So yes I messed up...
I have a Macbook A1534 (12" Early 2015) with the NAND flash memory chip soldered on the main logic board. Toshiba TH58TFT0DFKLAVF 128 GB MLC NAND Flash I believe. Actually it's my wife's, that's why I feel super guilty at this moment.
So I was changing the battery in the computer as the old one was dead. I had changed plenty of mac laptop batteries before, so I really thought nothing of it. This one was a pain. Turns out the old battery was glued to the case... in the process of getting it out I managed to puncture it which caused some sparks... I was annoyed but that was it.
So then I put the computer back together, and lo and behold it wouldn't boot up. Double checked everything, still wouldn't boot up. Then I thought perhaps when I punctured the battery what it it caused a surge and then burnt out the main logic board? Yeah I messed up...
So now this is beyond my skill... but is there anyone here who has the ability to de-solder the NAND chip from the logic board, put it into a reader and read it to get the data back? It's not encrypted and there is no damage to the chip. My wife works from home and no it's not backed up (I know, I know...) and my guilt level is super high right now as this is going to cause her to have to re-do about 2 weeks worth of work.
I'm looking for someone located in the U.S. - I can overnight you the logic board. Of course, I am willing to pay via Paypal. If you're willing and able to do this, please let me know!
