Cell Phone Data Recovery
(CPU Swaps)
Sometimes a cell phone motherboard is too damaged to repair, whether from prolonged exposure to ocean water or severe physical impact. In cases like these, traditional repairs may not be possible, but data recovery is still achievable if the two critical components—the CPU and the flash storage chip—remain intact.
On newer iPhone and Samsung models, the CPU is responsible for encrypting all data stored on the flash storage chip. If either of these components is cracked or damaged beyond repair, data recovery becomes impossible. However, if they are still functional, we can perform a CPU swap, transferring both the CPU and flash storage chip onto a working donor motherboard. This allows us to boot the phone temporarily, enabling a full backup and data extraction.
Our specialized facility in Delaware is fully equipped for complex CPU swap procedures, ensuring the highest chances of success for even the most severely damaged cell phones, including iPhones and Samsung devices. If you need professional data recovery or motherboard repair in Delaware, trust our team to help recover your valuable information.
Cell Phone CPU Repair
All iPhones and all Samsung and Android devices running Android 7.0 or later require a fully functioning CPU for any data recovery. Unlike older models, we cannot simply extract data from the storage chip, as it is encrypted.
The CPU must communicate with the logic EEPROM on the motherboard to retrieve the decryption keys needed to access your data. In other words, the only way to recover data from an iPhone or Samsung device is by getting the phone to power on.
In some cases, the CPU can become damaged due to a hard drop or improper removal by another technician using incorrect methods. If the CPU is removed incorrectly, the delicate pads underneath can rip off the chip, making data recovery nearly impossible without specialized repair. These pads must be carefully reconstructed before reinstalling the CPU onto a working donor motherboard.
Our Delaware-based repair center specializes in CPU repair and intricate micro-soldering techniques. We can restore damaged traces on the CPU itself, ensuring the best chance of a successful recovery. Jobs like this require precision and patience, sometimes taking several hours depending on the extent of the damage. If you need expert CPU repair or data recovery for your iPhone, Samsung, or other cell phones in Delaware, trust our experienced technicians to handle even the most complex cases.
Hard Drive Data Recovery
We provide expert in-house hard drive data recovery in Delaware, utilizing state-of-the-art tools and techniques to recover data from even the most severely failed hard drives. Our facility features a Class 5 clean room and advanced PC-3000 technology from Ace Labs, ensuring the highest success rates for hard drive recovery.
One of the most common failures in a hard drive is head failure. The read/write heads inside the hard drive are responsible for accessing data stored on the platters. When they fail, the drive becomes unreadable, and the heads must be carefully replaced in a dust-free environment. Using specialized tools like the PC-3000, we can extract data even from drives with extensive damage. Very few companies in Delaware have the advanced equipment and expertise required to handle these complex recoveries.
There are four main causes of hard drive failure:
- Bad Sectors: Over time, hard drives naturally degrade, developing bad sectors—sections of the disk that can no longer be read. This can cause freezing, slow performance, or total inaccessibility.
- Firmware Issues: Hard drives rely on internal firmware stored in a special service area. If this firmware becomes corrupted, the drive may fail to function properly, making your data inaccessible.
- Damaged PCB: The printed circuit board (PCB) on a hard drive controls its interactions with the computer. If the PCB is damaged due to power surges or electrical failure, the drive will stop working.
- Crashed Heads: This is one of the most severe types of hard drive failure. When the read/write heads crash, they produce a clicking sound, indicating that the Head Stack Assembly (HSA) needs replacement. Without this repair, data cannot be retrieved from the platters.
Hard Drives With Damaged Platters or Contamination
If your hard drive has been opened outside of a dust-free environment, it may have been exposed to dust, debris, and other contaminants that can further damage its internal components. Even the smallest particles can interfere with the read/write heads, making data recovery more difficult. To prevent further data loss, the platters must be carefully removed and cleaned in a controlled environment. Our facility is equipped to handle this process, ensuring that contamination does not spread or worsen the damage.
In some cases, when the read/write heads crash, they can scratch the surface of the platters where data is stored. While this type of physical damage reduces the chances of a full recovery, partial recovery is still possible. The extent of recoverable data depends on how deep and widespread the scratches are. If the damage is minimal, we can extract large portions of data, but if the scratches are severe and affect critical system areas, the recovery may be more limited.
Each hard drive failure is unique, and platter damage requires a case-by-case approach. A thorough inspection can determine the level of damage and the best course of action to retrieve as much data as possible.
Regular Data Recovery Software vs Ace Lab’s Data Recovery Tools
Software available online is not powerful enough to recover data from failing hard drives and can sometimes cause irreversible damage. Most standard data recovery programs operate through Windows or macOS, but they are not designed to handle physically degraded hard drives. When these programs encounter bad sectors, they often get “stuck” and repeatedly attempt to read the failing areas. This process can take days and, in some cases, worsen the damage by further degrading the platters, making data recovery even more difficult or impossible.
To safely recover data from a failing hard drive, specialized tools are required. This is where advanced data recovery equipment like Ace Labs and DeepSpar tools come into play. Unlike regular software, these professional-grade tools allow us to stabilize the hard drive and bypass bad sectors, ensuring that as much data as possible is recovered efficiently and without causing additional harm. Once the bulk of the data has been retrieved, we can then go back and attempt to extract any remaining information from previously unreadable sectors.
