NVMe Liquid Damage: Mapping Corrosion Under the Microscope
- General
This NVMe drive came in with liquid damage. Before we touch anything, it goes under the microscope.
We're mapping the corrosion to see how far it spread and checking if the components on the board survived. That tells us what we're working with before it goes in the sonic cleaner.

Platter Scoring Data Recovery in Madison AL
You can only see this damage under green light. Rotational scoring. A failed head kept spinning against the platter and scored the surface in circles. We see this in our Madison, AL cleanroom more than we'd like. Every scored drive gets assessed before we promise anything. Sometimes we can image around the scoring and get most of the data. Sometimes the damage is too deep. Either way, you get a straight answer from us. Not a maybe. Not a sales pitch. If your drive is clicking or grinding, power it down and bring it to ProTek. We handle scored platter recovery for Madison, Huntsville, and all of North Alabama. The sooner you bring it in, the better your odds.
Scored Platter Data Recovery in Madison AL
That ring isn't a reflection. It's carved into the platter. A failed head dragged across the surface and engraved a ring into it. That part of the platter is gone forever. But the rest might still read. We imaged around the damaged area in our Madison, AL lab and recovered what survived. Then we told the customer exactly what made it and what didn't. That's how we do data recovery. Straight answers. No fairy tales about 100% recovery when the platter looks like this. If your drive is making noise or acting strange, stop using it and bring it to ProTek. We serve Madison, Huntsville, and North Alabama. We'll assess it honestly and tell you what's possible before you spend a dime.
Dead SSD Data Recovery in Madison AL
This PNY SSD was completely dead. Wouldn't show up anywhere. So we forced it into safe mode. Soldered a jumper, got the drive talking, then used PC-3000 to rebuild the translator and recover the data. That's the kind of recovery most shops won't touch. It takes micro-soldering and flash tools most places don't have. We do dead SSD recovery in our Madison, AL lab for Huntsville and North Alabama. If your SSD died and someone told you it's unrecoverable, get a second opinion from us. We've pulled data off drives that looked completely gone. Bring it in. We'll tell you the truth about what we can do.
