[mdlug] local data recovery service

[Scott Webster Wood]

Yeah, I have a laptop drive that started 'clicking' - the process made further complex with the fact it's a laptop drive and thus the inner workings are smaller and some shops can't deal with them.  Most places quoted me prices 'starting' in the $600-1200 range and all had big disclaimers that this was just a base quote.

That would imply an electronics or motor failure.  Fixing the
electronics requires a matching PCB.  Fixing the motor requires a
clean room ($$$$$$$).
