- Photographer data recovery guidance for SD cards, CFexpress cards, XQD cards, camera cards, external drives, Lightroom catalogues, Capture One sessions, laptops, and client work.
- Stop using the device before charging a wet smartphone, mobile phone, iPhone, Pixel phone, or Android phone; formatting a card; rebuilding RAID; restoring; or running write-heavy scans.
- Useful for smartphones, mobile phones, iPhones, Google Pixel phones, Android phones, cameras, SD cards, USB drives, laptops, hard drives, SSDs, external drives, and RAID/NAS cases.
- This is travel-focused service guidance, not a claim of a local Aceon office.
What to do right now
- Wet smartphone, mobile phone, iPhone, Pixel phone, or Android phone, including when someone says the phone went for a swim: keep it powered off, do not charge it, avoid heat or rice, and preserve the phone for data recovery.
- Phone repair searches: if the goal is photos, videos, messages, contacts, WhatsApp, app data, or business information, data-recovery triage should come before routine repair, reset, restore, charging-port repair, screen repair, battery swap, or repeated power-on attempts.
- Camera card or USB: do not format, repair, or continue using the same media.
- Hard drive or SSD: stop power-ons if it clicks, freezes, disappears, or becomes very slow.
- RAID or NAS: do not rebuild, initialize, or reorder drives until the case has been reviewed.
- Tell Aceon what happened, what was tried, where you are, when you return, and which files matter most.

Pause before a card or camera repair.
If a camera card, phone, drive, or computer contains the only copy of a shoot, stop formatting, repairing, restoring, or repeatedly powering it on until the files have been reviewed.
Clear guidance without false local claims.
Aceon provides data recovery intake and guidance for serious data-loss cases. These pages provide travel and location guidance; they route visitors to Aceon's public intake, phone, and shipping guidance without presenting an onboard service, third-party travel relationship, airport, hotel, campus, or storefront presence, local repair shop, posted price promise, outcome certainty, payment instruction, or non-public operational detail.
