Recycling That Old Computer or Cell Phone?

8:04 PM  High Tech House Calls, Expert Computer Consulting  


Is there data on your electronic device that you don't want the world to see such as last year's tax return or the credit card information for your iTunes account?
 
There are two methods we offer for you to secure data from old devices:
  1. Removal of the hard drive from the computer. You can keep the computer for the "just in case" situation where there is data on the old hard drive that you may still need. High Tech House Calls can read the data off of the hard drive and copy the files you need to your new computer at any time. Your old computer will be recycled without the hard drive that contains your personal data. 
  2. Your hard drive can be re-formatted. This erases the contents of the hard drive.  For other devices such as cell phones and tablets, those devices can be reset to a factory default. The device will look the same as when you first bought it home with none of your data on it.

Once you device is secure, High Tech House Calls can recycle your equipment legally or help you sell it through eBay or other buyer/seller websites.
