Hey there so i might just be missing it but is there a link to the actual tool used in the description anywhere? I'm seeing every other tool under the sun but not the one that I need to retrieve the data from the board.

[@jeremywanner5811]

Hi, where can I get this tools please?

[@davidhimes8967]

Hello, I have a 2017 model, will this tool work only in certain circumstances, or it’ll 100% of the time? Looking to send to you for help.

[@AlexanderBarmine-s6v]

Hey man please you gotta help me out, since I saw on your website that your no longer doing this repair. Can you let me know where to get that black box device? Apple is telling me its like $1700 to do this.

[@MohamedSaleem-ms]

Hi, How can i get the tool (The BlackBox) ?? I'm a technician and i have now MacBook pro 2016 that need to data recover. The owner of the computer does not want to send it to foreign countries. although I suggested it to him. can we pay for or rent the device ?? Or do you have another suggestion?? The data is very important for the owner of the computer, please answer. Apple Store 🏬 here couldn't help!!!

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Does the logicboard need to be removed from the device for this to work? Does everything need to be disconnected?

[@PowerbookMedic]

It's Binh Repaired You would need to disconnect the battery before attempting this, but everything else can stay.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@PowerbookMedic so I completely removed the logicboard for nothing? Lol damn

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@PowerbookMedic risked a friend's $4k macbook pro to make sure the device was working properly after it failed on another. It worked with just disconnecting the battery, thanks! The other one, I completely disassembled for nothing... :( Data wasn't recoverable. SSD was destroyed by the liquid spill.

Hi, I actually have had to replace my logic board but I really need my data from my old board for my University studies. Are you able to work with the newer Mac Book Pros 16inch logic boards? If not, where can I b directed to?

[@fatrick]

Hi, this is brilliant... and I am hoping that this may save me. I understand that the current method and tools used in this video does not work on the newer 2018 Touch Bar Models. Would the methodology work for a 2017 Touch Bar 15" Macbook Pro?

[@PowerbookMedic]

fatrick Thanks! Yes, it will work for the 2017 model.

[@fatrick]

@@PowerbookMedic wow... amazing. would it be possible to receive contact details to discuss further on next steps? thank you much.

[@tones1983]

@@PowerbookMedic where can I buy this tool from

[@superdupe8]

Is the SSD still on the logic board for all versions of this macbook pro? So I have a 2017 model but I paid more for extra storage, so it would still be this way?

[@GHawk2030]

Do you guys still offer this service and at what cost?

[@PowerbookMedic]

No, we no longer offer this service.

Hi. My name is Era and am from Abuja Nigeria. Am a big fan of teachings. I have used your teachings to fix so many MacBook Pros. I will like to know the name of that recovery tool for recovering data from a1707,a1706 etc. will really appreciate it. Thanks

[@kimmer127]

No it does not. I just see the access tool

[@mikegracia1475]

Is this tool still available from ANYWHERE? Have searched & searched and cannot seem to find it in stock anywhere :(

[@AdamJayTechnoElectro]

Will this work with a 2018 Touch Bar i9?

[@PowerbookMedic]

No. Unfortunately, this tool only works for the earlier models.

[@RanggaSena]

Hi there, where I can buy that tool? Do you sell it or maybe you can give the website? thank in advance

[@PowerbookMedic]

Ranggarain You may be able to find it online. It is a tough tool to find.

[@kimmer127]

my Macbook pro running Big Sur M1 2020 is plugged in. There is power to the tool and it appears to be clipped to the terminal. My broken computer is MacBook Pro A1706 mid 2017. I can't see the disk. Suggestions?

[@syhrlhlmy]

Have you tried to connect the tool with the same or earlier year Macbook model?

[@mrt1364]

Hi! I recently accidentally started decrypting my Macbook pro (same model as the example in the video), I restarted my MacBook and now unfortunately when I try to log in, the loading bar never fully loads and I am unable to login. is it possible to do data recovery while the disk is in decrypting mode?

[@PowerbookMedic]

Hello. Can you recover the data without remove the board from the mac computer? or is necessary uninstall the logical board? Thanks

Alejandro Morales You can just unhook the battery, you do not have to completely remove the logic board.

[@alejandromorales7006]

@@PowerbookMedic Two more questions, this tool works with Mac A1706, and the host computer for data copy need thunderbolt port? or can works with any USB-C or USB-A port? Thanks in advance.

[@PowerbookMedic]

Alejandro Morales It only works with the 2016-2017 boards. And the cable used is a USB-C cable to transfer the data.

Can I recover my data from macboo pro 2017 without touch bar model ? I checked the logic board I could not find the connector there. It has opposite site same connector.

[@PowerbookMedic]

The non-touchbar model has an SSD blade, so you can take the blade out and put it in another non-touchbar to recover data.

[@ttechcy2233]

@@PowerbookMedic Thanks for advice. Even apple authorized service does not do it this taking out the ssd and putting it in another macbook pro model. They told me it has unique ssd which we cannod access inside in it. Really ridiculous.
