Frequently asked questions

Can all lost data be recovered?

No recovery can be guaranteed. We assess the device and explain the likely options, costs and risks before work is agreed.

Should I keep using a failing drive?

No. Continued use can make damage worse. Switch the device off where practical and arrange an assessment.

Can you remove malware without deleting everything?

Often, but the safest route depends on the infection and system condition. Important files should be backed up where possible.

Do I need to send my password online?

No. Please never put passwords in an online form. If access is required for testing, we will discuss a secure method with you.

Not sure what repair you need?

Bring the device in for assessment or tell us what happened through the booking page.
