If your hard drive is damaged or your screen is broken, you probably won't be able to access your data. Don't panic, many of these problems have an easy solution. Ontrack gives you the keys to recovering files from a damaged hard drive or cracked screen.
Unlike the motherboard (the main component of the PC), the screen is an external element that does not directly affect the computer's operation.
Because of a simple display problem, you will not lose your data permanently. As long as your hard drive or other essential components are not affected, you still have a chance of recovering your most critical data, even with a broken screen. If after checking all connections nothing appears on your monitor, you only need to install a new screen
.
Screen problems are relatively easy to manage on a desktop computer, however for laptops it is a bit more complex.
Some problems such as defective pixels or scratches on the surface are uncomplicated. Other, more serious damage requires a screen replacement in order to be able to use the laptop. In case you want to recover files from your laptop with a broken screen, you must first remove the hard disk
There are two possibilities: either you have an IDE hard disk or a SATA hard disk. Buy the connector corresponding to your component and connect it to your hard drive, which you can then use as an external hard drive.
Internal and external drives are used to store information. After an accidental deletion or formatting, the written data becomes inaccessible, but still recoverable.
Data recovery is also possible if the hard drive is damaged.
Physical damage can also corrupt files. When you find that you no longer have access to your data, stop using the hard drive to avoid irreversible loss.
Nowadays, you can find tools designed exclusively to recover data on a hard drive, such as Ontrack EasyRecovery. However, when the damage is more severe (e.g. a burnt hard drive), you can entrust your device to an Ontrack Data Recovery lab as the most secure recovery solution.
A computer with a hard drive? A desktop or laptop computer with a broken screen, or a damaged internal or external hard drive: in any of these situations you can recover your data with basic computer skills.
Data recovery software is available for hard drives.
Software recovery is possible as long as the computer detects the hard drive. To start the recovery process, simply download the Ontrack EasyRecovery software. In just a few, simple clicks, you can recover all your lost data.
Should the computer no longer be able to detect the Hard Drive, Contact an Ontrack Specialist for a free consultation regarding our In-Lab data recovery solutions.
