Phone Data Recovery Services
Accidental deletions, hardware failure, liquid damage, software corruption, and system crashes can all lead to the loss of your most important files. Whether it’s a smartphone dropped in water, a laptop that suddenly won’t boot, or a virus that locks you out of your device, data loss can feel like a nightmare—especially when it involves cherished family photos, irreplaceable videos, or critical business files. But in many cases, all is not lost. At PhoneMD in Waco, we specialize in recovering data from damaged or malfunctioning devices—even when hope seems slim.
Smartphones carry our lives in their memory banks. From text messages and contact lists to thousands of photos, losing access to your phone’s data can feel devastating. PhoneMD uses professional diagnostic tools and specialized software to retrieve data from iPhones, Androids, and other devices. If your phone won’t power on, we can often perform a board-level repair or extract data directly from the memory chip. Even if your phone is broken beyond repair, we may still be able to save your files and photos.
Laptop & Computer Data Recovery
Laptops and desktops can suffer data loss due to hard drive failure, operating system errors, or water damage. Our techs are trained in safe, non-invasive recovery methods for both solid-state drives (SSDs) and traditional spinning hard drives (HDDs). If your computer shows a black screen, freezes during boot, or emits clicking sounds, it’s important to stop using it immediately to avoid permanent damage. PhoneMD can retrieve your documents, images, videos, and important system files quickly—often the same day.
MicroSD Cards, USB Drives & External Storage
External storage devices like flash drives and memory cards can also fail or become corrupted. Whether you’re dealing with a cracked SD card from your GoPro, a corrupted USB from a school project, or an unreadable external drive from your camera, PhoneMD can help. Our recovery techniques work across all file formats and brands. We understand how important these devices are for both work and personal use.
Water-Damaged Devices: Act Fast
If your phone or laptop has suffered water damage, time is of the essence. The longer a device sits wet, the more likely data becomes unrecoverable. Do not attempt to dry it with heat or continue powering it on. Bring the device to PhoneMD immediately. Our water-damage treatment process includes disassembling the unit, drying each component properly, and assessing whether data recovery is possible. We've recovered files from phones that have been submerged for hours—even days.
Safe, Secure, and Confidential Recovery
We understand that your data is private. Whether it's business records, personal messages, or photos of your family, we treat every recovery job with complete confidentiality. Our recovery environment is secure, and we never share or access personal files beyond what’s necessary to complete the job. With years of experience and hundreds of successful recoveries under our belt, you can trust us to handle your data safely.
Affordable Recovery with Honest Pricing
Unlike big-box services that send your device off for weeks and charge hundreds before even attempting a recovery, PhoneMD offers in-house data recovery with upfront estimates. If we can't retrieve your data, you won't be charged for the service. We're proud to provide Waco residents with a local, affordable option for recovering what matters most.
Don’t Let Data Loss Be Permanent
If you’ve experienced data loss, don’t panic—and don’t delay. The sooner you bring your device to PhoneMD, the better our chances of recovery. We’re here to help you get your memories, files, and important documents back with fast, professional service. Visit us in Waco today or contact us to get started with a free diagnostic.
