Our Disk Imager was able to see it but disk imaging – although starting well – would take over 30 hours as the drive was resetting randomly every 4-5 seconds. Not good […]

We received this water damaged DELL XPS 13 from a longtime customer. It was literally waterlogged and kept leaking as we were opening and taking parts out. Luckily we managed to extract the SSD in time, get it cleaned and dried out and we managed to perform a perfect recovery of all the data including […]

Yesterday we got this iMac in for repair. The customer had been ignoring issues for a while and tried to upgrade the OS to try and fix some slowness issues when it crashed.