Using the right recovery approach is crucial when dealing with failing hard drives. A proper evaluation and professional tools can make the difference between a successful recovery and permanent data loss.
SSD (Solid State Drive) Data Recovery
Unlike traditional hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs) store data across multiple NAND chips on a printed circuit board (PCB) rather than on spinning platters. This design offers improved speed and reliability, but it also introduces unique failure points that can lead to data loss. Recovering data from a failed SSD requires specialized knowledge and tools, as SSD failures differ significantly from mechanical hard drive failures. Our Delaware-based data recovery facility is equipped to handle these complex SSD failures with advanced recovery techniques.
SSDs can fail for several reasons, including degraded NAND chips, corrupted firmware, or damaged PCB components. If the issue stems from a faulty PCB, skilled technicians can perform board-level repairs to restore communication between the SSD and the system. In cases where the damage is more severe, advanced recovery techniques may be required.
One of the most common SSD failures involves a malfunctioning translator, which prevents the drive from correctly mapping stored data. When this happens, traditional recovery methods won’t work. Instead, we use specialized tools to upload a loader to the SSD’s RAM and rebuild the translator, allowing access to lost files. This process requires precision and expertise, as SSD architecture varies across different manufacturers and models.
For more complex cases, data recovery may involve manually transferring NAND chips to a new, functional donor board. This meticulous procedure is sometimes the only option when the original PCB is beyond repair. By carefully reattaching and reprogramming the NAND chips, it becomes possible to reconstruct the SSD and retrieve critical data.
SSD failures can be unpredictable, but with the right tools and expertise, data recovery is often possible. Our Delaware data recovery specialists have the experience and technology necessary to handle SSD failures of all types, ensuring the best chance of a successful recovery.
Flash Drive & SD Card Data Recovery
Flash-based storage devices, such as USB flash drives and SD cards, provide convenient and portable data storage. However, their compact design and reliance on NAND flash memory make them susceptible to failure, often leading to inaccessible data. Whether due to physical damage, controller failure, or firmware corruption, recovering data from these devices requires specialized expertise and advanced tools. Our Delaware-based data recovery lab is fully equipped to handle complex flash storage failures, ensuring the best possible recovery results.
How We Recover Data from SD Cards & Flash Drives
🔹 SD Card Recovery: SD cards often fail due to controller issues, firmware corruption, or physical damage. To recover data, we bypass the controller entirely by soldering wires directly to the SD card’s pinouts, allowing us to extract raw memory data at the lowest level. This precise technique enables us to retrieve data even from heavily damaged cards.
🔹 Flash Drive Recovery: When a USB flash drive fails, it often results from a damaged PCB, a broken connector, or a controller malfunction. In these cases, we carefully desolder the NAND flash chip from the PCB and use specialized chip readers to extract the raw data directly. This method ensures that data can still be recovered even if the device itself is no longer functional.
However, simply extracting raw data from an SD card or flash drive is not enough to restore usable files. Flash-based devices use a controller algorithm that scrambles, interleaves, and manages the data for speed, durability, and wear leveling. As a result, an initial data dump appears as a jumbled mess rather than organized, readable files.
Advanced Data Reconstruction
Once the raw NAND data has been extracted, the next critical step is reconstructing it into accessible files. Using sophisticated software like PC-3000 Flash from Ace Labs, we analyze the unique scrambling patterns imposed by the device’s controller. Our team then carefully rebuilds the data structure, reassembles fragmented file systems, corrects bit errors, and restores files to their original, usable state.
Recovering data from flash-based storage requires more than just standard recovery tools—it demands a deep understanding of NAND flash memory architecture and controller algorithms. Our Delaware data recovery specialists have the expertise and technology needed to handle even the most complex flash storage failures, ensuring the highest possible success rates.
Chip Off Data Recovery On Old Android Devices
If your Android device runs Android OS 6.0 or below and has suffered severe damage, we offer chip-off data recovery in Delaware to retrieve lost data. This method is used when the motherboard is beyond repair due to a failed CPU, a fractured board, or extreme liquid damage.
How Chip-Off Data Recovery Works
In older Android devices, data is stored on a flash storage chip. If the phone cannot power on, we carefully remove this chip and extract data directly from it. Since older devices lack full-disk encryption, we can bypass passcodes and access your files.
When is Chip-Off Recovery Needed?
- Severe motherboard damage – Cracked or broken boards prevent normal recovery.
- CPU failure – A dead processor makes the phone unresponsive.
- Water damage – Corrosion can destroy key components.
Using specialized tools, we safely extract and reconstruct your data. Our Delaware recovery lab is fully equipped for even the most complex Android recoveries.
MacBook Data Recovery
Newer MacBooks no longer have removable SSDs, meaning that if the motherboard fails, the only way to recover your data is by repairing the original board. Unlike older models where the SSD could be swapped into another device, Apple has integrated storage directly onto the motherboard, making data recovery much more complex.
If your MacBook has suffered liquid damage, a power surge, a shorted component, or won’t turn on, the only solution is motherboard-level repair. Our skilled technicians specialize in micro-soldering and component-level repairs, allowing us to restore functionality long enough to safely extract your data.
We understand how valuable your files are—whether personal memories, business documents, or essential work data. That’s why we provide MacBook data recovery services for Delaware, offering professional, secure, and efficient solutions to retrieve your lost files.
