Clicking, beeping, or not detected? We recover data from failed external and internal hard drives (HDD) using certified ISO Class 100 cleanroom technology.
The drive makes a repetitive "click of death" or faint beeping sound when plugged in.
The computer does not recognize the drive, or it appears in Disk Management with the wrong capacity (0GB).
Accessing files takes forever, causing Windows Explorer or Finder to crash or hang.
Accidental formatting or "File System Corrupt" errors preventing access to your folders.
We inspect the PCB electronics and test the internal heads to determine if the failure is logical, electrical, or mechanical.
If heads are crashed, we open the sealed drive chassis in our dust-free cleanroom to replace damaged components with donor parts.
We use hardware imagers to read the raw magnetic sectors, skipping bad areas to build a complete image of your data.
These sounds indicate physical failure. The “heads” (which read your data) may be stuck on the platter or broken. This is critical. Continued use will scratch the platters, turning your data into magnetic dust. We perform precision head swaps to read the data one last time.
If the drive doesn’t spin up at all, the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) may have blown a fuse or TVS diode. Simply swapping the board doesn’t work on modern drives because of unique “ROM” chips. We repair the original board or transplant the ROM to a donor board to restore access.
Hard drives run their own mini-operating system called “Firmware.” If this code gets corrupted (often due to bad sectors in the Service Area), the drive becomes a brick. We use advanced tools (like PC-3000) to patch the firmware and translate the data into a readable format.
As drives age, magnetic sectors lose their ability to hold data, creating “Bad Sectors.” Your computer will freeze trying to read them. Our hardware imagers read the drive at the millisecond level, extracting the good data and skipping the bad spots to reconstruct your files.
Whether it’s a logical error, physical damage, or a deleted file, our experts are ready to help.

We open drives in a certified ISO Class 100 Cleanroom. A single speck of dust can destroy a hard drive platter; we ensure zero contamination.
We stock thousands of "donor drives" (spare parts). This allows us to find the exact matching read/write heads for your specific model instantly.
Your drive is cloned offline. We never view your personal files unless explicitly required for verification. Your privacy is our priority.

Clicking usually means the Read/Write actuator arm is failing to find the data tracks (Servo patterns). It swings back and forth, hitting the limiter. This is a severe mechanical failure requiring a Cleanroom Head Swap.
No. Modern hard drives store unique calibration data (Adaptive Data) on the PCB chips. If you swap the board without moving this chip, the drive will not work and you might damage the data permanently.
It depends on the problem. Logical issues (software) are cheaper than Mechanical issues (cleanroom). We provide a Free Diagnostic and a firm price quote before we do any work.
If the scratch (rotational scoring) is light, we can sometimes bypass it. If the magnetic coating has been ground into dust (severe scoring), recovery may be impossible. This is why you must stop using a clicking drive immediately.
