Data recovery for new models 2016+

[G.Beard]

Hi. Just got off the phone to a potential business customer who tell me there is a port somewhere on the new MacBooks to gain access to the SSD for data recovery... Is this right?

 

[dukefawks]

I have not looked at it yet. But looking at the 12" model there is none. Also the SSD requires many voltages, so the board needs to sort of power on. I doubt it will be that easy, but people who want their data will make up BS stories like this.

Apple sells AASP's a tool to recover data from these boards. I'll order it and post more details when I have it here.

Just been sent this link:

Thing is, if a board is totally fucked that's it. Could just fix up an insurance write off board and have it there ready to slap the SSD onto, power up and pull off the data. I'm not so sure how many uses you would get from one board though.

Most certainly would like to hear more about that tool

Interesting, lets wait till China rips this one off.

I wonder what the GSX price is on this tool?

 

[Gurmon]

No Title

Who wants one ?? ;-)

 

[Sykulski]

I do

Can you order one for me? Just tell me how to pay in a PM

 

[dukefawks]

That is a very reasonable price. I'll see if I can order one here too.

 

[Therealkilometers]

[Repairable]

[dukefawks]

Not unless you become an AASP, so never.

 

[Repairable]

i had more hope of getting the machine, not get acces to GSX

 

[arghhh]

Probably will need you to log into GSX to use anyways.

Once you had a chance to use this device could we have a quick report please? .... Like how it works with fault X on the board, etc.

 

[Gurmon]

I have the device,and I have already seen a few dead 2016 model macbook pros. Since Apple have no parts for the 2016 available at the moment, they are exchanging these computers.

I'll try to use the device tomorrow

I have also seen a few of the 2016 macs with graphics anomalies, not looking good...however this has nothing to do with this thread, so i'll stfu....

 

[G.Beard]

All the same cause of death?

 

[G.Beard]

Okay, Louis, i have ordered the part.
Part number B076-00236.

Any results to update please?... Like does it need to connect to GSX etc?

 

[Gurmon]

I will try to update this weekend. Still haven't had time to play. You dont need GSX to play with this. .
