Cardiff Data Recovery is Wales’s No.1 data recovery specialist for failed NVMe SSDs. With 25 years of experience and industry-leading tools, we offer expert nvme data recovery services for HP desktop and laptop computers suffering from unexpected SSD failures — even where there are no early warning signs or SMART alerts.
If your HP PC has suddenly stopped recognising the internal NVMe drive, or you’re seeing errors such as “No bootable device” or “Drive not detected,” you may be experiencing a catastrophic NAND or power regulation failure. Our engineers can recover your critical files, even if the SSD is completely dead or inaccessible.
🔍 Understanding NVMe SSD Failure in HP Systems
NVMe SSDs offer fast performance but can fail without warning due to:
- Controller failure (e.g. Phison, Silicon Motion, Samsung, WD controllers)
- NAND degradation (particularly in TLC or QLC flash memory)
- Power regulation circuit faults
- Sudden shutdown or power loss during write operations
- Firmware corruption
- Thermal stress or repeated overheating
- Voltage irregularities damaging onboard components
Unlike traditional drives, NVMe SSDs often provide no audible warning and cannot be recovered using standard data recovery software.
🛠️ Our NVMe SSD Recovery Process – Step-by-Step
1. Initial Diagnosis & Drive Identification
- Drive is inspected for physical and electrical faults
- Power regulation circuits, capacitors, and controller components are tested for damage
- Flash configuration is identified (chip layout, controller model, NAND type)
2. Chip Isolation & Read Preparation
If the drive is not responding:
- The SSD is removed from its enclosure (if embedded)
- NAND flash chips are desoldered using non-destructive hot air rework
- Each NAND chip is cleaned, socketed, and read using a hardware-level flash reader
This “chip-off” method bypasses the controller entirely and accesses the raw memory blocks directly.
3. Data Extraction & Translation
- The raw dump is scanned for ECC errors, wear-leveling blocks, and bad sectors
- Controller-specific algorithms are used to reconstruct the logical file system (FTL mapping reconstruction)
- In the case of encrypted HP SSDs, decryption keys are extracted from embedded controller data (if available)
4. Logical File System Recovery
- Reconstructed file system (NTFS, exFAT, etc.) is analysed and validated
- Files and folders are organised according to their original structure
- Fragmented or deleted data is recovered using signature carving where needed
5. Data Return & Reporting
- Recovered data is transferred securely to a new storage device
- A full recovery report is provided, including recovered folder structure and any damaged files

📞 Contact Cardiff Data Recovery – NVMe Data Recovery Experts
If your HP PC has suffered a sudden SSD failure, do not attempt further reboots or formatting — this could overwrite essential recovery data. NVMe drives require specialist equipment and skills that most local IT services do not offer.
Contact Cardiff Data Recovery today for a free diagnostic. We are your reliable experts in nvme data recovery, restoring your lost files when your SSD fails without warning.
