Against my will na 2021-05-30 
The first time from the bottom of my heart to evaluate, first of all, technology: really too first-class, they find a lot of people in life are not good to repair the results of people in minutes. 
The second service attitude: they feel stupid can, fortunately, have the patience to reply me. 
The third cost: if you do not compare may not really know how cheap, looking for offline computer store, reported thousands, they are a few hundred dollars, only later learned that the repair computer will not restore data at all, they have no technology, two no equipment, three no environment, they are next to the data recovery company to do, so the charges are also very outrageous. In the future, I will recommend and share with people around me.
