Real Cases. Real Recoveries.

A sample of recent jobs from our bench — what failed, what we did, and what the customer got back.

HARD DRIVE · CLICKING HEADS

2TB Seagate with a decade of project files — clicking on arrival

CHALLENGE

Architect's backup drive started clicking after a desk fall; 400GB of active drawings inside, no second copy.

APPROACH

Donor-matched head swap in the clean-room, then multi-pass imaging with bad-sector mapping.

OUTCOME

100% of files verified by the customer within 48 hours. Hard drive service →

SSD · FIRMWARE LOCK

1TB NVMe that vanished from BIOS overnight

CHALLENGE

Developer's boot SSD undetectable after a power cut; two weeks of uncommitted code at stake.

APPROACH

Factory-mode firmware repair rebuilt the translator tables, then full write-blocked imaging.

OUTCOME

Complete recovery including the working tree, delivered next day. SSD service →

SERVER · RAID 5 DOUBLE FAULT

Office NAS with accounts data — down on a Monday morning

CHALLENGE

4-bay NAS, two members flagged after a failed rebuild attempt; Tally and payroll inside.

APPROACH

Same-day pickup, per-disk imaging, virtual RAID reconstruction with parity solving.

OUTCOME

Full accounts database verified with their CA by Wednesday. RAID service →

RANSOMWARE · RYUK STRAIN

Home PC with every family photo encrypted

CHALLENGE

Ryuk-encrypted photo library plus a ransom demand in Bitcoin; no backups anywhere.

APPROACH

Strain analysis, partial-decryption tooling and header repair on 12,000+ images.

OUTCOME

Full library restored without paying the ransom. Ransomware service →

MEMORY CARD · FORMATTED

Formatted 128GB card with a full wedding shoot

CHALLENGE

Second shooter's card formatted in-camera mid-event; 1,800 RAW frames at risk.

APPROACH

Write-blocked imaging and RAW carving tuned to the camera's file structure.

OUTCOME

All 1,800 frames recovered, gallery previewed same evening. Card service →

CCTV · OVERWRITTEN LOOP

Society DVR needed footage from 9 days back — on a 7-day loop

CHALLENGE

Incident footage partially overwritten by two days of new recording on a Hikvision DVR.

APPROACH

Immediate recorder shutdown, native stream carving of surviving fragments.

OUTCOME

Full incident window delivered as timestamped MP4 with report. CCTV service →

Your case could be next — with the same happy ending.
