Computer repair vs data recovery - the difference
For computers, many people combine the repair with data recovery. I will differentiate between these terms. Computer or laptop repair is a term used when a computer or laptop goes out of order and a repair or revival attempt is made to bring it back to life so that it can be used for daily work (including accessing store files). This may include a lot of different factors such as fixing windows or operating system, removing viruses, reinstalling programs, transferring files to a usb if the computer stops running, or other issues such as changing power supply and/or replacing a hard drive, ram or motherboard. Any action that can bring the computer back to life so that it is ready for use again is known as a computer or laptop repair. In theory, it can also be named as computer or laptop recovery which means, recovering the computer's life when it is sick or dead. The repair cost is usually less because it does not require a special environment or tools needed for sensitive procedures such as data recovery. Additionally, repair jobs can be done in either a few minutes or up to a couple of hours.
Data recovery is totally different procedure. A lot of the time, recovery or data recovery is easily confused with a normal repair. Data recovery is the process of extracting data from a dead, defective, liquid damaged, physically damaged computer or hard drive that may need special effort and processes to bring the data back. This could include software data recovery attempts or physical work done on a hard drive such as a head transplant and clean room operations etc. Data recovery costs are usually high because it requires expensive tools, extensive techniques, and many hours of work.
