Data recovery in Somerville, MA for one clear price

Somerville is one of the most densely populated cities in New England, just north of Boston and next to Cambridge, with neighborhoods of triple-deckers full of students, researchers, artists, and young professionals, and part of Tufts University's campus. Thesis drafts, lab data, music projects, and freelance work often live on a single laptop. When one fails, you ship it to us by mail with a free prepaid label after confirming online.

Devices we handle

Common causes of data loss around Somerville

Somerville's housing stock is largely older wood-frame triple-deckers and multi-family homes, many with aging wiring, few grounded outlets, and shared circuits. Overloaded power strips, space heaters, and window air conditioners on the same circuit as a computer can cause brownouts and surges that damage power supplies and drives. Use a quality surge protector or UPS, avoid daisy-chaining power strips, and keep laptops off radiators and away from windows. Top-floor apartments without air conditioning can also get very hot in summer.

Greater Boston winters bring nor'easters and blizzards with heavy snow, high winds, and power outages, and the cold can cause condensation when a laptop comes in from a walk or a ride on the T. Heavy summer downpours can overwhelm older sewer systems and flood basement apartments and storage rooms. Let cold devices warm up before powering them on, keep computers and drives off basement floors, and back up thesis and work files to the cloud throughout the day.

Data recovery in Somerville — common questions

My apartment has old wiring and my laptop charger sparked. Can my files be saved?+

Often, yes. A surge or short in a charger can damage a laptop's logic board, but the drive or SSD frequently survives. Unplug the charger and do not use it again, and do not keep trying to turn the laptop on. 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.
