Recovery starts at ₹1,500 · No Recovery — No Fee on standard cases
Hard drive failures hit at the worst time — middle of a deadline, in a monsoon, when you haven’t backed up in weeks. We diagnose the failure mode first (clicking spindle, dead controller IC, bad sectors, SMART thresholds, firmware corruption), pull your data out before anything else, then replace with a faster SSD if the drive is past repair. Doorstep across Hyderabad. ₹149 visit. 30-day warranty. No Fix — No Fee.
Match the symptom — we’ll quote on the spot.
The classic failing HDD sound — head crash or motor failure. Stop using the drive immediately — every minute on can destroy more data. Doorstep pickup, data extraction first.
BSODs with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on boot — usually a failing SSD controller or bad NAND blocks. We diagnose with bench tools, recover data, then replace.
SATA / NVMe slot shows empty in BIOS. Could be cable, controller, or dead drive. Bench-test isolates which — ₹500–₹1,500 if just the cable, ₹3,500–₹12,000 if drive replacement.
3+ minute boots, applications freeze opening files, Task Manager shows 100% disk usage. Almost always a failing HDD with bad sectors or an SSD past write limits. SMART scan confirms.
BIOS or Windows pops a SMART warning — pre-failure indicator. Drive may run for days or fail in hours. Back up now or call us today.
Water on the laptop or a drop killed the drive. Liquid-damaged drives need 24–48 hr controlled drying before recovery attempts. Doorstep pickup, free initial diagnosis.
“Preparing automatic repair” loop, “Reset your PC” screen, or stuck at BIOS logo. Often a corrupted boot sector on a failing drive. We image first, then attempt repair.
Photos suddenly thumb as broken, Word docs say “file is corrupted”, partitions vanish. Bad sectors are eating the file system. Bit-by-bit image first, then file system rebuild.
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.

Need data recovery for a desktop?
Desktop hard drives, RAID arrays, and external HDDs recovered using the same tools and clean-room processes we use for laptops.
