Short answer

Yes, we are very successful with liquid damage on MacBooks. A few years ago very few people could do this repair, because the SSD is built into the logic board. Today we have the training, schematic software and spare parts to recover data from damaged MacBooks. We check your device for free, diagnose whether the logic board is damaged or the problem is much simpler, and give you a written quote. We only recommend it if it is worthwhile and you have no iCloud backup.

Yes, we are highly successful with liquid damage on MacBooks. Approximately five years ago, very few individuals possessed the capability to perform this type of repair work. Most would assert that the SSD is integrated into the logic board, or motherboard, and data recovery is impossible, rendering the computer irreparable.

Since that time, extensive training, expertise, schematic software with circuit board information, and spare parts have become available for recovering data from damaged MacBooks with an onboard SSD. Therefore, we can certainly examine your device free of charge. We will diagnose the problem, determining whether the logic board is damaged or if there is a much simpler issue.

The cost depends on the damage, and we give a written quote before any work starts. However, we will conduct a free assessment and inform you of the issue. We have a high success rate with liquid damaged MacBooks. We would only recommend this service if it is beneficial for you and you have not made any iCloud backups on the computer.
