Common causes of data loss around Hammond

Hammond's location at the southern tip of Lake Michigan means bitter winter winds, heavy lake-effect snow, and cold snaps that bring outages and frozen vehicles. Laptops and drives left in a car or carried on a long cold commute can collect condensation when brought into a warm room, and switching them on while damp can short the electronics. Let cold devices warm up indoors before powering them on, use a padded bag for laptops, and keep desktops on a UPS to ride out winter power flickers.

The Little Calumet River and Grand Calumet River flow through the Hammond area, and heavy rain has caused significant flooding in Northwest Indiana, including severe flooding in September 2008. Summer thunderstorms can also overwhelm storm sewers and put water in basements. Keep computers and backup drives off basement floors, keep one backup outside the home or in the cloud, and if a device has been in floodwater, do not try to power it on or dry it with heat.

Data recovery in Hammond — common questions

My laptop was in the car overnight in the cold. Now it will not start. What should I do?+

Let it sit indoors at room temperature for an hour or two before trying again, so any condensation can evaporate. If it still will not start, or if the drive clicks or is not detected, stop trying. Repeated power-ons can damage a failing drive further. Confirm your case online and ship it with the free label. For a single device the price is a flat $1,200, paid only if we recover your data.
