Your broken device can be the recovery of another
Apple doesn't sell spares. Samsung doesn't either. When a soldered-SSD MacBook or a damaged iPhone arrives at the lab, the only way to access the data is often a donor device. We value yours as part-payment of your recovery — or buy it outright.
Why we depend on donors
Modern Apple, Samsung and Sony devices integrate storage, controller and security at chip level. Manufacturers don't sell those parts — they're not in any catalogue, no distributor stocks them.
The only legitimate source is another device of the same model. A MacBook M2 that someone considers dead is, for us, a treasure: viable NAND, intact CPU, undamaged power lines. That treasure becomes the recovery of someone else's photos, files, business.

Frequently asked questions
Why do you need donor devices?+
Apple, Samsung and most manufacturers don't sell internal spares. When we recover data from a soldered SSD MacBook or a damaged iPhone logic board, we often need a donor with the exact same model and revision to swap a controller, NAND chip or power line. Without donors, many recoveries simply aren't possible.
What happens to my data?+
Before any board is reused, all data is irreversibly wiped through chip-level erasure. We provide a signed data destruction certificate that complies with GDPR. If you want your data recovered first, we can do that and then take the device for valuation.
How much is my device worth?+
It depends on model, year, internal damage and which components remain viable. A non-booting MacBook with intact CPU and NAND is worth more than one with chassis damage. We give a written valuation within 24h of receiving the device.
Can I use the value as part-payment of a recovery?+
Yes. If you have an active recovery quote, the valuation of the donor device is deducted from the final invoice. If you only want to sell the device, we transfer the amount once the device is checked.
What if you don't accept my device?+
We return it free of charge or recycle it responsibly with your written consent. You decide. There's no commitment on your side.
Do I need to sign anything?+
Yes. Once the valuation is accepted, you sign a transfer of ownership document. This protects both parties and is required for the chain of custody.
