Frequently asked questions
My USB asks to format when I plug it in. What do I do? ▾
Do NOT click "Format". The system asks for a format because the table is damaged but the data is still there. Try another computer to confirm, and bring it in if you still cannot access it.
Do you recover SD cards from cameras and phones? ▾
Yes, every format: SD, microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC, CompactFlash, XQD, CFexpress. We recover JPEG, RAW, MP4, MOV, etc.
My USB is not detected by any computer. ▾
Likely a controller or connector failure. We need chip-off (direct read of the NAND). It is more expensive but recoverable in many cases.
How long does USB recovery take? ▾
Simple logical failure: 24–48 h. Chip-off: 3–7 days. We give an exact ETA during diagnostic.
