Data Recovery in Denver
The device died.
Your memories didn't.
A drowned phone, a laptop that won't boot, a MacBook that met a coffee, a drive that just stopped — the device may be gone, but the photos, files, and messages inside it usually aren't.
It's all on one chip.
Every photo, every thread, every file is stored on flash memory wired to a logic board — in your phone, your iPad, your MacBook, your laptop's SSD. The device around it is just the delivery vehicle, and the storage routinely survives what the device doesn't.
Board-level surgery.
Under magnification, we diagnose the board component by component — cleaning corrosion, isolating shorts, replacing failed components to restore power. Component-level work is our specialty, done right here in the shop.
Everything comes out.
Photos, videos, messages, documents, contacts, notes — extracted, verified, and transferred wherever you want them: your new device, your computer, or a drive.
Back where
they belong.
Recovery isn't always possible — and we'll never pretend otherwise. You get an honest answer after a free evaluation, and an exact quote before anything begins. The price depends on the damage and the board work required, so we quote each case, not an average.
Devices We Recover From
The hero up top is a phone, but the story is the same on anything with storage — the data usually outlives the device.
iPhone & Android phones
The most common case — drowned, shattered, crushed, or dead. Board-level work reaches the storage even when the phone is done.
iPad & tablets
Same architecture, same approach: the data lives on the board, and the board is where we work.
MacBook & iMac
Liquid spills, dead boards, machines that won't boot — including models with storage soldered to the logic board, where board repair is the only path to the data.
Windows laptops
Failed drives, liquid damage, no-boot machines — we assess the drive and the board, and pull your files when it's possible.
Desktop PCs
From failing hard drives to machines that won't start — your documents and photos come off before anything else is decided.
Internal & external drives
HDDs and SSDs that stopped showing up or started clicking. Stop using the drive and bring it in — continued use makes recovery harder.
What We Recover
If it mattered enough to keep on your phone or computer, it's what we go in after.
Photos & videos
The camera roll — usually the reason you're here, and the first thing we verify after extraction.
Messages & call history
Text threads, iMessage conversations, and the call log — including attachments where possible.
Contacts & calendars
The address book and schedule you built over a decade — out of the dead device and into the new one.
Notes & documents
Notes, voice memos, and files stored on the device — the small things that turn out to be big.
Voicemails
Saved voicemails — often the most irreplaceable recordings on the entire phone.
The Situations We See Every Week
Whatever happened to it, don't assume the data went with it.
Situation 01Liquid damage
Power it off, don't charge it, skip the rice — and come in fast. Corrosion spreads by the hour. We clean the board and assess what's recoverable. Water damage repair →
Situation 02Won't turn on at all
Phone, laptop, or iMac — a device that won't power on usually has a board problem, not a storage problem. Board-level diagnosis finds what failed, and power is restored long enough to extract your data, even if the device isn't worth fixing.
Situation 03Shattered beyond use
Screen destroyed, touch dead, frame bent — but the board is healthy. One of the most successful recovery scenarios we see.
Situation 04Boot loops & crashes
A phone stuck on the logo or crash-looping often has intact data behind a software or hardware fault. We stabilize it and get your files out first.
One honest boundary: recovery is done with your authorization and your credentials — we don't bypass passcodes or locks, ever. It keeps your data safe and the work legitimate.
Three Levels of Recovery — Your Case Never Dead-Ends Here
Most recoveries are solved at the first two levels, in our shop. For the rest, we'd rather route your only copy to the best hands in the country than gamble with it.
Level 1 · Device-levelIn-house
When the storage is fine but the device isn't usable — a destroyed screen, dead battery, or failed connector — we repair just enough to access and transfer your data.
Level 2 · Component-levelIn-house · our specialty
Board-level diagnosis and component replacement — corrosion cleanup, shorted lines isolated, failed parts swapped to restore power and reach the storage. This is the work we do every week.
Level 3 · Advanced micro-solderingTrusted specialist
The rare chip-level cases go to a recovery specialist we trust implicitly and have worked with for years. You still deal only with us — and it typically runs hundreds, not the thousands the big national mail-in labs charge.
How It Works
Free evaluation
We assess the device and tell you what's recoverable — and exactly what it would cost — before any work begins.
Stabilize the board
Corrosion cleaned, shorts isolated, components replaced in-house — and advanced micro-soldering cases routed to our trusted specialist.
Extract & verify
Your data comes off the device and gets verified — we confirm the photos open and the files are whole.
Deliver & clear
Transferred to your new phone, computer, or a drive — then removed from our equipment. Confidential, start to finish.
