Overview

Many modern MacBooks use soldered SSDs tied to security silicon (T2/Apple Silicon). If your MacBook won't power on, you can't just unplug your drive. Our team performs board-level work in-house to safely access your data.

Board-level inspection to enable MacBook data recovery
We access data by repairing what's needed on the logic board, safely, in our Austin lab.

Common Symptoms

If you're seeing any of the following, data recovery is likely possible even when Apple or others said it isn't:

  • • MacBook does not turn on (no power / no image).
  • • Liquid spill aftermath: random shutdowns, won't boot, or no response.
  • • "Not charging" or won't run on battery; suddenly dead after adapter unplug.
  • • T2/M1/M2 model: storage is soldered and can't be removed.
  • • Data needed from a machine Apple wants to board-swap or replace.

Our Process

  1. Free Evaluation: We examine the MacBook to confirm the failure and safest path. You approve a flat-rate before work proceeds.
  2. Board-Level Access: We repair the logic board as needed. For T2/Apple Silicon, this is essential to access soldered storage.
  3. Secure Imaging: Once readable, we image and extract your files to a target drive, verifying integrity.
  4. Delivery: We return your data on your drive (or one purchased here) and discuss next steps if you want the Mac fully repaired.
Typical timing: Most recoveries complete in 2-5 business days after approval. Rush options available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you recover data from a MacBook that won't turn on?
Yes. We do board-level work to bring the logic board to a readable state or interface with storage chips to extract your files.
Does the T2 or Apple Silicon (M1/M2) chip prevent recovery?
Not necessarily. While storage is tied to the logic board & encrypted, we specialize in board-level repair and chip-level access to make the data readable again.
How long does MacBook data recovery take?
Most cases complete in 2-5 business days once we begin. Rush options are available.
Will my MacBook be fully repaired after recovery?
Our primary goal is to get your data. Often the board repair restores function, but data extraction doesn't guarantee full refurbishment.
What do you need from me to start?
Bring or ship the complete MacBook. We need the full machine to verify functions and safely access storage.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your device remains in our Austin lab. Only assigned technicians handle it. We can sign an NDA on request.
How much does it cost if recovery fails?
No data = no charge. If we cannot recover anything, you owe $0 for the recovery attempt.
How do I send my Mac if I'm not in Austin?
Use our mail-in option. Pack securely, include your details, and ship to our Austin lab.
