I ruined my Surface due to a coffee spill and had no backup (yes, I know I should backup regularly) and Chipheads successfully extracted all of my files - including data files from my applications - so that I could transfer them to my new device. They completed the work in the estimated time frame and the recovery was well worth the price.

Today at Wednesday 29 September me and my friend went to Best Buy for a possible battery issue with lenovo laptop they said it couldnt be fixed and if it were they would have to order parts which will take them 7 days and cost us approximately 330 dollars, we then went to another guy who gave us an estimate of 249 to 349 dollars but referred us to chipheads instead. Fortunately for our fate chipheads fixed the display issue due to new software because the guy at Best Buy didnt diagnose the problem correctly. This kind elderly guy took 15 min of our time and fixed the laptop without any cost

This place is GREAT! The guys are so helpful and knowledgeable. My computer is 6 years old. The hardrive was running slow. Chipheads got rid of the malware, added a new hardrive and memory. All for a good price. If I would have taken this hardrive to Best Buy the would have told me it couldn't be fixed and sold me a news computer. Stick with Chipheads! They're fabulous!

A global pandemic is already tough... but when a beloved hard drive takes a nose dive off a standing desk and dies a slow painful death, things get even more complex. Thinking you've lost 20+ years of design work, then being quoted thousands of dollars by a chain recovery location, is like a swift kick in the head. If you're lucky, you'll find Chipheads and pay a super reasonable price for a diagnostic check and a bit extra if data recovery if possible. By Scott, (literally) the data was recovered gracefully AND at the reasonably quoted price. Scott is even willing to help save the earth, by safely

I searched all over to find a computer repair shop. My wife's computer had apparently been taken over by junk , and after many hours of working on it I found Chip Heads and took my computer over to them. Mike called within two days and said it was done. I have never dealt with anyone as excellent as this business. My wife was so happy to get her device back . They will be my first call in the future.

They seem like good folks, but... BUT, ran an intensive software program on a damaged hard drive of mine that I explained was a mechanical issue (head and platter issue). They misrepresented their work as if it were not purely software. The week of software working on my Hard Drive scrapped every last piece of data into digital dust. Something I learned after 3 subsequent data recovery services. In essence they lost very important data of mine for $30. If you need anything else from them, it would seem they're great.
