Mechanical, electronic & firmware failures
Most "dead" drives are recoverable when handled correctly. We start with a non-invasive diagnosis, then move to donor-part head swaps, PCB repair or firmware reconstruction depending on what your drive actually needs. Every case is imaged sector-by-sector before a single file is touched.
- ✓Clicking / ticking heads
- ✓Drive not detected in BIOS
- ✓Burnt or dead PCB board

Hard drive questions, answered
Almost certainly not. Clicking means the heads can't read the service area — a classic clean-room repair. Power the drive off and bring it in; repeated power-ons are what turn recoverable cases into unrecoverable ones.
Logical issues start low; clean-room mechanical work costs more because of donor parts. You always get a fixed quote after the free analysis — see our pricing page for ranges.
Most drives finish in 24–72 hours. Heavily damaged media needing long imaging runs can take up to a week — we'll tell you upfront after diagnosis.
Hear clicking? Power it off — then call us.
