Laptop Data Recovery Services

Data recovery from laptop computers, all manufacturers of laptops and laptop hard disk drives. Data recovered from laptops with dead hard disks, clicking hard disks and data recovered from laptops that no longer boot or blue screen. We can recover your data from standard laptop hard disk drives and recover data from all types of 1.8" hard disk drives.

As laptop (or notebook) hard disk drives (HDD) are very small in comparison to desktop hard disk drives, the internal mechanics are miniature versions of their desktop counterparts, and so special tooling, equipment and handling procedures are required to recover data from laptop hard disk drives.

Typical failures that we have seen with laptop hard disk drives are mainly due to electronic or mechanical failure, where either the drive does not spin at all, or if it does, then 'ticking' or 'crunching' noises can sometimes be heard when switching on the computer - this particular problem is mainly due to an internal head amplifier failure or, more seriously, a head crash or misalignment problem - most of time, the data is recoverable.

MjM Data Recovery Ltd offer a range of cost options based upon the urgency

• Standard data recovery service is 2-4 days
• Priority data recovery service is 1-2 days
• Emergency data recovery service is within 24 hours

and for those on a low budget or where the data required is non critical we offer a 7-14 day turnaround.

Success Rate for data recovery on laptop hard disks

A very high success rate for data recovery on laptop hard disks from IBM®, Toshiba®, HP®, Fujitsu®, Hitachi®, Seagate® and others.

We can recover data from all sizes of drive from 2.5" and 1.8" format laptop hard disk drives.

Seized motors ... loud grinding or rattling noises from your laptop

We are starting to see a failure mode with certain laptop hard disk drives where the motor bearing has seized. We have now developed procedures to recover data from this type of problem.

The symptoms are that the hard disks either make no noise at all as the bearing has seized or it makes loud grinding or rattling noises at start up and the drive motor stops. When attempting to restart the computer the hard disk makes very quiet 'creaking' noises or no noise at all.

The techniques and platter re-positioning and alignment systems we have developed now enable us to recover data from all manufacturers of hard disk drives with seized motors.
