Phone Data Recovery

Your phone holds years of photos, videos, messages and contacts, and losing access to them is stressful. We recover data from iPhones and Android phones that won’t turn on, are stuck in a boot loop, have a smashed screen you can’t see or unlock, or have been dropped in water. Where possible we repair the phone so it boots normally, then move your data safely onto a new phone, a USB drive or your computer. We work on iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, Motorola and most other Android brands.

Phone Data Recovery in Stoney Creek

Dead & Damaged Phone Recovery

A phone that won’t power on is the most common data recovery job we see. It usually happens after a drop, water damage, a failed battery or charging port, or a short on the board. On modern phones your data is encrypted and tied to the phone’s own board, so the phone itself has to be brought back to life before your files can be copied off.

That’s why our phone data recovery is built on board level repair. We diagnose the fault under a microscope, replace damaged components with micro-soldering, and repair the power and charging circuits so the phone boots long enough to back up your data. We check every connection on the way, because a hard drop or corrosion can damage more than one part, and a successful recovery depends on getting the whole board stable.

Hard Drive Data Recovery

Signs your device needs data recovery

Before you bring it in, stop using the device, don’t charge a device that got wet, and don’t install recovery apps on it, because every new file can overwrite the ones you want back. Bring it to our shop at 38 Centennial Parkway North for a free diagnosis. We’ll tell you honestly what can be recovered before any work starts, and your recovered files are handed back only to you.

The phone or computer won’t turn on or is stuck on the logo

The screen is smashed or black, so you can’t unlock or see anything

The device got wet and now won’t start or keeps restarting

The hard drive clicks, beeps or isn’t detected by the computer

Files or photos were deleted, or a drive was formatted by mistake

A memory card or USB drive says it needs to be formatted

Hard Drive & SSD Data Recovery

Hard drives and SSDs fail in a few familiar ways: drives that aren’t detected, computers that won’t boot, drives that suddenly ask to be formatted and files lost after an accidental delete. We recover data from internal and external hard drives and SSDs, including laptop drives, desktop drives and portable USB drives. If a drive is clicking or grinding, which points to a mechanical failure inside, we’ll stop, explain your options and tell you honestly if it needs a specialist cleanroom lab.

Laptop & MacBook Data Recovery

Laptops get dropped, spilled on and carried everywhere, and a laptop that won’t start doesn’t mean your files are gone. We recover documents, photos and work files from Windows laptops and desktops that won’t boot, have a failed screen or have liquid damage. We also work on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, where we can often repair the logic board so the Mac starts and your data can be copied off safely.

Memory Card & USB Recovery

A memory card that stops working doesn’t have to mean losing the photos on it. We recover files from SD and microSD cards, USB flash drives and camera cards that show up as empty, ask to be formatted, aren’t detected or were formatted by mistake. Stop using the card as soon as you notice a problem and bring it in, because new photos can overwrite the files you want back.

Act Fast After Water Damage

When a phone or laptop gets wet, corrosion starts on the board within hours and keeps spreading even after the device seems dry. The longer it sits, the harder it is to bring the board back to life and get your data off. Power the device off, don’t charge it, skip the bag of rice, and bring it to us as soon as you can so we can clean the board and recover your files before the damage spreads.
