Hello,
Background:
I'm the proud and despondent owner of a Macbook Air that's apparently died after I forgot it on the garden table for the time it took to be rained on... The machine won't boot, won't talk to me when I ask for forgiveness either-- sadly, I think she's done.
Machine:
All I know is that on the back of it the model is described as A1645 EMC 2631. I think this is a mid-2013 or early-2014.
What I'm trying to do:
At this stage, I am hoping I can get the SSD drive out and recover my data. For this, I understand I need to find an adapter into which to plug the SSD and that will allow me to stick it into a USB port on my MacBook Pro as an external drive.
Question:
i can't manage finding an adapter that suits. I found a product on Amazon but it's for 2012 models of the A1645 persuasion and I'm told this is not going to work.
Would anybody be in a position to either
- point at the right product I need to be looking for
- hep me understand how to figure out the actual specs of the SSD if I need to organise my search differently (something else than google 'Macbook air A1645 SSD adapter to USB")
- point at a documented walkthrough of what I'm trying to do
- wave a magic wand and make it better
With many thanks and kind regards,
PS: I'm a newbie here, I looked up the forum a bit but can't find what I'm looking for and add to this that I don't really know what I'm looking for -- thanks for your kind understanding.
