Short answer
Very often yes. If a MacBook will not turn on, Apple usually offers a replacement, but the SSD is built into the logic board, so replacing it means losing all your files. We see at least five MacBooks a day that are liquid damaged or will not turn on, including ones described as having a dead logic board, and there is a very good chance we can get the data back.
It’s pretty common.
If the computer won’t turn on and Apple tests it, they usually offer a replacement.
Either under AppleCare or under warranty, or if it’s out of warranty, it’s, you know, something like around $1000 Australian dollars or more, depending on the model of the computer.
But if you do replace the logic board, the SSD is built in, which is where all your files are, and then you lose everything because you get a whole new SSD, with the new logic board.
So I’d probably say every day we get at least 5 MacBooks that are liquid damaged or won’t turn on.
We’ve been told the MacBook is dead, Logic board is dead, those kind of expressions, and we can very often get the data back.
There’s a very good chance.
