What does a file recovery service include?
DIY-ing your data recovery is risky. Accidental overwrites, formatting and further damage to the device makes data recovery especially difficult. (And possibly more expensive.) The first step: get your device in the hands of an IT expert. Here are some of the devices and common problems your data recovery expert can help with:
Hard disk drives (HDD)
Hard drives are prone to physical damage and system errors. Whether it’s an external hard drive or the one inside your computer, the internal moving parts mean over time they wear out and degrade in performance. Hearing clicking or whirring noises? There could be physical damage, so your data recovery expert will use a precision screwdriver to repair the motor and hard drive heads. Seeing error messages or experiencing power problems? A system fault or virus may need fixing. Your techie might first try installing recovery software onto your computer. Or they could remove the actual hard drive from the case or computer and use a SAS/SATA to USB adapter to access and recover your files that way.
USB memory sticks
When your flash drive stops working or isn’t recognised by your computer (even when you’ve given it a wiggle) the problem could be faulty connectors, a bad computer USB port or something more serious like a virus. To recover your files, your data recovery technician will first test the memory stick by plugging it into a different computer or USB port. If this doesn’t work, they may use small screwdrivers and pliers to straighten out the connectors. If the damage isn’t physical, checks are made to identify a reason for corruption. This often involves recovery software, which can also help with deleted file recovery if anything has gone walkabout.
Solid-state drives (SSD)
SSD file recovery isn’t easy, because it relies on electrical components to save and retrieve data. When these go bad, it’s very difficult to recover files. But not impossible. Your data recovery expert will ensure a technology called TRIM isn’t enabled. To do this, they will use special recovery software and commands for SSD devices. If they can’t recover your files this way, your drive is sent to a forensic data recovery lab for further investigation, restoration, and data extraction. Be aware, though - this can be expensive.
Phone and smart devices
Need to retrieve messages, photos, numbers, and videos from your phone’s internal memory? Depending on the type of damage your phone has suffered, it may be salvageable. If your phone still switches on, your IT expert will first try downloading specific apps for data recovery. If this isn’t an option, they’ll plug your phone or device into a computer via USB for further debugging and file extraction.

I am using Xiaomi Poco F4. Last night, I moved photos from Camera folder to 2 different folders. Then, I checked the Gallery trash bin, there were a lot of photos, including ones look like that I just moved. I checked the 2 folders, the photos were still there. So I emptied the trash bin. I checked again, the photos in the 2 folders are corrupted. I try to look at Google Photos and Mi Cloud. My Google storage is full so it can't recover all of the photos. Mi Cloud is not helpful at all. Can you help restoring permanently deleted photos from Gallery trash bin? Thanks! - Due date: Flexible
Yuan is very helpful! She will go the extra mile to complete the task ☺ Even though I can't get my data back, she give me an understanding of why it can't be recovered, so I don't have to waste my time through other services. So, if you have a data loss, don't restart ur phone and try to contact Yuan immediately! It's worth a try ☺

When plugged in the light doesn't appear, the device makes beeping and whirring sounds, and is completely undetectable on both Windows PC and Mac software. The cable is in working order and there is no external damage to the device itself. The error occurred when my desktop computer had a meltdown while the device was connected.
