How we fix your Apple iBook G3 12" M8861
Every recovery starts with a free initial consultation, where we work out whether the fault is logical or physical and the best way to recover your files. Nothing goes ahead until you agree the price.
A working drive with deleted or corrupted files, or one formatted by mistake, is a logical recovery. Clicking or undetected drives are physical recoveries. Hard drives are opened in our clean room, sometimes with parts from a matching donor drive. We return your files on a new drive or copy them onto your repaired Apple iBook G3 12" M8861.
How long it takes
Deleted file recoveries usually take up to two hours of work. Larger logical recoveries take 24 to 48 hours, and physical recoveries depend on the drive's condition, so we give you an estimate after the diagnosis.
Good to know: Switch off a failing drive straight away and don't run recovery software on it. Every restart can destroy more data.

Common questions
How much does Apple iBook G3 12" M8861 data recovery cost?
The initial consultation is free. After that, the cost depends on whether the fault is logical (lost files on a working drive) or physical (a damaged drive). The price box on this page shows our starting prices, and we always confirm your price before any work starts.
Is my data kept private?
Yes. We only open files to check the recovery worked, and we don't keep copies once you have your data back.
