Call or text Dan directly at (310) 850-8093, or email support@westlacomputerexpert.tech.

My PC won't turn on. Are my files gone?

Almost never. The drive is usually fine even when the power supply or motherboard has failed, and its contents can normally be read in a shop. Don't wipe or reformat anything before a diagnosis.

What backup do you recommend?

A 3-2-1 setup: your working files, a local backup drive, and automated cloud backup such as Backblaze — the combination listed on our gear page. Set-and-forget is the point.

Can you recover files from a clicking drive?

Clicking means mechanical failure — stop using it immediately, because every attempt can make it worse. Dan will assess it honestly and tell you if it needs a specialist lab.

How much does data recovery cost?

It depends on the failure, which is why assessment comes first. You'll get a plain verdict and price before any paid recovery work starts.
