Hello. I have a relative who accidentally dropped a Huawei Nova 3i into washing machine. When it was passed to me, the phone was full of water in the inside. I then proceed to dismantle the phone and dries everything with a hair dryer. I gurss it's too late. he phone won't turn on.

So, is there a data recovery service for this phone? My relative is willing to pay thousands to get back the data (mostly photos) in the phone. Preferably in Malaysia. I suppose Singapore is still acceptable.

They didn’t sync to Google photo or huawei cloud??

That's a good question. I'm going to check on that.

Photos might sync to Google Photos if it was turned on (slightly lower quality images)

otherwise you'll probably need to find some data recovery specialist that can desolder the nand flash chip and dump the contents from there

I have no recommendations but it is not going to be cheap

I know it's going to be hard as need to remove chip and read directly. I tried googling for such service in Malaysia, but I could only find service for hard disks. I'm really looking for recommendations for such specialist.
