MacBook recovery FAQ
Good to know
My MacBook won’t turn on — is my data lost?
Often not. A failed board or OS does not always mean the data is gone. We assess the model and storage to explain the recovery options. Success depends on the failure and device condition.
Can you recover from soldered Apple SSDs?
These are challenging because the storage is part of the board, but recovery is sometimes possible. Bring it in for an honest evaluation.
Does FileVault encryption affect recovery?
Yes. FileVault-protected data requires a valid unlock method, and some hardware failures prevent access even with a key. Keep your password or recovery key available, but do not send it through a quote form; discuss secure access with the technician.
Is the evaluation free?
Yes. We assess the device and explain the options, limitations and quote before paid work.
Your MacBook files may be recoverable
Even if it won’t boot, bring it in for a free evaluation of the storage and your recovery options.
Before you book
Planning your macbook data recovery request
What to prepare
Tell us the MacBook model and what happened before files became inaccessible. Keep any FileVault recovery key available for a secure discussion with the technician.
What to expect
Soldered storage, encryption and board damage can constrain recovery. Do not authorize an erase or operating-system reinstall when preserving the files is the priority.
Visit 20 Corporate Park, Ste 118, Irvine, CA 92606. Device walk-ins are welcome from 10:00 AM–6:00 PM. On-site visits and remote sessions are arranged by appointment.
