Data recovery is not guaranteed. Different failures require different approaches, and some damage can make data inaccessible. PRG will not promise an outcome before evaluating the device.

When to ask for an evaluation

The device is broken. The data still matters.

PRG can evaluate devices that will not turn on, broken phones containing important photos, liquid- or board-damaged devices, and supported computers that will not boot or provide normal access to files.

1. Describe the problem

Start with a free request or bring the device in. Do not include passwords, passcodes or sensitive personal data in the website form.

2. Device evaluation

The device condition and failure must be evaluated before PRG can explain potential repair or recovery options.

3. Options before work

Different failures call for different approaches. PRG can discuss the available next step after evaluation; a successful recovery cannot be promised.

Privacy and authorization

Your device and information deserve responsible handling.

Bring a device you own or are authorized to have serviced. Do not enter a passcode, password or sensitive data in the quote form. After evaluation, PRG can explain what access or authorization information may be needed.

A written repair guarantee may apply to a completed qualifying repair. It does not guarantee successful data recovery or the completeness or condition of recovered data.

Questions before you visit

Advanced repair FAQ.

Can you recover data from a phone that won't turn on?

PRG can evaluate a no-power phone to determine whether recovery options may be available. The result depends on the device and damage, and data recovery is not guaranteed.

Can you recover photos from a broken phone?

Possibly. Screen, power, board and storage-related failures require different approaches. An evaluation is needed before options can be discussed.

Can you recover data from a water-damaged phone?

PRG can evaluate liquid-damaged devices, but liquid can affect multiple components and continue causing damage beyond what is visible. Repair and recovery are not guaranteed.

Do you recover data from computers, laptops and MacBooks?

PRG evaluates supported computers, laptops and MacBooks that will not boot or cannot provide normal access to important files. Available options depend on the device and type of failure.

Is data recovery guaranteed?

No. Some failures or physical damage make data inaccessible. PRG will not promise a recovery outcome before evaluation.

How long does data recovery take?

There is no single timeline. It depends on the device, failure, evaluation and recovery approach. PRG can explain the next step after inspecting the device.

Which PRG location should I visit?

Start at Davie, Tamarac or Fort Lauderdale / Swap Shop, or call first. The team can confirm the best drop-off option and route the device if specialist evaluation is needed.
