Why your data only comes back through its own board

Years ago you took the hard drive out of a broken laptop and read it in another computer. On most MacBook models of recent years that no longer works. The storage is soldered to the logic board and encrypted with a key that only exists inside that machine's own security chip, so reading the chip on its own gives you nothing usable. The only way to your files is to get the original board working again. That is exactly what we do: we trace the fault at component level, repair it under the microscope and start the machine up again. Then we copy your data to an external drive or a new computer.

One top case, three parts

On recent MacBooks the keyboard, trackpad and battery are riveted into the top case. Convenient for the factory; for a repair it means a single dead key could in theory cost you the whole assembly. So we work at part level where we can rather than swapping the case as a unit. The same goes for the logic board: where many workshops write a board off, we measure it out and replace the component causing the fault. If your model has a Touch ID sensor, it is paired to the board, so it keeps working through a board repair — but not through a board replacement, and we tell you that up front.

Frequently asked questions about MacBook data recovery

Why do you need my password?

Because your data is encrypted, we cannot reach it without your login password, not even once the machine starts again. We only use it to copy your files and look at nothing more than that requires.

What should I definitely not do?

Do not restore or reinstall the machine, not through recovery mode and not from another Mac: that erases everything and your data is gone for good. Do not open it yourself, and do not keep charging it after liquid damage. A little extra damage to the board can make recovery impossible.

What if it does not work?

We tell you honestly after the diagnosis, and the diagnosis is free. With heavy liquid damage, or a board that has already been worked on elsewhere, the chances are lower. We only start the recovery once you know the assessment and the price and agree.

How long does data recovery take?

Count on a few working days. Measuring and soldering on the board takes time, and so does copying a full drive afterwards. After the diagnosis you get a realistic schedule.
