Code Blue

Like any other day, you sit down at your computer and hit the power button. As your computer starts to boot up, you hear a funny sound coming from your PC. After an unusually long start up, the clicking noise doesn’t stop. What do you do?

Digicom’s Answer:  Immediately shut it off and call 43-PC911

That clicking noise is an indicator that your hard drive is circling the drain and every second could mean the possibility of you still having all of your documents and pictures in tact or walking away empty handed. With each attempt to revive your PC, you are considerably cutting the odds of a successful data recovery in half. When a hard drive crashes, there’s a great potential for valuable data being stored on the internal disc to be damaged.

PC Paramedics can help. Our technicians will come to your home or office and remove your hard drive from the PC. Our technicians will then take it back to our lab where it will be hooked up to a data recovery machine and the extraction process begins. We will work diligently to retrieve your hard work and years of memories currently stored on your hard drive. All data retrieved will then be placed on CD’s so that it can safely be loaded onto your new drive.

Unfortunately, not all hard drives are recoverable. Due to their sensitive nature, even the slightest damage caused by power surges, direct lightening strikes, fire damage, heat damage, or accidental dropage can cause your hard drive to be inoperable. In these worst case scenarios, Digicom technicians will do their best to get you the best price on a replacement hard drive and aid you in restoring your operating system so that you are fully functional again in no time. The best possible solution to prevent total data loss is to back up your hard drive a regular basis and keep a copy in a safe place that is heat and fire resistant or is off premises.

Digicom understands how frustrating it is to have a failing hard drive and will do what is necessary to aid you in your time of need.

What to do in a Code Blue:

  1. Shut down your computer immediately and do not attempt to power it back on.
  2. Call 43-PC911 immediately to arrange for fast pick up and recovery.
