Rush Service ($250): By selecting our Rush Service on the mail-in form, your device will be prioritized, skipping ahead of the standard queue for immediate attention. With Rush Service, we will begin working on your device within 1 to 5 days. To opt in, please check the appropriate box on the mail-in form and include “Rush” in the ticket title. The standard wait time is 2-3 weeks, but with Rush Service, we charge a $250 upfront fee, and the standard diagnostic charge will be waived.
* We charge a $100 diagnostic fee for cell phone data recovery services. This fee covers the labor required to thoroughly diagnose your phone’s motherboard, assess the likelihood of successful data recovery, and provide a detailed estimate. In most cases, our initial diagnosis allows us to accurately identify the specific issue with your device and offer a comprehensive technical breakdown. The diagnostic fee will be credited toward the final cost of the recovery service, should you choose to proceed. For all other devices, diagnostics remain free of charge.
*Free return shipping if you proceed with the recovery. If you do not approve the repair, the device is unfixable, or you are outside of the USA, we will charge for return shipping.
* When you fill out the form, a ticket will automatically be opened in our system with your info. If you received a ticket number you are ready to mail in your device. Once we open your package we will send you a text/email that we are in the diagnostic process. Please make sure to put the correct return address on the mail-in form.
* If we gave you an estimate beforehand, please include the price in the form.
* For hard drive data recovery, please package your hard drive securely when mailing it to us. We have a class 5 clean room, and a PC3000 data recovery system from Ace Labs. There are only a few companies in the state of New Jersey with these tools. For hard drives you can ignore the information below.
The information below is applicable to mobile device’s.
* We must know your device’s passcode to recover your data, and we cannot bypass your iCloud locked iPhone.
* If you have an iPhone 7 Plus and below we can bypass your passcode, please contact us for pricing. If your iPhone is disabled we can only extract your data if it is on iOS 12 and below. If you have an old Android phone we can most likely bypass your code, but please ask us first before mailing it in. Lastly, If you have an android phone with a Mediatek CPU, we can bypass your code.
* If you have a Newer iPhone / Newer Android, and need to bypass the lock screen code, we can refer you to someone who does forensic data recovery but be prepared to spend $3000 – $5000 to bypass the lock screen to recover your data.
* Liquid damaged devices are only worth recovering data from as other issues may arise from corrosion in the future.
* When we extract your information all of the data will remain on the device. We will make an iTunes backup/Android backup, and then extract the files from the backup in an easy-to-read file structure. You will receive both the raw backup file and the data in file format on a USB stick. We can provide a Google Drive link with your data if the file is small.

What is the difference between a repair and a data recovery?
If we are told a phone/device is in our shop for a repair we can only spend an allocated amount of time on the device. With our no-fix no no-fee policy, we cannot put an extraordinary amount of time into a repair. We will check for common faults, and only repair the device if we can confidently warranty it. If the device has multiple issues or open-ended problems, we will deem the device a no-fix and send it back.
If a device is in our shop for data recovery, it will go straight to a master technician. With data recovery, we leave no stone unturned and we will spend as much time as needed to find the root cause of the issue. Our top priority will be to find a path to extract your data.
If a device has liquid damage, we will only provide data recovery services on the device. Once corrosion sets in from the liquid damage, the integrity of the electronics are compromised. Even if we fix the device, other components can start failing in the future.
