Price list
Prices are shown as ranges, because it is not always possible to set the final cost immediately.
The work starts only after the initial free diagnosis and when the customer agrees with the cost.
Prices are always reconciled before the start of the work!
It is possible to carry out the work in parts, with partial payment for the work done.
Chapter “Basics” on our site shows technical aspects of different storage devices.
HDD data recovery
A hard disk drive (HDD) is a high-tech device that combines precise mechanics and a complex electronic part, a controller. Both the electronic and mechanical parts of an HDD can fail (see Self-diagnostics advices). The effort required to recover the data is determined by the type and features of each specific fault.
The table lists most frequent typical faults and estimate costs of effort to repair the disk.
| Fault symptoms | Possible cause | Cost, € |
|---|---|---|
| HDD platters do not spin, and BIOS does not recognize the HDD | The HDD controller is faulty | 250−400 |
| The computer’s power supply unit does not start when the HDD is connected to the system board | A short circuit in the controller | 250−400 |
| HDD platters spin, but make a clattering noise, and BIOS does not recognize the HDD | The head carriage is faulty, possibly the magnet surface is damaged | 1000−2000 |
| HDD platters spin, but BIOS does not recognize the HDD | HDD service data are damaged | 250−600 |
| BIOS does recognize the HDD, but data is inaccessible | Surface defects, service data are damaged, the head carriage is faulty, logical inconsistency | 250−1000 |
| The operation system does not start | Logical inconsistency, HDD is re-formatted, checkdisk has worked incorrectly | 250−600 |
