How it's done
How We Perform MacBook Data Recovery
What our technicians do, what it requires, and how to tell you need it.
1 How It's Performed
For a recovery case, the first thing we do is stop using the affected drive entirely and work from a sector-by-sector image of it, so every recovery attempt happens on a copy — never the original — protecting whatever data is still intact from further damage during the process.
Typical time: 2–48 hours depending on damage severity
2 What This Requires
- A sector-by-sector image/clone of the drive made before any recovery attempt — this is non-negotiable, since every recovery technique after this point works on the copy, not your only surviving copy of the data.
- A clear diagnosis of logical vs. physical failure, since the two require entirely different tools and techniques.
- For physically damaged drives: a controlled environment to avoid introducing further contamination while the drive is open.
3 When You Need This
- A laptop was dropped, exposed to liquid, or suffered a power failure mid-write, and files have been missing or corrupted since.
- A RAID array lost one or more member drives and needs reconstruction rather than a single-disk recovery.
Who repairs your device
Repaired in-house by Xigox technicians
MacBook Data Recovery is handled by Xigox technicians from start to finish, never handed on to another shop. Work that needs the repair bench is done at our workshop in Virar West.
Board-level faults are traced with a microscope, a multimeter and a soldering station before any part is replaced, and parts are fitted only after you approve the quote.
We don't open your personal files during a repair. When a job needs access to your data, such as data recovery or a Windows reinstall, we ask you first.
- Repaired in-house, not outsourced
- Quote approved by you before work starts
- Your files stay private
- Microscope and board-level tools
- Genuine or OEM-grade parts
- 90-day warranty on repairs

MacBook specifics
What MacBook Data Recovery Means on a MacBook
MacBooks are sealed, glued and board-integrated, so almost nothing is a plug-in swap. Repairs are component-level work on the logic board, not module replacement.
Why it happens on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro owners
- Thermal paste degradation on tightly packed M-series and Intel boards
- Blocked rear-vent airflow under the hinge
- Liquid ingress through the keyboard into the logic board
- Swollen battery pressing on the trackpad and top case
What our MacBook technician checks
- Apple Diagnostics and full board voltage-rail read
- Thermal imaging of the heat pipe and fan assembly
- Corrosion inspection under the keyboard membrane
- Battery cycle count and health via system report
MacBook hardware we work on
- Apple Silicon M-series and Intel logic boards
- Butterfly and Magic Keyboard assemblies
- Retina display assemblies with bonded glass
- Battery packs adhesived into the top case
- Thunderbolt / USB-C charging boards
- T2 security chip and SSD soldered to board
Models we see most often
- MacBook Air M1 / M2
- MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar
- MacBook Pro 14" and 16" M-series
- MacBook Pro Retina 15"
Because storage is soldered on T2 and Apple Silicon boards, we take a full image before any board work so nothing is lost if the SSD controller is affected.
Do you use genuine Apple parts?
We use OEM-grade and original-pull Apple components, and we tell you which one your quote covers before any work starts. Board-level repair keeps costs well below Apple's whole-unit replacement price.
