Storage and device data recovery
Stop writing.
Protect the chance.
When files disappear or a device stops reading, the next action matters. FixLabs starts with non-destructive evaluation and explains the recovery path, limits, and risk before proceeding.
01 / FirstMinimize additional writesRepeated booting, repairs, and installs can overwrite recoverable data.
02 / ScopeRecovery goals definedCritical folders and file types help prioritize the work.
03 / RiskLimits explained honestlyNo recovery method can guarantee every file or original folder structure.
04 / PrivacyData handled deliberatelyRecovered content is accessed only as needed to validate the approved result.
What we evaluate
The storage type changes the recovery.
Mechanical drives, SSDs, flash media, encrypted devices, damaged filesystems, and failing computers do not fail in the same way. The first task is identifying what kind of problem exists.
SSD and NVMe
Controller, firmware, NAND, encryption, filesystem, and device-detection problems assessed case by case.
USB and memory cards
Damaged connectors, failed controllers, unreadable filesystems, accidental formatting, and deleted data.
Failed laptops and PCs
Data-first extraction when the computer will not boot, power on, or reliably access its storage.
Device-based recovery
Recovery may depend on board repair, encryption credentials, functional display or touch, and device security.
Specialist clean-room cases
Severe mechanical drive damage may require a dedicated clean-room recovery lab rather than ordinary bench work.
Do this first
Powering it repeatedly can make things worse.
If the data matters, stop using the affected device. Do not initialize an unknown drive, reinstall the operating system, run aggressive repair tools, format the storage, or copy new files onto it.
- Write down exactly what happened before the failure.
- Keep passwords or recovery keys available, but do not place them in the shipment.
- Identify the most important folders and file types.
- Tell us about clicks, drops, liquid, heat, failed updates, or previous recovery attempts.
No recovered-data guarantee
Storage can fail beyond practical recovery, and recovered files may be incomplete or corrupted. FixLabs does not promise a specific percentage, folder structure, or file result before evaluation. We explain when a specialist referral offers the better path.
Preserve the next best chance.
Stop using the device and tell us what failed, what the data is worth, and what has already been tried. Repair shops and IT teams can apply for a White Label B2B account. Review computer and data recovery updates or the dead encrypted phone report before repeated power or reset attempts.
