Critical documents, QuickBooks ledgers, discovery databases, or irreplaceable memories trapped on a failed drive? We perform advanced software file carving, corrupted partition reconstruction, and component-level PCB hardware swaps for failing hard drives, dead SSDs, and virtual RAID arrays.
We believe in complete honesty. Many generic IT shops pretend to operate multi-million-dollar cleanrooms or charge astronomical fees only to run basic software. At OC Computer Fix, we are clear about our capabilities: we specialize in external PCB component swaps, donor ROM chip micro-soldering, burned diode repairs, and advanced non-destructive software file carving. We do not open sealed drive chambers to perform cleanroom platter swaps. If our diagnostic reveals catastrophic internal head crashes, we advise you immediately without charging a fee and connect you with vetted cleanroom partners.
Guaranteed risk-free recovery attempt
Bit-for-bit sector imaging first
Priority handling for critical businesses
Encrypted custody & strict confidentiality
Component-level electronics repair, hardware write-blocked sector imaging, and deep software-level file carving.
3.5" desktop drives, 2.5" laptop drives, and external USB disks (Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba). When a drive doesn't spin or clicks due to electronic failure, we replace burned TVS protection diodes, swap compatible donor PCB controller boards, and micro-solder the original adaptive ROM/BIOS chip.
M.2 NVMe, PCIe, and SATA SSDs (Samsung EVO/PRO, Crucial, SanDisk, WD Black). We diagnose power rail shorts, handle corrupt partition tables, clone unstable blocks with hardware write-blockers, and perform deep file carving on unallocated flash space.
Multi-drive arrays (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10), Synology DiskStation, QNAP, TrueNAS ZFS storage pools, and server arrays. We image member drives individually with hardware write-blockers and virtually reconstruct the stripe array in software without modifying customer disks.
MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, and iMac storage recovery. We extract data from unbootable Macs, repair corrupt APFS containers, unlock FileVault encrypted volumes with user credentials, and rescue data after logic board power rail shorts.
Windows BitLocker recovery loops, lost volume headers, and unmountable encrypted partitions. Using authorized recovery keys, we rebuild damaged filesystem headers to decrypt and mount the volume safely in software.
Accidentally formatted a critical project drive, emptied recycle bin, or suffered a ransomware encryption attack? We use deep raw file carving across unallocated clusters to reconstruct original directories and files.
We treat every storage drive with forensic chain-of-custody standards. Your original media is never modified.
We inspect the drive under magnification, test power rails and TVS diodes for shorts, verify USB bridge connectivity, and evaluate whether a donor PCB swap or ROM transfer is required.
Using write-blocked forensic hardware imagers, we clone every healthy sector to a pristine laboratory drive, carefully re-reading weak sectors with adaptive timeouts.
All recovery work is executed exclusively on the cloned image. We reconstruct Master File Tables (MFT), inode trees, database catalogs, and raw file signatures.
You review the recovered file directory report before paying. Your recovered files are returned on a new, encrypted external hard drive or secure flash drive.
Do not power on the drive. Bring it to our Laguna Hills lab (23 Sparrow Hill Lane) or call for immediate courier pickup throughout Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, and South Orange County.
