No. Turn it off and leave it off.
Every restart on a failing drive can reduce what is recoverable.
Not always. Physical damage, encryption, or overwritten data can limit what comes back.
We tell you honestly where things stand before any further spend.
Yes. We set up automatic backups to the cloud, an external drive, or both.
Then we show you how to check they are working.
Stop using the device if you can, and do not install recovery apps onto the same drive.
