MacBook & iMac Data Recovery

First: power off and don't plug the charger back in. Every further boot attempt risks making the damage worse. Triggers for data loss: a dead logic board, water damage, or a drop. On modern Macs (M1 through M5 and Intel with T2 chip), the SSD is hardware-bound to the logic board, so data recovery here means repairing the board far enough for the system to boot. Often you get not just the data back but a working device too.

Data recovery on M1-M5 (Apple Silicon): On Apple Silicon (M1 through M5) the flash storage is soldered to the logic board and hardware-encrypted via the Secure Enclave inside the SoC. Pulling the NAND chips off gets you nothing: without the matching SoC, the contents can't be decrypted. The only path: repair the board far enough that the system boots again. Applies to every Pro and Air model across the entire M-series.

Data recovery on T2 MacBooks: On T2 MacBooks the storage is hardware-encrypted and tied to the board as well. Same path: logic-board repair first.

Water-damage data recovery: Coffee, water, wine: whatever liquid reached the board keeps corroding from inside. We clean thoroughly and repair at component level, including severe cases.

Why us: Data recovery on modern Macs is logic-board repair at chip level, and that's exactly what we've done every day since 2015. We treat your data as confidential and delete our workshop copies after handover.
