From George R. Seattle, Washington USA:
IBM IC25N030ATCS04-0 laptop
- Probably, heat-related situation. Put in USB enclosure. I think the drive BIOS worked in the enclosure, but no data.
Dear Sirs,
Thanks a lot for recovering my data! Excellent service and good experience.
George R.
From Benjamin L. Malibu, CA USA:
Fujitsu MHT2040AH laptop
- Events:
The computer was on the ground and a person accidentally kicked the side of the computer (exactly where the hard drive is located).
Recovery Attempts (3 months ago):
1.) Used an enclosure to try to extract data. Failed.
2.) Tried to bypass the OS by booting Linux from a CD. Failed.
3.) Sent it to a hard drive specialist's company. They couldn't do it for under $500, so I got it back. Failed.
However, the actual hard drive was never manually tampered with.
THANK YOU! Got it all back, looks perfect...
