Data Recovery Service

Home / Service / Data Recovery Service

— DATA RECOVERY · IPHONE & IPAD

We recover data from iPhones and iPads that won’t even turn on.

Water damage, a dead logic board, a device that’s completely unresponsive — if the Apple Store or a normal shop says “unrecoverable,” there’s still a good chance we can get your photos, messages and files back. 98% success rate, done in our lab in Seri Kembangan.

— SET THE RIGHT EXPECTATION

We're honest about what data recovery can and can't do.

We can recover data when:

This isn't what data recovery means:

“Your data is protected by hardware-level encryption tied to the device’s own chip — that’s exactly what makes recovery a specialist board-level job, not something generic ‘data recovery software’ can do once the device itself is dead.”

— THE PROCESS

From a dead phone to your data back in your hands.

01

Send us the situation

WhatsApp us what happened — dropped, wet, won't turn on, etc. A quick description or photo helps us prep before you arrive.

02

We inspect under the scope

We inspect the phone to find out exactly what's damaged — without touching or accessing your data. Once we know what's wrong, we'll explain your options and the cost before doing anything further.

03

Repair or bypass the fault

We repair the exact failed component so the board powers up and becomes readable again. If the screen itself is unrepairable, we clone your data onto another iPhone so you can access it.

04

Backup & handover

Once the device is readable, we help you back everything up (iCloud, computer, or the your new device) before final handover.

— PRICING

Starts at RM500 — the exact price depends on what's actually broken.

Data recovery pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all, because a dead power chip and a fully corroded board from water damage are very different jobs. What we can tell you upfront:

DATA RECOVERY

Starting from

RM 500

Inspection itself isn’t free if you decide not to proceed after we quote you: RM30 for iPhone, RM50 for iPad. This covers diagnostic time only — it’s waived completely if you go ahead with the repair.

— WHY TRUST US WITH YOUR DATA

We get paid to recover it — not to try and fail.

01 — GUARANTEE

No Fix, No Fee

If we can’t recover your data, you don’t pay for the attempt — only the inspection fee applies if you decline afterward.

02 — EQUIPMENT

Lab-grade tools, not recovery software

Microscope, oscilloscope, and NAND programmers — the same class of tools used for board-level chip work, not off-the-shelf recovery apps that only work on a functioning drive.

03 — DATA FIRST

We repair the original board where possible

Unlike a straight board swap, we fix the original component so your data isn’t wiped in the process of getting the phone working again.

“A professional data recovery job happens in the lab, under a microscope — not guessed at with software that was built for a working hard drive, not a dead phone.”

— Lim, Founder, iPhone Service Malaysia

— FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions people ask before sending their phone in.

What's your success rate?

About 98%. It drops if the device has been previously opened or “fixed” by someone else without the right tools — extra tampering makes the board harder to diagnose.

Depends on the case. If we repaired the actual fault, the phone usually works normally again. If we recovered data via cloning (e.g. screen totally destroyed), your data is safe but the original device itself may still need separate repair.

It’s free if you proceed with the recommended repair. If you decide not to continue after we’ve quoted you, there’s a RM30 (iPhone) / RM50 (iPad) diagnostic fee.

1–2 days to diagnose and give you a quote, then 3–7 days total once you approve.

No — once the board is readable, all data comes back together. We can’t selectively extract only certain apps or files.

No. We don’t bypass Activation Lock, Screen Time, or iCloud locks under any circumstance, even if you’re the owner.

Once we’ve assessed the damage, we’ll let you know your options. In many cases, we can get the phone into a state where you can access it and back up yourself — though we can’t guarantee it’ll be 100% back to normal, fully working condition.

If that’s not possible, we back up the data onto our own computer, then clone it onto another iPhone that you bring in. We can’t put your data onto a hard drive, USB drive, or Android phone — iPhone backups are encrypted in a way that only another iPhone can read, so a full, complete transfer only works iPhone-to-iPhone. The replacement iPhone also needs to be the same model or newer, with at least the same storage capacity as your original.

e case. If we repaired the actual fault, the phone usually works normally again. If we recovered data via cloning (e.g. screen totally destroyed), your data is safe but the original device itself may still need separate repair.

Real boards, real damage, documented start to finish.

Not just words — full step-by-step documentation with microscope and thermal camera images from our actual repair bench.

SEVERE WATER DAMAGE

Can Data Be Recovered from a Water-Damaged iPhone?

“A real repair case showing how careful diagnosis — not immediate CPU replacement — recovered a customer’s data from a severely corroded motherboard.”

iPhone Motherboard: Diagnosing a No Power Issue

“An iPhone 13 that wouldn’t turn on — traced through systematic testing to a solder fault between the board’s two layers, avoiding an unnecessary full motherboard replacement.”

Don't let "data's gone" be the last word.

Send us a photo or description — we’ll assess it and get back to you.
