Abstract
A method and apparatus for reimaging of a computing device are provided. The apparatus may include a recovery device which connects to a computing device via a communication network or a connector. The recovery device may have the capability to retrieve data from and to transfer data to the computing device to simulate inputs of an input device. Sometimes the simulated inputs are in response to a prompt from the computing device for an input response. The recovery device may reimage software applications, operating systems, and data to replace and/or fix corrupted or damaged portions of information stored on a memory of the computing device without the need for other input devices.
