Laptops may present any of a number of data loss symptoms depending on the failure scenario, the laptop's operating system and a number of other factors.

Some of the most common early warning signs of data loss include:

• Frequent Freezing and Crashing
• Clicking, Whirring or Other Unusual Noises
• Burning Electronics Smell
• Excessive Fan Noises
• Operating System Will Not Boot
• Failure to Mount or Recognize Attached Media
• Power Issues
• Computer Cannot Boot Past BIOS

If you cannot access data on a laptop computer, immediately turn the computer off. This will prevent the computer's hard drive from sustaining permanent damage. If your laptop is unresponsive, you can usually shut it down safely by holding down the power button for several seconds until the screen turns off. You may disconnect your laptop's hard drive, but do not attempt this if you are uncomfortable with the process or if removing the hard drive will void your machine's warranty.

Note any symptoms that preceded the failure, including any of the early warning signs listed above, and contact Secure Data Recovery Services as soon as possible. Our experts can help you set up free diagnostics, which will provide you with a risk-free price quote and an accurate turnaround estimate.
