Recovery starts at ₹1,500 · No Recovery — No Fee on standard cases
SSD, HDD, NVMe, encrypted drives, dead laptops — data recovery is our most-asked service after a system failure. Most healthy-drive recoveries cost ₹1,500–₹3,500 and finish in 24-48 hours. Chip-level NAND reads and clean-room HDD work for the harder cases. We tell you success probability upfront before any chargeable work.
Eight common data-loss scenarios. Each has a different recovery technique.
Motherboard or screen dead, but the drive is fine. We extract files via USB enclosure, 24-hour turnaround.
Recently deleted, drive not heavily used since — logical recovery often successful. Stop using drive now.
Quick-format = recoverable. Full-format may have over-written. Logical recovery + analysis.
Mechanical failure of read/write head. Stop using immediately, clean-room work needed.
BIOS doesn’t see the drive. Controller chip failure — chip-level NAND read often recovers files.
Spill reached the drive. Often recoverable after careful cleaning, especially SSDs.
Files locked by malware. Recovery depends on the variant — honest assessment before charging.
BitLocker / FileVault. Only recoverable with key or recovery code — we help find Microsoft / Apple ID backups.
Data recovery isn’t one technique — it’s a layered escalation depending on what failed. The cheapest layer is logical recovery: the drive itself is healthy, but the file system or operating system is corrupted, files are deleted, the drive was formatted, or the laptop’s motherboard stopped working with the drive intact. We connect the drive to a USB enclosure, read it through a software tool that bypasses the corrupted file system, and pull your files. Most recoveries we do are at this layer — ₹1,500–₹3,500, 24–48 hour turnaround, very high success rate.
The middle layer is controller-level recovery, mostly for SSDs. Modern SSDs (SATA, NVMe, M.2) have a controller chip that translates between the operating system’s file requests and the underlying NAND flash chips. When the controller fails, the OS can’t see the drive at all — it appears as “not detected.” The NAND chips themselves still hold your data. We de-solder the NAND chips and read them directly on a specialised reader (a NAND programmer), bypass the failed controller, and reconstruct the file system algorithmically. Success rate ~70% for SATA SSDs, slightly lower for newer NVMe with proprietary controller firmware. ₹6,000–₹15,000.
The deepest layer is mechanical recovery, for HDDs that have suffered physical failure. Hard disk drives spin platters at 5,400–7,200 RPM with the read/write head floating nanometres above the platter surface. When the head crashes (clicking sound), the bearings fail (grinding), or the spindle motor seizes, the drive needs to be opened in a Class 100 clean-room — a particle-controlled environment where air-borne dust is kept below 100 particles per cubic foot. We partner with a clean-room facility for these cases. Recovery techniques include head replacement, platter transplant to a donor drive, and PCB swap. ₹10,000–₹35,000 depending on the severity. Success rate ~60–80%.
Encrypted drives are a special category. BitLocker (Windows), FileVault (macOS), and modern Apple silicon’s file-system-level encryption are designed by intent to be unrecoverable without the encryption key. We can extract the encrypted blob from a failed drive, but decrypting it requires either the password or a recovery key. If you have a Microsoft account linked to BitLocker, the recovery key is usually backed up to your account — we’ll guide you through retrieving it. Apple silicon Macs with FileVault similarly tie the key to your iCloud account. Without the key, the data is mathematically inaccessible — no service can break modern encryption.
What you do in the first hour matters. Stop using the drive. Don’t reboot the laptop repeatedly. Don’t install recovery software on the affected drive (it can over-write the very sectors you’re trying to recover). Don’t open the drive yourself. WhatsApp us with the symptom and the laptop / drive model, and we’ll quote the right tier of recovery before any chargeable work begins.
Free pickup. Diagnosis tells us which layer of recovery applies. Status updates each evening.
WhatsApp us, we collect from your address. Signed receipt with drive serial.
Logical / controller / mechanical — we test which level applies, share success probability.
Software tools, NAND reader, or clean-room as needed. We read everything we can.
Recovered data on USB drive or external HDD. You verify before paying.
Right tier depends on whether the drive is healthy, controller-failed, or mechanically damaged.
No Recovery — No Fee on logical recovery: if we attempt and recover nothing, you pay only ₹149. Chip-level and clean-room work are quoted with upfront probability disclosed. Free pickup & drop.
What customers ask after data loss, before bringing the drive to us.
Data recovery is rarely a standalone job — once your files are safe, these are the services customers most often need to get the laptop fully working again.
After recovering data from a failing drive, upgrading to a fresh NVMe SSD (solid-state drive) is the natural next step — we migrate your files across.
If a spill caused the drive failure, liquid damage treatment of the board is needed to stop corrosion destroying other components after recovery.
If a drop caused the drive to fail, we address the chassis, screen, and hinge damage once your data is safely recovered.
When a board-level fault has corrupted the storage controller, motherboard repair and data recovery are handled as a combined diagnostic job.
If the laptop powers on but shows nothing, we recover data from the drive first and then diagnose the display or GPU fault separately.
Once your files are recovered, a clean Windows or macOS reinstall on the new drive removes any corrupt system files that triggered the original failure.
