Common Desktop PC Faults & Our Recovery Methods
We have successfully recovered data from over 20,000 desktop systems. Below are the top 20 data loss scenarios we see in Packard Bell, Razer, CyberPower, and Corsair machines, with technical details of our recovery procedures.
1. Mechanical Drive Failure (Clicking, Grinding Noises)
Cause: Faulty read/write heads or stuck spindle motor.
Solution: Opened in ISO-14644 cleanroom, donor head stack replacement, followed by full disk imaging using hardware imager with error skipping.
2. Firmware Corruption (BIOS Detects but OS Does Not)
Cause: Firmware module damage or factory defect.
Solution: Using PC-3000, firmware modules (e.g. SA/ROM) are read, verified and corrected. Drive functionality restored to allow cloning.
3. Bad Sectors / Unreadable Areas
Cause: Magnetic surface degradation.
Solution: Hardware-level sector-by-sector imaging, ECC recalculation, and selective file carving to extract usable data.
4. PCB Failure (No Power or Visible Burn Marks)
Cause: Voltage spike, damaged controller ICs.
Solution: Donor PCB programming, original ROM chip transfer, or micro-soldering of diodes, resistors, and capacitors.
5. Logical Partition Loss (Drive shows as RAW)
Cause: Partition table corruption or volume header overwrite.
Solution: Partition table reconstruction using hex analysis and TestDisk/WinHex, followed by file system repair.
6. Accidental Deletion or Formatting
Cause: User error or OS reinstallation.
Solution: Low-level scan for metadata, MFT recovery, and content-aware signature matching to reconstruct folder structure.
7. RAID 0/1 Setup Data Loss
Cause: RAID volume corruption, misconfiguration, or drive mismatch.
Solution: Virtual RAID rebuild using metadata analysis, manual stripe size identification, file system reconstruction.
8. SSD Controller Failure
Cause: SandForce/Phison/SMI chip malfunction.
Solution: NAND chip-off recovery, ECC correction, and wear levelling table simulation to extract user data.
9. Overheating (PC abruptly shuts down, then won’t boot)
Cause: Thermal damage to PCB or internal components.
Solution: Controlled power-up in lab, temporary cooling solution, cloned drive creation.
10. Encrypted Drives (BitLocker, BIOS Passwords)
Cause: OS reinstallation, lost credentials, TPM reset.
Solution: Decryption with recovery keys, forensic brute force if possible, chip dump for manual analysis.
11. Corrupted File Systems (BSOD, CHKDSK on boot)
Cause: Abrupt power loss or virus.
Solution: File system parsing, recovery of lost clusters, and MFT table reconstruction.
12. Drive Not Recognised in BIOS
Cause: Damaged preamp, controller IC, or firmware.
Solution: Full diagnostic with multimeter, firmware repair, and component-level soldering where needed.
13. Boot Sector Not Found / Inaccessible Boot Device
Cause: MBR/GPT corruption.
Solution: Rebuild partition structures, manually extract OS partition, and mount in virtual environment.
14. Power Surge or Lightning Strike
Cause: External surge damaging PSU and storage.
Solution: PCB analysis, donor logic board use, adaptive ROM swap and soft reset routines.
15. File Transfer Interrupted (e.g., external backup failed mid-copy)
Cause: Unsafely removed drive, corrupted transfer.
Solution: Transaction log recovery, file version comparison, data shadow/fragment reconstruction.
16. Malware or Ransomware Infections
Cause: Executable encrypts files or overwrites headers.
Solution: File signature scanning, decryption module usage, forensic timeline restoration.
17. Water or Liquid Damage
Cause: Liquid ingress on logic board.
Solution: Immediate drying, ultrasonic cleaning, and live board swap with ROM transplant.
18. Unsupported File System Error
Cause: Drive formatted under Linux or Mac and accessed from incompatible system.
Solution: Mount using appropriate OS tools, image and then translate to NTFS/FAT for user access.
19. Drive Spins but Not Detected
Cause: Preamp failure or unstable power draw.
Solution: Preamp replacement (where feasible), SA module restoration.
20. Manufacturing Defects (common in OEM PC bundles)
Cause: Poor solder joints or firmware incompatibilities.
Solution: QA inspection, custom firmware flash and adaptive tuning.
