Problems we recover from
- 'Card not formatted' or 'card error' in the camera

- Card not recognised by the computer
- Corrupted or unplayable video files
- Cracked, bent or water-damaged card

What to do before you bring it in
- Stop using it straight away. Every attempt to use it can overwrite or damage the data.
- Do not run CHKDSK, Disk Utility First Aid or recovery software on a device that is noisy or slow.
- Do not open the device. Opening a hard drive outside a clean room destroys the platters.
- Do not format or initialise it, even if Windows or macOS asks you to.
- Take the card out of the camera or drone and do not take any more photos on it.
How memory card data recovery works
- Free evaluation: we diagnose the fault (logical, firmware or physical).
- Fixed quote before any recovery work starts.
- Safe imaging: we copy the device sector by sector with PC-3000, in our Class 100 clean room when the drive must be opened, and work only from the copy.
- Your data back on a new drive or USB, checked with you first. No data, no fee on eligible recoveries.
Prices
- Logical recovery (deleted, formatted, corrupted): from £79 + VAT
- Firmware recovery: from £145 + VAT
- Physical recovery in the clean room: from £195 + VAT
RAID, NAS and server recoveries are quoted after the free evaluation. Collection and return by courier anywhere in the UK.
