Data recovery was urgently needed for a customer in Norridge, Illinois after a simple accident caused serious damage. While using their laptop, they accidentally dropped it—with a Sandisk flash drive still plugged in. The impact bent the drive badly, and it stopped working immediately.
The flash drive contained important personal files, and the customer feared they were lost for good. It was no longer recognized by any computer, and the physical damage made things worse.
Not knowing where else to turn, they contacted WeRecoverData, the leading data recovery company known for handling even the most extreme cases of device damage.
Our specialists received the damaged flash drive and brought it into our lab. The connector was bent, and the internal components were at risk, so we handled it with care. Using precision tools, we carefully repaired the connection and safely extracted the memory chip.
From there, we used advanced recovery equipment to read the data directly from the chip. Bit by bit, we were able to bring the lost files back to life.
In the end, we successfully recovered everything the customer thought was gone. Thanks to WeRecoverData, a dropped laptop didn’t mean lost memories—and a broken flash drive turned into another data recovery success story.
