If the T2 security chip was damaged or corrupted, then there is absolutely no way to recover any data since the T2 security chip has the encryption keys to the hardware encrypted data on the SSD.Ī mac repair shop said that by spilling water on my 16" MacBook Pro, it's fried. There is a five star repair rated independent repair shop in NYC that specializes in repairing Apple Logic Boards (RRG - unable to link to them as the link will be removed). A repair shop that specializes in repairing damaged Logic Boards can also attempt to repair the Logic Board, however, Apple prevents these independent repair shops from purchasing some of the necessary components from the component manufacturers so it may be impossible to fix the board. Since the 2018+ models use a T2 security chip the Logic Board must be repaired at the board level in order to allow the T2 security chip to communicate with the SSD in order to decrypt the data on the SSD. Both vendors provide free estimates and both are recommended by Apple. If you don't have a backup, then your only option would be to contact a professional data recovery service such as Drive Savers or Ontrack to see if data recovery is possible.
