Lawrence is the college town of Kansas, home to the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University, set on the Kansas River between Kansas City and Topeka. Students, researchers, and downtown small businesses all depend on laptops and drives that can fail at the worst time. When one does, we recover it by mail with a free prepaid label after you confirm online.
Lawrence sits in the path of classic Plains weather. Spring and early summer bring severe thunderstorms with hail, damaging winds, heavy lightning, and tornado warnings, and storm-related surges and outages are the most common way weather reaches a computer. Put desktops, lab workstations, and home NAS units on a UPS, unplug equipment you are not using when storms approach, and keep a backup copy off-site or in the cloud so a single strike or outage does not take everything.
Winter can bring ice storms that bring down limbs and power lines, and devices carried across a cold campus can collect condensation if they are used before warming up. Summers are hot and humid, and older rental houses near campus often have dated wiring, few grounded outlets, and basements that take on water in heavy rain. Let devices warm up after being outside in the cold, keep drives off basement floors, and avoid running computers from overloaded extension cords.

Data recovery in Lawrence — common questions
My thesis files are on a drive that just started clicking. What should I do first?+
Turn it off and leave it off. Clicking usually means a head or mechanical problem that gets worse every time the drive spins up, and repair software can make it worse. Confirm your case online and ship it with the free prepaid label. If a deadline is close, expedited and emergency service are available on request.
