HP Pavilion dv2000 data recovery and repair
Data recovery, repairs and upgrades for the HP Pavilion dv2000, the 2006–2008 laptop, with a 14.1-inch screen. Most of the older computers we see now come in for the photos and files on them: even after years in a drawer, the data is usually still there. Bring it to our London SE1 workshop, or send it by tracked courier from anywhere in the UK.

Getting your files back
The HP Pavilion dv2000 uses a standard SATA hard drive (an SSD if it has been upgraded). Even if it hasn’t been switched on for years, the files are usually still there. We take the drive out and copy it sector by sector before recovering anything, so nothing is written to the original. If it clicks, buzzes or isn’t detected, it is opened in our clean-air cabinet.
What it costs
- Free first consultation
- Deleted or lost files on a healthy drive: £99 + VAT
- Clicking or dead drive: clean room diagnostic £79 + VAT, then £450 + VAT plus a donor drive if needed
- Your files back on a new external drive, or copied to your new computer
