Under the Microscope: A Flash Drive Board, Repaired by Hand
- data-recovery
Under the microscope: the board out of a flash drive, repaired by hand. A customer's data was on this drive and the board was too far gone to read it. Instead of pulling the chip, we rebuilt the board, jumper by jumper, until the drive talked again and the data came off. That's board level work, done in house at ProTek. Got a dead device with data you can't lose? Bring it to us. 256-489-2904.

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.
