My tablet won't charge anymore — is the data lost?

No, the data is not lost. A charging problem is related to the battery, the connector, or a power component — not the memory chip. Your files remain intact on the internal memory.

If the tablet no longer starts due to a lack of battery, our technicians can:

  • Replace the battery or directly power the motherboard to access the data
  • Extract the NAND memory directly if the motherboard is defective

Data recovery is possible in the vast majority of cases, even if the tablet is permanently out of service.
