If your Toshiba laptop drive spins but isn’t recognised, or your Toshiba SSD is overheating and freezing, these are common signs of critical drive-level failure. These issues can result in partial or total loss of access to your data—and often require professional intervention.
At Aberdeen Data Recovery, we are Scotland’s No.1 Toshiba hard drive data recovery specialists, with more than 25 years of experience recovering data from all types of Toshiba drives. Whether it’s mechanical failure, PCB damage, firmware corruption, or NAND chip degradation, we’re here to help you recover your important files.
⚠️ Common Toshiba Hard Drive and SSD Failures
We frequently recover data from Toshiba drives affected by:
- Drive spins but not recognised – typically a sign of PCB failure or firmware-level corruption
- Freezing or crashing SSDs – often caused by temperature spikes or degraded NAND flash memory
- Laptop reports no boot device found – the drive is present but not readable
- Files inaccessible or corrupted – caused by early-stage degradation or logical failure
- Sudden shutdowns and slow boot-ups – a key symptom of failing SSDs or hybrid drives
These issues often worsen with continued use—so we recommend stopping any attempts to power the device and contacting us for diagnostics as soon as possible.
🛠️ How We Recover Data from Toshiba Drives
Our process ensures a safe and professional recovery, whether your drive is an HDD or SSD:
1. Diagnosis and Evaluation
We inspect the drive outside the laptop to determine whether the fault is electrical (e.g., PCB), firmware-related, or due to physical damage.
2. Drive Cloning and Imaging
If the drive is responsive, we create a sector-by-sector clone using read-only imaging tools. If the PCB is damaged, we repair or replace it using exact-match donor boards.
3. Firmware Repair or Emulation
If the firmware is corrupted or the SSD is stuck in boot-loop mode, we use Toshiba-specific tools to repair or emulate firmware and regain access to stored data.
4. Chip-Level SSD Recovery
For overheating Toshiba SSDs with degraded NAND chips, we use chip-off recovery or controller bypass methods to access raw memory content safely.
5. File System Rebuild and Extraction
Once access is restored, we rebuild damaged NTFS, FAT32, exFAT, or EXT file systems to recover documents, photos, spreadsheets, and media files.
