HDD data recovery with a Liquid Damaged Logicboard
My buddy spilled something on his MacBook. He took it to a shop and after a few weeks they returned it to him and say they couldn’t do anything. I took a look for him and there was a pretty good amount of corrosion around the usb-c ports. Some simple troubleshooting by shooting for power at the 2R7 inductor with the usb-c charger plugged in and got 0 volts. From what I was able to find online, it seems the charging circuit is most likely fried. My buddy only wants the data from his HDD, but again, it would seem there is no real easy way to do it without getting a working 2016-2017 MacBook Pro. Am I missing something here? Is there anyway to recover the data without a working MacBook Pro? Also, any tips on what could be fried and what I should check? Thanks in advance.

@munkeyjoe you have removed the board to clean the corrosion from both sides? What 820-XXXXX is your board? Where else did you check for power? You tried to use the power on pads to start it? Post some pictures of your board (both sides)that are a bit more focused.

@oldturkey03 - Sadly the newer 2016 & 2017 Fn models don't have exposed power pads. The area effected is around the Thunderbolt 3 ports.

I did remove the board nothing got underneath it and I haven’t checked for power anywhere else really I’m just trying to get the data from his HDD for him he, Apple told him he would lose his data if he takes it to them.

@munkeyjoe what board number is this? You got to test more than one inductor to find out where (and if) there is a short
