Cell Phone Data Recovery
(CPU Swaps)
In some cases, a cell phone’s motherboard is simply too damaged to repair—whether it spent hours underwater or suffered severe physical impact. But even when a phone is beyond standard repair, we can still recover your data through advanced techniques like CPU swaps, as long as the two critical components—the CPU and the flash storage chip—are still intact.
For both iPhone and Samsung devices, the CPU is responsible for encrypting all the data stored on the flash chip. If either the CPU or flash is damaged beyond repair, data recovery becomes impossible. However, when these components are still functional, we can perform a CPU swap—transferring the CPU and flash storage onto a compatible donor motherboard. This allows us to get the phone to power on temporarily, just long enough to create a complete backup.
Our New York City cell phone recovery experts specialize in advanced board-level repairs and CPU swaps for both iPhones and Samsung phones. If your device is severely damaged and won’t boot, there’s still a strong chance we can recover your important files using this highly specialized method.
Cell Phone CPU Repair
In today’s smartphones, all iPhones and Android devices running Android 7.0 or later require a working CPU to recover any data. Unlike older models, the data on these phones is encrypted and cannot be accessed by simply reading from the storage chip.
The CPU must communicate with the logic EEPROM on the motherboard to retrieve the encryption keys needed to unlock your data. This means the phone has to be powered on—even temporarily—in order to perform a successful data recovery. It’s the only way to access encrypted information on modern devices.
In some cases, the CPU may be damaged from a hard drop or improper removal by an inexperienced technician. This can tear the tiny pads underneath the chip, making recovery more difficult. These pads must be carefully repaired before the CPU can be reinstalled on a working donor motherboard.
We specialize in precision CPU repair in New York City, including trace reconstruction and reballing techniques. These jobs are extremely detailed and can take several hours to complete, depending on the extent of the damage. Whether you’re dealing with an iPhone or Android phone, our New York City cell phone repair experts have the tools and expertise to bring your data back—even from the most complex failures.
Hard Drive Data Recovery
We provide professional, in-house hard drive data recovery services in New York City, using industry-leading tools and clean-room procedures to recover data from even the most severely failed drives. Our facility is equipped with a Class 5 clean room and a PC-3000 system from Ace Labs—cutting-edge technology designed specifically for advanced hard drive diagnostics and recovery.
One of the most common hard drive failures involves the read/write heads. These heads are responsible for reading data from and writing data to the platters inside the drive. When they fail, they must be replaced in a contamination-free environment to avoid further damage. Once replaced, specialized equipment like the PC-3000 is used to extract the data safely.
There are four primary causes of hard drive failure we frequently see at our New York City lab:
- Bad Sectors: As hard drives age, they begin to develop bad sectors—areas that can no longer be read. These can cause your drive to freeze, crash, or become completely inaccessible.
- Firmware Issues: Every hard drive has a hidden service area that stores firmware critical to its operation. If this firmware becomes corrupted, the drive may stop functioning entirely.
- Damaged PCB: The printed circuit board (PCB) is the first component your computer interacts with when you plug in a hard drive. If this board is damaged, your drive won’t be recognized.
- Crashed Heads: This is the most severe type of failure. When the heads crash, they often make a clicking sound. In these cases, the head stack assembly (HSA) must be replaced to access the data stored on the platters.
Our New York City hard drive recovery team has the tools, environment, and expertise to handle all of these failure types. Whether your drive is clicking, not powering on, or completely unreadable, we’re equipped to recover your data safely and securely.
Hard Drives With Damaged Platters or Contamination
If your hard drive has been opened outside of a clean, dust-free environment, it may be contaminated with microscopic particles that can cause further damage to the internal components. We service New York City with professional hard drive data recovery and can safely disassemble the drive in a certified clean room, remove the platters, and perform a full decontamination to prevent additional harm.
In some cases, when the read/write heads crash, they can physically scratch the platters where your data is stored. While heavy scratching can limit the recovery, partial data recovery is often still possible. We carefully inspect the platters, assess the extent of the damage, and use specialized equipment to extract as much data as possible.
Platter damage is one of the most complex data recovery challenges, but with our advanced tools and expertise, we’re able to recover data from drives that others might consider unrecoverable. If you’re in New York City and dealing with a damaged hard drive, we’re here to help.
Regular Data Recovery Software vs Ace Lab’s Data Recovery Tools
Most software available online isn’t powerful enough to recover data from failing hard drives—and in many cases, it can actually make things worse. Standard data recovery programs run through Windows often get stuck on bad sectors and repeatedly try to read them, which can take days and lead to further damage. In fact, constant attempts to access bad sectors can cause permanent platter damage, making your data completely unrecoverable.
