Laptop data recovery deals with drives that are very small in comparison, special tooling, equipment and handling procedures are required. However, recovery rates are 90% and higher.
A wide variety of failures can cause physical damage to storage media. CD-ROMs can have their metallic substrate or dye layer scratched off; hard disks can suffer any of several mechanical failures, such as head crashes and failed motors; and tapes can simply break. Physical damage always causes at least some data loss, and in many cases the logical structures of the file system are damaged as well. This causes logical damage that must be dealt with before any laptop data recovery.
Typical problems seen with laptop computers are mechanical or electronic failure, where either the drive does not spin at all, or if it does, then quiet but persistent "ticking" or "crunching" noises can be heard during powering up - this particular problem is mainly due to an internal head amplifier failure or, more seriously, a head crash or misalignment problem - the majority of which are recoverable.
