What should I do if I have lost data due to physical damage?

Losing crucial data can be devastating in any case, but there are a few tips to keep in mind to lessen the possibility of additional damage when you’ve experienced data loss from physical damage.

  1. Don’t turn your device on. 
    It’s best to leave your device powered off if you suspect severe physical damage. If it has already been turned on and you hear a ticking sound, turn it off immediately.

  2. Avoid any attempts to dry any damaged devices that have also become wet.  
    Drying out physically damaged [devices that have been subjected to water damage](link to flood damage page) could lead to further data loss due to corrosion. In instances where your device may have been exposed to water after being dropped or otherwise physically damaged, it is best to send it to a data recovery professional for further evaluation. Be sure to place the device in a secure plastic bag and wrap it with a damp paper towel to keep as much moisture in the device as possible.

  3. Contact a professional data recovery expert, immediately. 
    Truth be told, recovering data from damaged devices requires a unique set of skills. In cases where media has been dropped or experienced other accidents that result in external damage, it’s best to trust the experts with recovering any critical data.

  4. Consider any available back up data. 
    Having data readily available can make all the difference when it comes to drops or physical damage, so it may be helpful to proactively create a recovery plan. It’s also important to remember that there’s no time like the present to back up your data. A good backup strategy is a fail-safe way to ensure that all is not lost should your devices become severely damaged during a physical accident.
