MBPr water damaged, how do I get data out?

[GrimStranger]

So my cat knocked over a glass and poured water right on to the keyboard of my MBPr 13". My bad, should not have had any liquid in a container without a lid near the laptop.

Now the MBPr would not boot and I'm not sure how I can get my data out.

I used to have all of my data synced to other machines for backup purposes but I moved to Germany last year and left all of my gears at my house. And now the cat did this.

I went to an authorized Mac repair shop and was told that the Mac SSD uses different firmware and I can't just get a regular enclosure to retrieve the data. It has to be a specialized adapter/reader.

Did any poor soul have the same experience and got their data back?

Sorry to hear your laptop is damaged... I would recommend removing the bottom cover and try to dry it out with some paper towels and leave it 48 hours and see if it works. I had a similar problem and work where someone spilt coffee all over a Mac Book Air and after waiting 48 hours it did work. Another option is try to hold the T key on boot up and see if it goes into target boot mode and then you might be able to recover the data with a thunderbolt lead if you have another Mac or a friends you could borrow.

you can buy an external enclosure, if you look at the link below you'll see the manufacturers for the various years as it changes. good luck

If it's the newer (late 2013 or newer) machine, I don't think such an enclosure even exists.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give it a try. Fingers crossed.

It's a late 2013 MBPr 13". I read in another thread that the OWC Envoy Pro would do the trick. I might give that a try..
