admin — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:26:21 +0000

Droid IT LLC & HDRC have put together some newer videos and published the PCB repair training course. The course contains both written text and videos teaching the student how to repair PCB logic cards.
Some examples of problems that you will overcome after this course are non detecting hard drives, hard drives which prevent the PC from powering on, slow hard drives, broken interfaces, hard drives which power up however they do not seek up the data or show in BIOS.
For a limited amount of time the USB Flash drive course is not available, so we are including some of the flash drive repair videos as an added free bonus to this course.
If you would like to recover more data from hard drives without outsourcing or having the costs of cleanroom equipment then this course is for you.
This course can be purchased from either https://www.droiditllc.com/cart or http://www.hdrconline.com
No equipment is given with the course it is an electronic download available after purchase. Simply pay the course fees, download the ISO, mount virtually or burn to DVD. Then proceed with the registration and unlock process to access your materials. The entire course is available to you from the PC where you download and install to. Any updates are given free if and when new material is added to your chosen course for 12 months after purchase.

HDRC & Droid.IT LLC Online Physical Data Recovery Training -A short trailer from the our online physical data recovery training course. Our online course will teach you how to diagnose, repair and recover the data from dead hard drives and flash / usb drives. This trailer is from our case studies it involves a flooded hard drive from a simulated flood, to make our job more difficult the drive was flooded with muddy water. We managed to recover 100% of the data in this drive. Our training teaches our students how to recover the data in similar circumstances.

HDRC & Droid.IT LLC Online Physical Data Recovery Training -A short trailer from the our online physical data recovery training course. Our online course will teach you how to diagnose, repair and recover the data from dead hard drives and flash / usb drives. This trailer is from our case studies it involves a burned hard drive, we show how to find a donor when there is no label or components left on the PCB and describe the technology to recover data from burned hard drives. This hard drive had no data recovered as the magnetic layer was badly burned. Our students are still left with the knowledge and skills to recover the data from burned hard drives when the platters still contain data.

PCB Repair & Diagnostics Hard Drive Data Recovery

admin — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 04:31:06 +0000

HDRC & Droid.IT LLC Online Physical Data Recovery Training -A short trailer from the our online physical data recovery training course. Our online course will teach you how to diagnose, repair and recover the data from dead hard drives and flash / usb drives. This trailer is from one of our training sessions on soldering. We have several modules teaching our students how to test and repair the PCB for data recovery. You may wonder why not swap the logic card, well simply this is not always possible when you either do not have a donor or there are ROM chips that need to be reprogrammed on the donor. Often it is simple a quick to diagnose the fault and repair it. If you have no soldering skills don’t worry we will teach you how to solder.

Hard Drive Data Recovery – Western Digital Head Swap

admin — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 02:12:18 +0000

http://www.acsdata.com ~~~WARNING~~~ ****THIS IS NOT AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO**** There are key steps and some proprietary information that has been edited out. This is also only a 10 minute video, where just the head swap alone can take well over an hour depending on the drive. We also don’t show our method for aligning the heads on this particular model.

This video was originally produced because many of our customers were simply curious, or ill informed about what is done to physically repair a hard drive for recovery. This video is not intended to make you think swapping heads is easy. This video is not intended to make you think you can do it yourself. In 99% of this cases, if you attempt this on your own, even within a clean room environment, you will probably lose your data for good.

Also, just because your drive is clicking, does not necessarily mean the heads are bad. Proper diagnosis is key with doing data recovery correctly. Most lower level companies will just try to swap the heads, when it may be a PCB or firmware issue. When the head swap doesn’t work, they will say your data is unrecoverable. We get drives like that in every week, where a customer has been told the heads are bad, when they weren’t. So just because your drive is clicking, there maybe something more to it, but you won’t have the proper equipment needed to verify this or not and neither will a lower end data recovery firm.

The simple message here is, if your data is critical, make absolutely sure you let a professional data recovery firm do the recovery. Even if you have no desire at all to send a hard drive to us for recovery, PLEASE shop around, do your homework on the industry and ask for solid references from the company you do choose. If they are local, maybe even stop by their offices just to check them out first. There are literally thousands of companies out there that say they do this type of work, but VERY few actually do. If they say they can do a physical recovery for $199, you might want to keep shopping. The parts alone can be more than that. In most cases, a physical recovery is going to run anywhere from $600 to $1,500+ depending on the size of the drive, and the type of failure that has occurred.
