate 2TB external hard drive that’s been fine for several years. However, when I plug it in now, the white light just flashes. If I go to eject the drive, the drive is listed to eject but it’s not listed or accessible in Windows Explorer. I need a data recovery service in Birmingham.

Data Clinic Birmingham is located at 11 St Paul’s Square, Birmingham B3 1RB – here’s a link to their data recovery Birmingham page, their location is also shown on the map below.

We have a Seagate Backup Plus Slim portable drive 1TB, Model: SRD00F. I have had the hard drive for little over a year, I pulled the USB 3.0 cable out of the hard drive and the bit it plugs into came out with it meaning I can’t use it anymore and I cannot retrieve any of my files from the hard drive. Is there any way I can either have the drive fixed or retrieve the data ? The hard drive has stopped working. We are near to Birmingham city centre and need the data taking off the hard drive and putting onto something else.

We also have a 3TB Seagate Expansion Desktop Drive Model SRD00F2, SN: NA4JKF5K , PN: 1D7AP3-500 3TB. (Out of warranty).

All was going well when the house fuse tripped out. I traced the fault back to the Seagate unit that had stopped working. The adapter that came with the unit looked and smelt burnt and had stopped working. I found an old lap top lead, plugged it into the unit but it just clicked. Did it again a week later and the unit didn’t click, but made a high pitch squeak and a smell of burning. Can you get the data off the unit and how much would it cost? I can deliver it to the Data Clinic data recovery centre in Birmingham B1 1BD

I work near your data recovery offices in Manchester and Birmingham and have a Seagate Barracuda 1 Terabyte hard disk with firmware: LC15. I bought this a few years ago and after some time is broke down.
The hard disk still runs however it is impossible to read any information from it. From the noise it creates I believe the reader or the reader head is broken but the disk itself may be in relatively good condition.
I have an exact same seagate barracude 1 terabyte disk i bought along with this one that still works. I would not mind using the reader of that disk on the broken one.
The disk contains some extremely important information for me and it is vital that the information can be extracted (I am aware no-one can give me 100% guarantee). I also ask if it possible for me to be there in person as this recovery happens. ,
My hard drive has been damaged by water and it’s not working anymore. It was inside a Mac Book Pro 2012. It has been removed by a specialist in the Apple Store, but they don’t do recovery of it. I bought a case to try it in another laptop, but it doesn’t work. It’s a 256 Gb, not completely full.

When I plug in the USB the icon appears and it says it’s half full but when I open it it says ‘folder empty’. An IT technician in Bolton, Manchester at my workplace managed to recover some files however I am not really able to open them unless they are word documents (can’t open ppts and PDFs).

Laptop has recently been formatted and windows 10 installed replacing windows 7. There was data on a users profile Desktop, My Documents etc that was not backed up. Wondering if it would be possible to retrieve the data from the windows 7 profile.

2TB WD HD stopped mounting or powering up. Removed from case and booted in caddy but is asking to be initialized. I did run a recovery tool which picked up some data. Birmingham based, can you email me a hard drive recovery quote?

SSHD no longer functional. Essential data needed to be recovered in Manchester.

I own a western digital external drive ‘passport’ which was password protecged by me a year ago and now I am unble to access it as I forgot the password. Is there anything that can be done to retrieve the data?

My mother recently had her laptop fail after allowing a Windows 10 update.
We thought we had been making regular backups to a separate hard drive, but these don’t seem to have been working for a year or so.
We took the machine to a local company in Manchester, who diagnosed that they needed to completely reinstall Windows 10.
Now we can’t find any of the old files since 2016.
Is there any hope of finding a way to recover these files please? The computer is in Birmingham.

Recently my PC started running slow so I thought I would get more RAM (from 8Gb to 16Gb).
This didn’t really solve the issue.
Last week my PC was file transferring and came up with an error basically saving the destination drive wasn’t there.
This was my internal data drive (Seagate 1Tb Barracuda ST1000DM003) and I am in Manchester
With the drive still connected to the motherboard the system takes a good 10mins to get to desktop.
When it is removed my PC boot up in less than a minute.
2/10 times it can be seen as local drive G but cannot be accessed. I managed to see it in the management window as a RAW format drive (was NTFS).
I have had no luck with data recovery software as the drive is never seen/found.

I knocked my Seagate ST1000DM003 expansion over from upright to horizontal and it was on carpet so I cant understand why it has stopped working but it has. It’s not showing under file explorer but it shows under device manager with now yellow triangle. The computer is in Manchester and I am in Bury, is there a hard drive recovery clinic locally?

Why is bad sector/track remapping a limited process consuming a pool of spare sectors/tracks?
Why doesn’t the firmware/ software start to use the storage area on the disk to remap at the expense of file data lost? ie. let the linked lists grow until no useful free storage area is available, so, the disk capacity reduces over time. As the lists grow they can be extended to free areas on the disc. My Seagate Drive was dropped and now making clicking sound of death.
This is a Toshiba 1TB, external hard drive, few years old now.
Interested to know costs of fixing, potential success rate and how this is collected from me (live in Stockport, Greater Manchester) and how data is returned if successfully retrieved?

The USB jack has come off the main Seagate USB circuit; the pins on the jack have removed the copper from the circuit track, so makes it difficult to reconnect the USB jack. I am an apprentice who has a large sum of work documents on that USB stick, that I could really do with retrieving. I just wonder if this is a problem that you are aware of and can repair. Or whether you can retrieve the data? And how much it would cost?
