Devices we handle

Common causes of data loss around Albany

Albany winters are long and cold, with nor'easters, heavy snow, and ice storms that bring down power lines. A laptop or external drive left in a car overnight can get very cold, and powering it on before it warms up can cause condensation inside. Let devices sit at room temperature for a few hours before using them, keep a UPS on desktops and home servers so outages do not cut off writes, and do not leave your only backup in an unheated garage or car.

Many Albany neighborhoods are built on older row houses and brownstones, where wiring, outlets, and grounding may be decades old, and basements can be damp. Overloaded circuits and loose outlets create small power interruptions that are hard on drives. Plug computers into a quality surge protector rather than an old power strip, keep electronics off basement floors, and use a dehumidifier during humid Hudson Valley summers when basements get muggy.

Data recovery in Albany — common questions

My laptop was in the car during a cold night and now it will not boot. What should I do?+

Let it warm up completely before trying anything, and if it still fails, stop powering it on. Cold and condensation can cause both electronic and mechanical problems, and repeated attempts can make a failing drive worse. Confirm your case online and ship it with the free prepaid label from any carrier location in Albany.
