Top Data Recovery related questions
Accidental overwriting and formatting are two common causes of deleted or lost files, but they aren’t the only culprits. Data loss also happens because of faulty systems, physical damage (like spills), and viruses.
This depends on the make, model, and operating system. Your data recovery expert will evaluate and diagnose the problem and, in most cases, recover the data using specialist software.
To give yourself the best chance of getting your files back, it’s important to unplug your drive and stop using the device. File recovery isn’t always possible, but this combined with booking an expert data recovery service will help.
Many data recovery professionals hold qualifications in computer science and IT or have industry certifications to become a recognised data recovery professional.
Simple data recovery tasks can be completed in a day. But if there’s a lot of data or severe damage, a week or longer is more likely. Your data recovery expert will give you a time estimate during the evaluation stage.
Data recovery services usually cost $60-$150 when you hire through Airtasker, but it could cost more or less. Your data recovery expert will calculate a flat-rate fee based on the complexity of the project and time needed.

What does a file recovery service include?
DIY-ing your data recovery is risky. Accidental overwrites, formatting and further damage to the device makes data recovery especially difficult. (And possibly more expensive.) The first step: get your device in the hands of an IT expert. Here are some of the devices and common problems your data recovery expert can help with:
Hard disk drives (HDD)
Hard drives are prone to physical damage and system errors. Whether it’s an external hard drive or the one inside your computer, the internal moving parts mean over time they wear out and degrade in performance. Hearing clicking or whirring noises? There could be physical damage, so your data recovery expert will use a precision screwdriver to repair the motor and hard drive heads. Seeing error messages or experiencing power problems? A system fault or virus may need fixing. Your techie might first try installing recovery software onto your computer. Or they could remove the actual hard drive from the case or computer and use a SAS/SATA to USB adapter to access and recover your files that way.
USB memory sticks
When your flash drive stops working or isn’t recognised by your computer (even when you’ve given it a wiggle) the problem could be faulty connectors, a bad computer USB port or something more serious like a virus. To recover your files, your data recovery technician will first test the memory stick by plugging it into a different computer or USB port. If this doesn’t work, they may use small screwdrivers and pliers to straighten out the connectors. If the damage isn’t physical, checks are made to identify a reason for corruption. This often involves recovery software, which can also help with deleted file recovery if anything has gone walkabout.
Solid-state drives (SSD)
SSD file recovery isn’t easy, because it relies on electrical components to save and retrieve data. When these go bad, it’s very difficult to recover files. But not impossible. Your data recovery expert will ensure a technology called TRIM isn’t enabled. To do this, they will use special recovery software and commands for SSD devices. If they can’t recover your files this way, your drive is sent to a forensic data recovery lab for further investigation, restoration, and data extraction. Be aware, though - this can be expensive.
Phone and smart devices
Need to retrieve messages, photos, numbers, and videos from your phone’s internal memory? Depending on the type of damage your phone has suffered, it may be salvageable. If your phone still switches on, your IT expert will first try downloading specific apps for data recovery. If this isn’t an option, they’ll plug your phone or device into a computer via USB for further debugging and file extraction.

Hi there, I need help recovering data from my Lenovo IdeaPad 3 laptop. The laptop still powers on (I can hear the fan and see lights), but the screen stays completely black, and the hinge is broken on one side. I mainly need to recover: • Files and folders from my Desktop • Photos and documents I’m not sure whether the drive is an SSD or HDD, but there are no strange noises, and the laptop hasn’t been dropped or water-damaged — it’s likely just a display or hardware issue. What I need: • Someone to remove the internal drive safely • Back up my data to an external hard drive • Confirm if the drive is encrypted (e.g. BitLocker) You’ll need to bring your own tools. I’m located in Sydney CBD and can meet at a cafe, coworking space, or somewhere convenient — or I can come to you nearby. Please quote your price and availability. Thanks!

I have a locked iPhone ( I think it’s a 4 but maybe slightly later) that is locked/disabled and I would like to get the photos and videos off it. I think I remember the passcode but one of my children found it one day after I retired it and disabled it. I have tried connecting it to iTunes etc but I haven’t been successful. I know there are ways and software programs to undisable it and i may remember the code if not this will need to be opened too.
Good job, successful task thanks
