The 2016 - 2017 macbook pro has a removable SSD which is proprietary to Apple. Here we have made a customer pci adapter to get users data after the macbook failed to turn on.
Customer notes:
My Macbook Pro suddenly shut down and is not turning on, no chime, no Apple logo. There was no exposure to water. (However, I had kept a steaming bowl of hot water right next to the laptop.But this was in an open kitchen)
The Pro had less than 10% charge when it suddenly shut down. I charged it for another 10 minutes and tried to switch on, but no luck. I charged it completely till the magsafe indicator turned green, still does not turn on. So assumed that the battery is charging fine. I opened the mac and saw no visible corrosion or moisture(two tiny dots below the battery case are white and haven't turned red)
I have tried the following already.
1. SMC reset - With the magsafe adapter connected, when I do the reset the charge indicator turns green from orange.
2. Disconnected and reconnected the battery connector - still no life.
