Chosen Solution
My buddy spilled something on his MacBook. He took it to a shop and after a few weeks they returned it to him and say they couldn’t do anything. I took a look for him and there was a pretty good amount of corrosion around the usb-c ports. Some simple troubleshooting by shooting for power at the 2R7 inductor with the usb-c charger plugged in and got 0 volts. From what I was able to find online, it seems the charging circuit is most likely fried. My buddy only wants the data from his HDD, but again, it would seem there is no real easy way to do it without getting a working 2016-2017 MacBook Pro. Am I missing something here? Is there anyway to recover the data without a working MacBook Pro? Also, any tips on what could be fried and what I should check? Thanks in advance.
I think you need to ship out the system to someone with the deeper skills and needed parts. Think of it like doctors,you go to your primary physician for a check up, clearly their skills are diagnostic and deal with simple issues. You go to a hospital to have your appendix removed when it gets infected. But, its likely they don’t have the deeper skills to handle cancer. This is where a specialist is needed! Thats the case here! Where are you located country and nearest city?
