And the same goes for Mac computers equipped with advanced components, although they deliver excellent performance in most cases.
I went around and asked what happens if there's a production board test failure, and usually it was that the entire board gets scrapped because it's not worth it to try to diagnose and fix them, other than maybe a few samples for failure analysis.īut when it's YOUR DATA and it's not backed up, then that takes on a whole new meaning.It seems inevitable that machines will fail you every now and then because they are not perfect. My background includes working on a feature that supported board testing and companies which used BGA packages. I certainly get that from a production standpoint it's either it works or it doesn't. But the important thing for anyone to understand is that if the board needs some repair in order to extract the data, Apple simply doesn't repair boards and AASPs aren't supposed to either. Apple at first did not provide a way to retrieve data from the T2 models, but later backpedaled to allow AASP's to attempt data recovery on damaged systems.

Don't choose this option without exhausting all the other ones first since more damage could occur to the electronics. If Apple, an AASP and the professional data recovery services are unable to assist or are too expensive, then a last ditch effort would be to try cleaning the boards to see if it will allow the system to at least power on for Target Disk Mode. If the laptop powers on, then Target Disk Mode may be a possibility if it is still an available option with the default security settings.

I thought with water damage it’s mostly caps blowing out and/or contacts getting corroded. This is more like an iPhone or iPad where everything is encrypted and the only hope of getting things back is that the encryption and flash are intact and there’s no major board damage. Well, I’m thinking of one particular guy who might be able to do it.
