That’s utterly miserable. What happened? Would it be at all possible for a professional to dig through the deep dark of your computer to try and find any remnants of the file/files you lost?
There might be a chance that it hasn’t been overridden yet or might be hiding in a place a regular person wouldn’t think to look.
I wish you luck though, it’s awful that happened to you.
Laptop stopped working, it reeks of burned smell. I don't know if extracting the data is even an option since the device has no HDD but instead a tiny chip soldered onto the motherboard.
It's completely my fault, I should've known better.
That is still recoverable. You’d be surprised what techs can do. I would give it a shot!
No luck today finding a store that can repair it. Will see next week, but I pretty much lost hope and began writing all over again. fml.
Not even repair it, as your computers probably completely totaled. They can however scrape as much data as they can from the memory and put it on an SSD for you if you’re lucky. Any average repair shop could do that for you, I would look for ones that offer a free consultation or inspection and get a second opinion just in case.
Just do not expose your computer to heat or humidity.
DO NOT TRY TO TURN YOUR COMPUTER ON AS WELL.
Again it’s a long shot, but good luck.
Ok I will see. As I said, the laptop doesn't have a HDD but an eMMC soldered on the motherboard.
They can still scrape that. It’s just a bit more difficult.
