For $29/mo, we provide access to advanced level technicians who will answer your questions on any Macbook board related matter to the best of their knowledge promptly & walk you through how to solve your problem so you can deliver a working board to your customer.
You keep telling that data can be saved.
I contact Apple and Apple third party both told they DO NOT do it.
HOW TO SAVE DATA?
Maybe in your location you CAN SAVE DATA!!
we are talking about different countries
I pay for this forum to find solution... fixes computers... receive money and put...
I’m really frustrated and confused at this point.
You initially advised me to bring the device in DFU mode to a third-party for data recovery. But now you’re saying that other components might be damaged? How would a third-party recover data if the board is damaged?
I’m seriously considering...
I called the authorized Apple in my city. Its the biggest one and they told me they don't do it
I called a friend who is an IRP (https://support.apple.com/pt-br/irp-program) which I assume is the same as third party authorized service and he told me they never receive any instructions/equipment...
Ok
Customer want to retrive data.
Can I assemble the machine without the MIC plugged in (since it's shorted) and without WIFI IC and bring it to Apple to recover data?
Also do you if they charge for this operation and how much is an estimation for this?
What would do to customer
Erase everything?
Turn it on?
Deliver it without wifi since this wifi IC doesnt exist on aliexpress?
How about microfone?
Please keep in mind i made 4 questions for you!!
Me as a technician cannot be able to recover his data?
So why are we still working to repair on these machines?
Doesn't make any sense anymore.
I spent a whole month here back and forth with you to arrive at this???
Seriously?
BTW
Tried DFU forcing with battery connected and it doesnt go
Only gives the message
CANNOT USE THUNDERBOLT ACCESSORY
Still I am using the SAME ORIGINAL CABLE
Do I need to connect the battery?
You asked if I connected the trackpad. But not sure if you have reading issues.
I told you before that I was only connected with
FAN
SCREEN
So trackpad is not connected.... the shorted mic is not connected and anything else that is not FAN and SCREEN
Now...
By the way I am only using the cable in the faulty mac
If I put cable and another cable as a charger... ti doesnt go to this lock screen and gives me this message
With the trackpad connected
I did t he revive and arrived at this screen on Apple Configurator.
However nothing happened on the faulty Mac.
What should I do?
Put in DFU mode however trying to revive I do get this message.
Actually what is most important for the customer is the data inside this computer. What to do now?
Just to add
I tried DFU... DFU forcing and same behavior... nothing appears on the mac beyond the message I previsouly sent here about thumderbolt
AGAIN I am using the original USB-C cable one for power and another for the connection between the two machines.
Replaced U8220 and now we do have 1V8_G3S
Just put the board in the case again only screen and fan connected
Now we have a different behavior
20.37V on the amp meter and we do not have fan spinning any more when pluggin the charger.
It doesn't happen nothing
Still we do have 1V8_G3S ;)...
Yes with the microphone connected PP1V8_G3S is in short.
So since I am not going to make it connected and still no short and 0V on this line.
What to do?
