Hello guys, My early 2015 13” MacBook Pro recently just went through water damage. Turns out everything is fine except my SSD [MZ-JPV2560/0A3]. I took my SSD to couple independent data recovery firm (which all have good reviews), both told me there is a high possibility of main control chip being broken. One refused to do it because it is too risky with very low recover rate. The other one did performed a chip-swap but failed. They took some components out and glued back again. I am attaching the picture of my SSD as well. is there any possible way to extract data from my failed SSD? or it is completely gone?
If data recovery centres were unable to extract data off the chips then there’s no way to get it off. Basically think of it as the chips are fried from liquid damage.
It does not look like the SSD was touched! I don’t see any damage and the board and chips coating appears to be intact! So I don’t think they did anything to your SSD either. I would get the needed USB case to hold the SSD and then connect it up to another Mac which is running MacOS Mojave (as I’m suspecting your drive is running APFS). Lets give Disk Utility a try again and if that still can’t see your SSD we’ll need to try a 3rd party app Drive Genius 5 see if the demo will see your drive.
