Fujitsu Data Recovery – Power Failure & Short Circuit Recovery Specialists

At Cardiff Data Recovery, we are Wales’s leading provider of expert Fujitsu data recovery services. With over 25 years of professional experience, we specialise in recovering lost data from laptops that have suffered sudden hardware failures — including short circuits and electrical damage.

In this case, the client’s Fujitsu laptop failed to boot following a power surge, most likely caused by a short circuit. After a failed attempt at recovery by a local repair shop, the drive was referred to our lab for expert-level data recovery. Our team successfully restored all user data by accessing the affected drive using controlled lab-based procedures.


⚠️ Symptoms – Fujitsu Laptop Not Booting After Short Circuit

  • Laptop powers on briefly or not at all
  • No BIOS or boot screen appears
  • Drive not detected by the system or external USB dock
  • Clicking, spinning, or beeping noises from internal storage
  • Motherboard or charging board appears damaged
  • Sudden shutdown followed by no restart
  • Local computer repair shop unable to access data

These signs typically point to electrical failure affecting the internal drive, not necessarily permanent data loss.


🛠️ Our Fujitsu Data Recovery Process – Step-by-Step

1. Drive Extraction and Diagnostic Inspection

  • The Fujitsu laptop is safely disassembled, and the internal drive is removed
  • We identify the drive type (typically SATA HDD, 2.5″ SSD, or M.2 NVMe)
  • The drive is tested on a write-blocked, forensic recovery system
  • Initial diagnostics reveal if damage is at the controller level, PCB, or firmware

We never work on your original system. Data recovery begins with a safe image of your drive.


2. Electrical & PCB Damage Assessment

If the short circuit affected the drive:

  • We inspect the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) for damage (burns, blown components, shorted capacitors)
  • If damage is confirmed, we replace the PCB with a matched donor board
  • The original ROM (firmware chip) is transferred to the donor PCB to retain drive identity and encryption keys
  • Drive is reconnected and tested for readiness for imaging

3. Firmware, Controller & Access Layer Recovery

If the drive does not initialise properly:

  • We use specialist tools (e.g. PC-3000) to access and repair firmware modules
  • Bad firmware sectors, translator errors, or microcode corruption are corrected
  • Logical access is restored, allowing us to begin low-level sector imaging

4. Sector-by-Sector Imaging & Data Extraction

Once the drive is stable:

  • We create a bit-for-bit image of the drive to secure all recoverable data
  • Damaged sectors are imaged using slow-read and ECC-recovery modes
  • Once the image is complete, the file system (usually NTFS or exFAT) is analysed and repaired
  • Data is recovered in full folder structure, including Documents, Desktop, Downloads, and custom directories

5. Verification and Data Return

  • Recovered files are verified for integrity and usability
  • Data is returned on a secure, encrypted external drive
  • A summary report is provided outlining recovery scope and results
