Help and Advice – SSD’s and iPhones

/ / Data Clinic Ltd

Help button on computer keyboardPhone Help in London

Here are 3 enquiries about recovering iPhone data that we received this weekend.

  • “We have a iphone 6 that won’t power on and would like to see if there is a way to recover the data off it?”
  • “I have an iPhone 5s that sustained some water damage with the red screen of death appearing. I tried drying it out with some of those silica gel packets inside of a resealable bag but it did not fix my phone. I was wondering how much it would cost to fix it at your London office?”
  • “In order to upgrade to the latest software on the iphone, I had to restore my phone from the last backup. Unfortunately this was 2 years ago. I have now lost photos of my new born chilld. Are you able to retrieve these photographs?”

Data Clinic’s London office is located at 68 Lombard Street, near to the Bank underground station. Customers are welcome to bring their faulty hard disks and mobile phones to the office for assessment, repair and recovery.

red 'screen of death' on an iPhoneUnless a job is booked in with us as an emergency, we don’t provide a while you wait service at this location. Instead we ask you to leave your equipment with us so we can assess it and identify the problem. Troubleshooting unresponsive hard drives and phones can sometimes take hours, so rather than have you waiting around for a potentially long time, we will contact you once the problem has been identified and also quote you a price for the data recovery. It’s then up to you if you want to proceed.

Typical prices for hard drive recovery are between £350 and £800, and for mobile phones between £95 and £395. These prices apply to our standard service which recovers your data within 5-10 working days. Faster turnaround times are available but cost more.

The ‘red screen of death’ iPhone problem is starting to become more common and we can usually recover the data from iPhones in this condition.

Upgrading the iPhone’s software can often lead to problems – usually in the form of a bricked phone, especially if the battery runs out or the upgrade process is terminated before completing. Again, in both cases we can usually help to retrieve the phone’s information.

Unresponsive SSD

A Sandisk ultra 2 SSD“I have a scandisk ultra II 960gb ssd. Two days ago during a windows patching i got a blue screen, and since that i have not manage to load windows, but more than that, using windows recovery and using the command prompt i can’t access the hard drive. Taking the drive out and putting it into a USB caddy, still resulted in no access.”

Rather than a Scandisk Ultra II we assume you mean a Sandisk Ultra II hard drive. We are receiving growing numbers of SSD hard drives for data recovery. SSD’s have no moving parts so fortunately the dreaded ‘click of death’, which relate to problems of a mechanical nature on the older ‘HDD’ type hard drives do not affect SSD’s.

While this is good news, SSD’s have more problems with their firmware – the programming that controls the SSD, which is quite often buggy and causes SSD to crash and malfunction. Drives then become unresponsive and the data on them is inaccessible. Recovering the files from SSDs often involves us reprogramming the firmware on the drive in order to access the data once more. More information can be found on our SSD data recovery page.

Whilst Data Clinic were not able to retrieve the data from 1 of the 3 drives I sent to them - they were very easy to work with, accomodated my requests allowing for a very flexible recovery process (I dropped off the drives in person and provided an obscure drive type for the recovered data which they were perfectly happy with). When I asked why the last drive was unrecoverable, they explained with lots of detail, and of course I was not charged for said drive.I've learnt my lesson and hopefully won't ever need a recovery service again, but if I do I know who to go to!

3 years of my lifes' work and photos saved because of the amazing professionals at this company. My iPhone XS Max got stuck in a "boot loop" with a nearly full 512GB of storage. Most of the internet said there was no hope for this Error 14/1110: but Michelle, Elliot, and the team at Data Clinic said otherwise. Amazing friendly personable customer coordination from Michelle including arrangement of emergency service for which I flew into Manchester to the main lab. Elliot was patient, capable, and helped get the job DONE! I now have my phone not only backed up to an SSD for the data itself, but my phone is working as it was, and has updated software to the newest iOS. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the capable professionals who I was able to trust here at Data Clinic. I truly believe this is the best tech service I have ever experienced. Worth every penny and grateful for the invaluable benefit of my memories being restored. THANK YOU! Brian from USA based in Turkey
