I highly recommend Kotar Data Recovery. My drive was in terrible condition. I initially tried to…read morerun diagnostics myself using TestDisk and DiskPart from the Windows Recovery environment. When I checked it via TestDisk on macOS, the HDD appeared as 0 bytes / 0 GiB, indicating a much deeper disk or partition-level issue. It turned out the PCB was damaged, the translator was corrupted, and two heads were misaligned. Despite the severe damage, Kotar successfully recovered 100% of my data, and I am incredibly happy to have everything back. I trusted them from the start because of their "no data, no charge" policy. What makes them even better is that they are a trustworthy, local business right here in San Jose. Unlike many of the large data recovery services, you don't have to mail your drive away to some random location. If you need data recovery, look no further than Kotar!

Bait and switch scam. Advertised free diagnostic on Yelp. Brought my Samsung S23 Plus in. Phone…read morewon't power on or charge, which I already told him in Yelp. He plugged it into a charger for thirty seconds, saw it doesn't work, then said I have no idea what's going on with your phone. He's supposed to be an expert. Then he said to open the phone I need to pay a minimum of 250 dollars just to proceed. He called it free diagnostic but it's not free. If there's more damage he'll call me with additional charges. If I don't agree to pay more, I still have to pay the 250 dollar minimum cost just for opening the phone. That's not a free diagnostic. That's a scam. Don't go there. Update after the owner's reply: His reply confirms my complaint. In the store he told me to my face that he had no idea what was wrong with my phone. He never said the word motherboard. Yet in writing he now claims he diagnosed a "motherboard-related power issue." If he had actually found that, he would have said so in person. He did not, because all he did was plug my phone into a charger. By his own words, any real diagnosis requires opening the phone, and that only happens after I pay 250 dollars toward a repair. So the free diagnostic tells you nothing. You cannot find out what is wrong without paying first. That is the whole problem. He also says the visit was recorded. I was never told I was being recorded. If he truly has that recording, post it. It will show he told me he had no idea what was wrong, and that 250 dollars was required before he would even open the phone.

I had a sick iPad a couple of years ago; later an older Dell laptop was giving me headaches, and most recently my NEW HP laptop was acting up. I treat it like a baby and don't use it that much but it was responding with the black screen of death. I rang Clever Tech and spoke with Eduardo. Based on the serial number he was able to tell if my warranty was still valid. He took time out to assist as well as was possible over the phone. I ended up visiting their shop in San Jose (Brokaw area) on Murphy Ave the next day. He checked it over and quickly determined that it was something simple having to do with not having completed some updates. it's a mystery to me how he knew all this, but he is the expert after all. It turned out to be a quick fix. Obviously that may not always be in the cards but it was this time. Eduardo and Jesus (and others in their crew) are always polite, personable and super smart. Their rates are fair and I will always go to them for repairs. By the way, Eduardo mentioned that he and his team opened another shop, this one in downtown Saratoga on Big Basin Way. It has a different name... It's called YeaMac. I don't hope for more problems with my laptop, iPhone etc. but if a problem arises I know exactly where to go to get resolution.
