For iPhone data recovery, we charge a $100 diagnostic fee. This fee covers the time and labor involved in disassembling the device, analyzing the motherboard, and evaluating the potential for successful data recovery.
We specialize in board-level diagnostics, which often includes testing for shorts, assessing damage from liquid or physical impact, and attempting to power on the phone securely in order to access encrypted data.
If you choose to proceed with the recovery after we provide an estimate, the $100 diagnostic fee is fully applied toward the total cost of the recovery. If you decide not to move forward, the diagnostic fee is non-refundable.

To recover data from any iPhone, the CPU must be fully functional. Unlike older devices, modern iPhones use full-disk encryption, which means we can't simply read data from the NAND chip - the CPU is required to decrypt everything.
The CPU must communicate with the logic EEPROM on the iPhone's motherboard to retrieve the encryption keys. Without this communication, your data remains locked and inaccessible. That's why the only way to recover data is by getting the phone to power on and reach a usable state.
In some cases, the CPU can become damaged from a hard drop or a failed repair attempt - such as when a technician removes the chip without proper technique. This can rip or damage the microscopic pads underneath the CPU, breaking essential connections.
At our New Jersey iPhone data recovery lab, MDRepairs specializes in delicate CPU repair. We restore damaged traces directly on the chip, often under a microscope, using micro-jumpers and precision soldering. These jobs can take several hours to a full day depending on the number of torn connections.
This level of board-level repair is rarely offered by most shops - but it's exactly what's needed when you're trying to recover irreplaceable data from a severely damaged iPhone. If you're looking for expert iPhone CPU repair in District of Columbia, our lab has the tools and experience to make it happen.
Water damage is one of the most common reasons customers in District of Columbia turn to us for iPhone data recovery. Whether your iPhone was dropped in a pool, ocean, or simply exposed to moisture, liquid intrusion can quickly lead to serious internal damage - even if the phone looks fine on the outside.
At MDRepairs, we recover data from water-damaged iPhones every day - including phones that are completely dead. Corrosion starts immediately after contact with water, especially on the logic board. In many cases, the damage spreads under critical chips like the NAND and CPU, where your data is stored.
We use specialized tools such as thermal cameras and microscopes to locate short circuits and damaged components. This allows us to power the phone on temporarily, enter the passcode, and create a full backup of your photos, messages, contacts, notes, and app data like WhatsApp.
This isn't a simple repair - we perform board-level diagnostics and microsoldering that most shops can't. Our New Jersey lab has recovered data from thousands of water-damaged iPhones, including severe cases with rust, saltwater exposure, and no power.
If your iPhone has been exposed to liquid, avoid charging or powering it on. Send it to our lab as soon as possible. The faster we receive it, the better your chances of a full data recovery.
If your iPhone shuts off on its own, freezes randomly, or powers down overnight while sitting idle, you're not alone. This issue is often caused by a short circuit on the logic board - not just a dead battery or software bug.
At MDRepairs, we regularly recover data from iPhones that are dead, stuck in a restart loop, or unstable due to motherboard-level faults. These issues usually stem from micro shorts in critical power lines or failing components caused by drops, heat, or liquid exposure.
When an iPhone powers off on its own - especially after sitting idle - it's often because the power management system is compromised or a voltage line fails under load. The phone might turn on briefly, then shut down again, and eventually stop booting entirely.
We use advanced diagnostics like thermal imaging and schematics to pinpoint the fault and restore stability to the board. Once repaired, we can extract your important data - including photos, messages, contacts, and app data - even if the phone doesn't fully boot.
At MDRepairs, our iPhone data recovery success rate is 100% - as long as the CPU, NAND storage, and EEPROM are intact and working.
iPhones must fully power on and unlock to access data. Once we get the device to boot, we can recover 100% of the data. There's no such thing as a partial recovery with iPhones - it either works or it doesn't.
iPhone data recovery is one of the most specialized and technically demanding areas in the entire data recovery industry. Unlike basic repairs or software-based recoveries, retrieving data from a dead or damaged iPhone requires advanced tools, deep knowledge of Apple's encrypted architecture, and experience working directly on the logic board.
