## How It Works

|
|
1. **Submit & Pay Diagnostic Fee** - Create a ticket and pay the $60 diagnostic fee (tax included). Drop off or ship your drive.
|
|
2. **Diagnosis & Quote** - Our technician evaluates your drive and provides a recovery estimate based on the tier below. Your $60 is credited toward the recovery if you proceed.
|
|
3. **Recover & Collect** - Pick up recovered files on a new drive, pay the recovery fee for your tier, and you're back in business.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### What should I do right now?
|
|
Stop using the drive immediately. Don't run recovery software, don't keep trying to boot it, don't open it. Every additional operation risks permanent data loss. Power it down and bring it to us.
|
|
|
|
### How long does recovery take?
|
|
Diagnostic reports typically come within 2-3 business days. Minor recoveries take 3-5 days, major recoveries can take 2-3 weeks if donor parts are needed.
|
|
|
|
### What if you can't recover my data?
|
|
You only pay the $60 diagnostic fee. Recovery fees are waived entirely — no data, no charge.
|
|
|
|
### Is my data kept confidential?
|
|
Absolutely. We don't browse your files beyond what's necessary for recovery verification. You have 7 days after completion to review your recovered data. After that, copies are removed from our systems.
|
|
|
|
### Can you recover from water/fire damage?
|
|
Often yes, depending on the extent. Don't try to dry or clean the drive yourself. Bring it as-is and we'll assess what's possible. Water damage is very time-sensitive.
