Frequently Asked Questions

1. QUESTION:
   My Macbook Pro's motherboard died. What is the cheapest method to retrieve important files?
   It costs 2.3K to fix the motherboard since I don't have a warranty anymore. What is some cheaper method for me to retrieve my files A.S.A.P? They said they are able to take out my external hard drive for 0 but what am I suppose to do with that? Take it to another shop to retrieve my files? Can't they do it without taking my external hard drive out.

   • ANSWER:
     If your macbook is dead just buy a new one. TO get your files you will need to remove the hard drive and put in in an external case. You can remove the hard drive yourself. Since the macbook is dead you dont need to worry about breaking it really. Here is a video that walks you through removing your hard drive.

     Then buy this for .00 and put the hard drive in it.

     NOTE: This external case can only support a hard drive that is 320 gb or smaller if yours is bigger you will need a more expensive external case. like this one:

     Now you can have access to all you important files on your new computer or any computer.