Very few labs - even among professional data recovery companies - are truly proficient in this work. Most phone repair shops, and even most recovery services, simply act as middlemen. They take in the device and ship it out to someone else who can actually do the board-level work.
At MDRepairs, we perform every recovery in-house. We don't outsource or guess - we diagnose, repair, and extract the data ourselves, using industry-leading techniques developed through years of experience.
At MDRepairs, our iPhone data recovery success is built on two things: the right tools and years of hands-on experience. iPhones are among the most complex devices to recover data from, especially with Apple's encrypted storage and layered logic boards. That's why very few labs are truly equipped to handle this type of recovery.
Our NJ-based iPhone data recovery lab is outfitted with industry-leading tools, including:
But tools alone aren't enough. Our team has successfully recovered data from thousands of iPhones - including devices with severe water damage, physical damage, and logic board failures - many of which were written off as unrecoverable by other shops.
Joe at MDrepairs was absolutely on point. Had to bring an old android of mine back to life and I know it was no easy task. MDrepairs was the 3rd company I called and the only ones that were able to get the job done. He had to go above and beyond by sourcing parts from a donor phone. The repair was done ahead of time and he communicated the entire time. Very straight forward process and I couldn't be any happier! I recommend MDrepairs for any cellphone work and will contact them first next time. Thanks again!
Lost my SSD after a hard reset and i thought the world ended. After 2 days of stress and hell, i made the trip and dropped my drive to these guys that i kept watching their insta videos and never thought that i would be one of their customers. I paid the rush fee and within 24 hours and a few extra minutes my business came back to life like tragedy never struck in the first place. They saved everything i thought i lost. Great guys, awesome communication. So if you are like me, and one day you lost your data, photos, videos and what not, take a deep breath and call these guys. Life is not over yet until you give them a chance to help you. Fairly priced for the job, definitely some money saving compare to those big companies on the internet, that quote you thousands of dollars making you question if what you lost is priceless indeed as they are ready to charge you an arm and a leg. So with all that ordeal in mind, I Would highly recommend MD anytime, to anyone!!
Thanks for the memories! We had this device for almost 10 years. It contained some of the earliest memories of our kids. My wife was devastated when it randomly stopped working. I saw an MD Repairs video and thought I'd give it a shot. Joe was great to work with, very responsive, and was able to restore pictures and videos from our family's early days. Thank you so very much!
Where do I start! So appreciative of MDRepairs! They not only fixed my phone, but they went above and beyond by backing up all my data and sending it too. Felt confident from the moment I started working with them! HIGHLY recommend!
I brought a broken external hard drive in for repair, and had an excellent experience working with Joe. He was super accommodating and really took the time to explain everything in detail. Turned out, the drive was completely shot and required some surgery to recover the data. His work is masterful! Highly recommend if you're looking for someone who's both knowledgeable and fair.
Great service!!! After 3 other companies failed to fix it MDrepairs fixed my water damaged phone with years of photos on it. Worth every penny! Recommend to everyone!
I used MDrepairs to retrieve files that were lost after a hard drive failure. All communication from MDrepairs was prompt and professional. The files were sent on a flash drive and I was so impressed with how quickly they were able to complete the process and send out the flash drive. The cost was very fair. I highly recommend using MDrepirs if the need arises.
Very professional and got done what we needed.
Yes. As long as the CPU, NAND, and EEPROM are intact, we can recover 100% of your data, even if the iPhone is completely dead or shows no signs of life. Read our full guide on how to recover data from a broken iPhone.
No, iPhones use full-disk encryption, and once data is deleted, it becomes permanently inaccessible, even with advanced tools. Unlike hard drives, there's no undelete option unless the data was backed up to iCloud or iTunes before deletion. If your iPhone shows "iPhone Unavailable" or "Security Lockout," read our guide on why iPhone data usually can't be recovered from a locked device.
No question matches that - it's probably faster to just ask us: (732) 933-7717 or .
