Unlike national mail-in labs, your laptop never leaves our local NJ shop — walk in, talk directly to the technician, and get an honest answer the same day.
Laptop data loss happens fast. A failed drive, a spilled coffee that kills the machine but leaves the data intact, a Windows update that bricks the system, a child who accidentally deleted the family photo folder. In most cases, the data is still recoverable — the key is getting it to the right shop quickly and not writing anything new to the drive.
Whether you need Windows laptop file recovery, MacBook data recovery, recovery from a laptop that won't boot, or files recovered from a drive that no longer mounts — we handle it all in-house. If we can't recover your files, you don't pay for the recovery. Full stop.

The Verdict: Faster, Cheaper, and You Know Where Your Laptop Is

Laptop Data Loss Situations We Handle Every Week
If your situation sounds like any of these, bring your laptop to our Somerville NJ shop. These are the cases we see most often and have the highest recovery rates on.
Deleted Files or Emptied Recycle Bin
Accidentally deleted a folder, emptied the Recycle Bin, or cleared the Mac Trash. Stop using the laptop now — the data is likely still there if nothing new has overwritten it.
Laptop Won't Boot
Stuck on the loading screen, blue screen of death, or just a blank display. A laptop that won't start doesn't mean the data is gone — the drive is often completely intact.
Accidental Format or Factory Reset
Clicked the wrong option during a Windows reset, reinstalled Windows over everything, or restored to factory settings. Recovery is often possible if you act quickly.
Failed or Failing Drive
Laptop makes clicking or grinding sounds, throws disk read errors, or the drive simply stopped being detected. Don't keep restarting — bring it in before more data is lost.
Windows Update Failed
A Windows update got stuck or corrupted and now the laptop won't start. The data on the drive is usually untouched — we recover it before fixing or reinstalling Windows.
Sudden Shutdown or Power Loss
Laptop died mid-use — battery failure, power surge, or forced shutdown during an update. Can corrupt the file system in ways that look worse than they are. Usually recoverable.
Lost Photos & Videos
Family photos, vacation videos, school projects — missing from a folder, corrupted, or gone after a crash. Photo and video recovery is one of our highest-volume recovery requests.
Virus or Ransomware
Ransomware encrypted your files or malware deleted important documents. We recover what we can before cleaning the system — data first, disinfection second.
Business & Work Files
Lost client files, spreadsheets, presentations, project folders, or years of work documents. We treat business data urgently — downtime costs money and we know it.
Every Laptop Brand — Recovered at Our NJ Shop
If it runs Windows or macOS, we can work with it. All major manufacturers plus custom and less common brands.