That’s why we use professional-grade tools like Ace Labs and DeepSpar, which are specifically designed for safe and efficient data recovery. These tools allow us to stabilize the hard drive and intelligently skip over bad sectors during the initial recovery process. Once the bulk of your data is secured, we can revisit the skipped areas and recover any remaining data with minimal risk to the drive.
We proudly service New York City with advanced data recovery solutions that go far beyond what typical software can offer. If your hard drive is failing, trust a professional recovery process that prioritizes both speed and safety.
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) instead of spinning platters. While this design offers improved speed and reliability, it also introduces unique failure points that can result in data loss.
SSDs can fail for several reasons, including degraded NAND chips, corrupted firmware, or damaged PCB components. If the problem lies in the board itself, our technicians can perform advanced board-level repairs to help restore access to your data.
One of the most common SSD failures involves a faulty translator, which prevents the drive from correctly mapping stored data. In these cases, we use specialized tools to upload a loader directly into the SSD’s RAM and rebuild the translator—allowing us to recover your files even when the drive seems inaccessible.
In more complex situations, we may need to remove and transfer multiple NAND chips onto a working donor board to reconstruct the drive. This precise and technical process allows us to retrieve data even when standard recovery methods fail.
We proudly service New York City with professional SSD data recovery solutions, using advanced tools and techniques to recover data from even the most complex SSD failures. If your SSD has stopped working, we’re here to help.
Flash Drive & SD Card Data Recovery
Flash-based storage devices like USB flash drives and SD cards offer convenient, portable storage—but their small size and reliance on NAND flash memory also make them vulnerable to failure. Whether due to physical damage, controller issues, or firmware corruption, data stored on these devices can become suddenly inaccessible.
We service New York City with expert flash storage data recovery, using advanced tools like the PC-3000 Flash from Ace Labs to recover data that other methods can’t. Unlike traditional recovery techniques, flash memory recovery is highly specialized due to the complex way data is stored, managed, and scrambled by the device’s controller.
How We Recover Data from SD Cards & Flash Drives
SD Card Recovery: SD cards commonly fail from controller issues or physical damage. In these cases, we bypass the faulty controller by soldering directly to the card’s pinouts to extract raw data at the chip level.
Flash Drive Recovery: For USB flash drives, we desolder the NAND chip from the board and read the raw memory using specialized chip readers. This method allows us to access the contents even if the flash drive’s board is completely non-functional.
But getting the raw data is only the beginning. Flash devices use unique controller algorithms that scramble, interleave, and manage the data to improve performance and durability. As a result, the raw dump is not readable until it’s carefully reconstructed.
Advanced Data Reconstruction
After extracting the NAND data, we use powerful tools like PC-3000 Flash to analyze the specific scrambling patterns imposed by the device’s controller. Our team then rebuilds the data structure, repairs fragmentation, corrects bit-level errors, and reconstructs your files into a usable format.
If you’re in New York City and facing a failed flash drive or SD card, we offer professional flash-based data recovery services designed to retrieve your files—even from the most complex failures.
Chip Off Data Recovery On Old Android Devices
If you have an older Android device running Android OS 6.0 or below and it’s severely damaged, we offer advanced chip-off data recovery services for customers in New York City. This method is used when the phone’s motherboard is too damaged to power on—due to issues like a failed CPU, broken board, or significant liquid damage.
In these cases, we carefully remove the flash storage chip—the component that holds all of your data—from the motherboard and extract the data directly from it using specialized tools. Since Android devices running 6.0 and earlier typically don’t use full-disk encryption, we’re able to bypass any passcodes or locks during the recovery process.
Chip-off recovery is ideal for situations where traditional repair is no longer an option. Whether your phone is completely dead or physically broken, our team can still access your important files, including photos, messages, contacts, and more.
We proudly service New York City with expert Android data recovery solutions, including chip-off methods for even the most complex cases.
MacBook Data Recovery
Newer MacBooks no longer have removable solid-state drives (SSDs), which means that if the motherboard fails, recovering your data requires repairing the original board. Unlike older MacBook models where the SSD could be removed and accessed from another system, newer models have their storage chips permanently integrated into the motherboard. This makes MacBook data recovery much more complex and specialized.
If your MacBook has been affected by liquid damage, a power surge, a shorted component, or simply refuses to turn on, we have the tools and expertise to help. Our technicians specialize in micro-soldering and advanced component-level motherboard repairs. These techniques allow us to restore temporary functionality, just long enough to safely extract your important data.
We proudly service New York City with professional MacBook data recovery solutions. Whether you’re trying to recover personal photos, business documents, or other critical files, our team is equipped to handle even the most difficult MacBook failures.
