// DATA RECOVERY

When the device fails, the memories don't have to

Photos, documents, chats, business files, we attempt recovery from dead phones, failing drives and water-damaged machines, with your privacy treated as seriously as your data.

  • Free evaluation before any commitment
  • No recovery guarantee without diagnosis
  • Data privacy-first handling, end to end
  • Clear written quote, you approve before we proceed

Honest recovery, handled like it's our own data

Data loss rarely announces itself. A phone that won't switch on after a drop, a hard disk that starts clicking, an SSD that vanishes from the BIOS, a folder emptied by mistake, and suddenly years of photos and work files are out of reach. The most important thing you can do right now is stop using the device: every write, restart and 'repair tool' attempt can overwrite the very sectors we need.

We'll be straight with you, because this field is full of overpromising: No recovery guarantee without diagnosis. Data privacy-first handling. Every case starts with a free evaluation where we identify the failure, logical, electronic or mechanical, and tell you honestly what's recoverable, at what cost, and at what confidence level. Only then do you decide.

Your privacy is structural, not a slogan. Devices are handled by authorised technicians only, recovered data goes onto a fresh drive or secure handover medium of your choice, nothing is copied to our systems beyond the working clone, and working copies are wiped after handover. We never browse, sample or share your files, recovery is performed at the file-system level, not by reading your content.

// What we fix

Common data faults on our bench

Spot your symptom below, every job opens with a diagnosis and a clear quote, never with a screwdriver.

2–5 days

Phone data recovery

Recovery of photos, videos, contacts, documents and chat backups from Android phones and iPhones that crash, boot-loop or fail to mount storage. Logical recovery first; board-level escalation when needed.

  • Phone stuck on logo or boot-looping
  • Storage shows empty after a crash
  • Photos and contacts missing after an update
2–5 days

Laptop data recovery

Recovery from Windows laptops and MacBooks that won't boot, blue-screen or show corrupted partitions. We image the drive first and work only on the copy, so the original is never put at further risk.

  • Laptop won't boot past the spinner
  • Operating system reinstalled over your files
  • Partition shows as RAW or unallocated
3–10 days

Hard disk recovery

Internal and external HDD recovery, drives that click, beep, aren't detected or spin without mounting. Mechanical failures are assessed carefully; we tell you upfront when a case needs clean-room escalation.

  • Clicking or beeping sounds from the drive
  • Drive not detected in This PC / Finder
  • Transfers fail midway with I/O errors
3–10 days

SSD & NVMe recovery

Recovery from SATA and NVMe SSDs that disappear from the BIOS, freeze the system or fail after firmware faults. SSD failures behave differently from spinning disks, early diagnosis matters even more here.

  • SSD no longer detected in BIOS
  • System freezes whenever the drive connects
  • Capacity suddenly reads 0MB or wrong size
1–3 days

Deleted file & photo recovery

Recovery of files emptied from the recycle bin, lost to accidental formatting or wiped by a factory reset gone wrong. Success rates are highest when the device hasn't been used since deletion, bring it in untouched.

  • Files deleted and bin emptied
  • Card or drive formatted by mistake
  • Folder vanished after a sync conflict
3–7 days

Water-damaged device recovery attempt

Controlled recovery attempt on phones and laptops after liquid exposure: corrosion treatment, board stabilisation, then extraction. Liquid cases are genuinely uncertain, we quote only after seeing the board, never before.

  • Device dead after rain, spill or submersion
  • Turns on but storage won't mount
  • Visible corrosion near the ports
5–10 days

Dead-phone data extraction

Board-level extraction from phones that are completely dead, no charge, no vibration, no display. Where the storage chip and its controller path survive, data often does too, even when the phone itself is beyond repair.

  • No response to charging or button combos
  • Phone died after a fall or short circuit
  • Service centre declared the phone dead
1–3 days

Memory card & pen drive recovery

Recovery from SD cards, microSD cards and USB pen drives that corrupt, demand formatting or stop being detected. Common with cameras and dashcams, and very often recoverable if you stop using the card immediately.

  • Card asks to be formatted on insert
  • Photos show as broken thumbnails
  • Pen drive detected but won't open

Why customers trust Zerofix with their data

My drive with five years of family photos started clicking. They were honest that recovery isn't guaranteed, diagnosed it first, and quoted only after. Got back 96% of my files in four days, handed over on a new drive. Data privacy was clearly taken seriously.

// DATA RECOVERY FAQS

Asked before every booking

  • No honest lab can, and you should be wary of anyone who promises 100% before opening the device. Our policy is simple: No recovery guarantee without diagnosis. Data privacy-first handling. After the free evaluation we tell you what's recoverable, at what confidence level and at what cost, and you decide whether to proceed.

  • Recovery is performed at the file-system and sector level, we restore data structures, we don't browse your content. Only the authorised technician on your case handles the device, recovered data is delivered on a fresh drive or a medium you provide, and our working copies are securely wiped after you confirm the handover. Nothing is retained or shared.

  • Evaluation is free, and most cases are quoted only after diagnosis because the failure type decides the effort, a deleted-file job is very different from a board-level extraction. For most logical recoveries we follow a no-recovery, no-recovery-fee approach: if we can't get your agreed files back, you don't pay the recovery charge.

  • Often not. The storage chip frequently survives the fault that killed the phone, a charging short, a drop, liquid on the board. Through board-level work we can regularly extract photos, contacts and documents even when the phone itself isn't worth repairing. Bring it in as-is and don't let anyone attempt charging tricks on it first.

  • Please stop immediately, power it down and don't reconnect it. Clicking usually means the read heads are failing, and every spin-up risks scoring the platters, which can turn a recoverable case into a permanent loss. Bring the drive in untouched; the free diagnosis will tell you exactly what state it's in.
