Data Recovery Brisbane
Urgent file recovery from failed drives and laptops that won’t boot — assessed honestly before any deep recovery spend.
When the files matter more than the machine
Stop writing to a failing drive. The sooner we assess, the more options you usually have.
Home PC Fix starts with the least invasive path that can work — imaging when possible, logical recovery when appropriate, and honest referral when a lab is the only realistic path.
No fake guarantees. You’ll hear what’s likely, what’s uncertain, and what we recommend next.
Remote assistance is $88 per hour. Standard onsite assistance is $130 per hour. Any job that needs parts or repairs is quoted after diagnostics — you approve before we order parts.
We focus on Brisbane Northside suburbs including Albany Creek, Eatons Hill, Bridgeman Downs, Aspley, Chermside and surrounds — so you get local response without franchise suburb-spam copy.

How it works
Assess, explain options, then recover what we can responsibly.
Onsite diagnosis + practical repair paths
Many mobile-only competitors stop at software. We diagnose on site and plan hardware work — screens, batteries, upgrades, and board triage — with honest limits.
What we handle on a typical visit
- Fault confirmation before parts spend
- Laptop screens, batteries, SSD/RAM upgrades
- Virus cleanup, tune-ups, Wi‑Fi and printers
- Mac and Windows machines for common faults
What we’ll tell you early
- When a specialist board lab is the better path
- When repair cost outweighs a sensible replacement
- When remote ($88/hr) can finish the job without a visit
- How data recovery fits your data and downtime priorities
