A friend has a Retina MacBook 2016 and it no longer boots (I’m trying to help). Unfortunately, I can’t get to the Startup Manager and I can’t get Target Disk Mode to work either. I can physically remove/extract the logic board with the integrated SSD, but how do I transfer/copy the data from the non-functioning Retina MacBook 2016 to another Mac or PC? Thanks in advance for any help!
Sadly you can’t ;-{ Apple does have a special recovery tool. But, you need to be the original owner and of course the system needs to be intact. You’ll need to send the system in (or the Apple Store will) as only the service dept. has the tool. There is a fee and no warranties they can recover.
