Since 2016, most MacBooks have their storage soldered to the logic board. That means data recovery usually means repairing the board rather than removing a drive.
Devices we recover
- MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Intel T2 chips
- MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with Apple silicon (M1 to M4)
- Older MacBooks with removable SSDs
Problems we recover from
- MacBooks that won’t turn on after liquid damage
- Logic board power faults
- macOS that won’t start
- Deleted files, where recovery is still possible
On T2 and Apple silicon Macs the data is encrypted by the Mac’s own chip, so the original logic board has to work to read it. Board-level repair is how we get it back.
How it works
We assess the drive, tell you what’s wrong and what recovery will cost, and only go ahead when you agree. We work on a copy of the drive wherever possible, so your original isn’t put at further risk.
