At Aberdeen Data Recovery, we are proud to be Scotland’s No.1 Acer laptop data recovery specialists, with more than 25 years of experience recovering lost data from Acer Aspire laptops. If your laptop is unresponsive, clicking, or no longer booting, our expert engineers have the skills and tools to recover your data—even when others can’t.
💻 Common Acer Aspire Laptop Failures
We frequently recover data from Acer Aspire laptops experiencing issues such as:
-
Clicking or buzzing hard drives
-
Laptop not detecting a bootable drive
-
Windows not loading or crashing during boot
-
BIOS inaccessible or unresponsive
-
Drives not recognised when removed and placed in an external enclosure
These symptoms often point to internal drive failure, such as physical damage, firmware corruption, or NAND degradation in M.2 SSDs.
🧪 Case Study: Acer Aspire with M.2 SSD Failure
A client recently brought us an Acer Aspire laptop that had progressively slowed over time before failing to boot entirely. The drive began emitting a “clicking” sound, and the system could no longer find a bootable volume. Even when the drive was connected externally to another system, it was not recognised.
🔍 Diagnostic Results
-
The laptop contained an M.2 SSD with read/write faults and NAND wear.
-
The BIOS would no longer initialise the drive, and the SSD was not visible through external adapters.
-
Firmware had likely become corrupted due to the physical degradation of memory cells.
🛠️ Our Recovery Solution: NAND Chip Removal Process
To recover the client’s data, our engineers performed a chip-off recovery, which involves removing the memory chip from the faulty drive and reading it directly. Here’s our professional process:
-
Drive Identification and Disassembly
The M.2 SSD was carefully removed and disassembled in an anti-static environment. -
Cleanroom Preparation
Drive was prepped under cleanroom conditions to avoid particle contamination. -
NAND Chip Removal
The NAND flash chip was desoldered from the PCB using precise micro-heating tools. -
Raw Data Extraction
The chip was mounted onto a dedicated NAND reader to extract raw binary data. -
Data Mapping and Controller Emulation
Our engineers emulated the SSD controller logic to decode wear-levelled, encrypted, or fragmented data. -
File System Reconstruction
Rebuilt the NTFS file system to retrieve documents, emails, and user files. -
Integrity Testing and Secure Data Return
Recovered data was validated for integrity and returned to the client via a secure external device.
