WHY REPAIR MODULE 1?

In digital forensics, damaged or non-functioning mobile devices are one of the most common barriers to successful data extraction. Reboot's Repair Module 1 gives your team the foundational skills to overcome this challenge in-house, reducing your turnaround times, considerably lowering those high outsourcing costs and increasing the volume of devices your laboratory can deal with.

We will teach you how to successfully deal with damaged screens and data ports along with addressing power issues that stop devices working. We will also share other tips on device repair to increase your success rates.

By bringing repair capability into your working processes, you gain greater control over evidential continuity and can respond faster to investigative demands. Repair Module 1 is a stand alone teaching module which is also a stepping stone to Reboot's Repair Modules 2 and 3.

WHO WILL BENEFIT

This course is designed for digital forensic practitioners, law enforcement officers, in-house forensic examiners, and laboratory managers who want to expand their capability to include mobile device repair. It is ideal for anyone who regularly encounters damaged, non-functioning, or unresponsive mobile devices during forensic examinations and wants to develop the skills to bring those devices into a working or suitable condition for data extraction.
