If a computer will not boot but the drive still responds, Mx Store can often copy files to another disk after diagnosis. Physically clicking hard drives and dead NAND packages are different jobs with different odds. We explain what we can actually attempt.
Storage access after faults
Data Recovery in Istanbul
Data recovery in Istanbul at Mx Store is for drives that disappeared after a crash, liquid spill or failed Windows install. We inspect whether the SSD or HDD is still readable, then quote copy-out work. We do not promise 100% recovery of physically destroyed media.

Device inspection
We check the device physically and note visible damage, liquid marks, ports and accessories.

Diagnosis
Technicians isolate the fault with functional tests before any paid repair starts.
- 3
Repair quotation
You receive a clear quote for labour and parts. Prices can change with device condition.
- 4
Customer approval
Paid work starts only after you approve the quote by phone, WhatsApp or in person.
- 5
Repair
The approved job is completed in our Perpa workshop using the parts agreed in the quote.
- 6
Testing
We test the repaired function and basic operation before handover.
- 7

You collect the device in Şişli or arrange return shipping. Completed work is documented at handover.
Repair time
Accessible disks can be copied the same day. Clicking HDDs and encrypted volumes take longer and may not succeed. We will not invent a success rate.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you recover data from a dead laptop?
If the storage still works, often yes by removing or imaging the drive. If the NAND or platters failed, odds drop and we will say so.
Do you recover phones?
This page covers computer and laptop storage. Ask on WhatsApp if you have another device type.
Should I keep trying to boot?
If files matter, stop experimenting and bring the machine in.
Is success guaranteed?
No. We quote based on what the drive actually does on the bench.
Can you clone to a new SSD?
When the source is healthy enough, yes — see SSD upgrade.
Where are you?
