I am Back with tons of Static electricity

People living in Pakistan see a loss of electricty quite frequently but rarely excess of electricity – apart from the few surges we get every hour or so, well yours truly experienced a surge of static electiricty in my laptop which corrupted the magentic fields of my hard disk (at least thats my diagnosis). Sadly I won’t be able to blame Big Brother neither anyone else around except Toshiba the maker of my P20 Satellite Laptop (and ofcourse its typically beyond my warranty)

A few days back when I used to touch the laptop it gave me a tingle of static electricity, I thought nothing of it until the horrible Thursday night when I inserted my PCMIA Wireless Card to connect to my Wireless LAN and then I it probably triggered a static charge which I presume crashed my hard disk. I tried all sorts of data recovery softwares on the market to only be able to recover about 2GB of my 55GB hard disk. On a last resort I tried a sector-by-sector scan with Easy Recovery Pro which to my surpriese found about 13Gb of data lying on the harddisk. I have yet to rummage through the recovered data but feel that something is better then nothing at all.

As a backup I had copied all my data about 5 months ago onto another Laptop but sadly that Laptop also suffered a fatal Harddisk crash, the techie blamed it on a Physical reading error. My hopes only lie there now, I have the Hard disk secured safely but need to find someone in Pakistan who can fix or recover the problematic harddisk and maybe save some of the data in that drive, any recommendations for a good team in Karachi?
