Technician at Data Recovery firm

We fix what other shops don't work on, from MacBook logic boards to iPhones that won't power after getting dropped in the ocean, to hard drives that click.Apply if you're good at any one of these three. Each one is its own specialized field in and of itself: I have no illusion that you will be good at all of them! Component level board repair. Mostly MacBooks. A machine comes in dead, and you find the failed part with a multimeter & a schematic, then solder to replace that part under a microscope without lifting pads or cooking the chips next to it. If you've reballed a chip or troubleshooted a complex circuit, let us know. iPhone data recovery. The phone won't power on and the owner wants the photos off it. You get that board running long enough to pull the data. The parts are smaller than anything on a MacBook, and one torn pad near the NAND can end the recovery.Hard drive and SSD recovery in the lab. PC-3000, donor heads, platter cleaning, clean room work. You've swapped heads, you can image a drive with weak heads without finishing it off, and you can tell when firmware is the real fault. Knowledge in this area is at the higher end of the salary range. What you needSoldering experience you can show us in photos of your own work.Notes the front desk can explain to a customer. Customers get quoted off what the technician writes, so "needs platter cleaning, head swap" has to be right when you write it.You tell us when a job can't be done here. Who this isn't forIf your repair work so far is screens, batteries and charge ports, and you've never diagnosed a board, this isn't the job yet.PayPay depends on what you can already do at the bench, and the range is wide. Someone with soldering but minimal diagnostic/troubleshooting experience is much different than someone who runs PC-3000 cases on their own! This is anywhere from $25/hr to six figures depending on your experience level.
