Apple Data Recovery Services for MacBook, iMac, iPhone & Apple Silicon Macs

Professional Apple Data Recovery for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, and iPhone devices. Whether your Apple device has suffered liquid damage, won’t power on, has a failed SSD, logic board damage, macOS corruption, or accidental file deletion, our engineers use advanced board-level diagnostics and specialized recovery techniques to recover your important data.

From Intel-based Macs to Apple Silicon M1, M2, M3, and M4 systems with soldered SSDs and T2 Security Chip encryption, we recover data from Apple devices that many repair shops consider unrecoverable. Local customers are welcome to visit our Virginia lab, while our nationwide mail-in service allows customers across the United States to safely ship their Apple devices for professional data recovery.

Professional Apple Data Recovery Experts

Apple devices use advanced storage technologies, encryption, and tightly integrated hardware that require specialized knowledge to recover data successfully. At LapFix, we specialize in recovering data from MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, and iPhone devices affected by hardware failure, liquid spills, failed SSDs, damaged logic boards, APFS corruption, macOS startup issues, and accidental deletion.

Our engineers perform component-level diagnostics and board repair when necessary to restore access to your data rather than simply replacing parts. We regularly recover data from Apple Silicon Macs with soldered SSDs, T2 Security Chip models, and older Intel-based Macs that no longer power on. Every recovery is performed in-house using professional equipment designed for complex Apple data recovery cases.

Why Apple Data Recovery Is Different

Apple devices are built very differently from traditional Windows computers. Many modern MacBooks use soldered Apple SSDs, hardware encryption, and tightly integrated logic boards, making data recovery far more complex than simply removing the storage drive and connecting it to another computer. Features such as APFS, FileVault encryption, the Apple T2 Security Chip, and Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, and M4) provide excellent security and performance, but they also require specialized tools and experience when hardware fails.

At LapFix, we recover data from both Intel-based Macs and the latest Apple Silicon devices, including MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, Mac Pro, and older Retina MacBook models. Our engineers work with Apple SSDs, Fusion Drives, PCIe and blade SSDs, NVMe storage, and encrypted T2-based systems affected by liquid damage, logic board failure, failed SSDs, power issues, and startup problems.

Many customers contact us after their Mac becomes stuck on the Apple logo, shows a flashing folder with a question mark, repeatedly restarts, experiences kernel panics, or stops recognizing the startup disk after a macOS update. In many of these situations, the storage itself is still intact, but access to the data requires board-level diagnostics, hardware repair, or specialized recovery techniques before the files can be safely extracted.

Every Apple data recovery case begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the exact cause of the failure. Our goal is not simply to repair the computer—it’s to recover your photos, documents, business files, and other irreplaceable data using the safest recovery method possible.

I enjoyed working with Eric at LapFix. He was very accommodating to my needs. He explained what it would take to remove the hard drive, and replace it with a new hard drive. They kept me informed of their progress. Excellent customer service and very professional staff. I appreciate their work. They recovered files that we have not seen for a long time. I heartily recommend them.

My hard drive hasn’t been working in nearly two decades. I thought I would never get to see my old photos/videos of when I served in the military. Thankfully LapFix recovered all that and more. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

I had an excellent experience with LapFix and can't recommend them enough! Eric was incredibly helpful throughout the entire repair process. My MacBook had an issue with the battery connection after I accidentally damaged it while attempting a repair myself, and he took the time to diagnose and fix everything.

From start to finish, the communication was great, the turnaround time was quick, the customer service and the price was outstanding. They kept me updated along the way and made sure everything was working properly before returning my laptop.
I've been using my MacBook since getting it back, and it's running perfectly. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in the quality of their work.

Thank you again, Eric, and the entire LapFix team for getting my laptop back up and running. I'll definitely be recommending you to anyone who needs computer repairs!

I had a Lenovo business laptop worth over $2,000 with a completely damaged screen, and a Microsoft Surface with a cracked screen. I honestly thought both were beyond repair and was already considering buying new devices.
I had checked with Best Buy and a few other places, but no one was able to help. I found Lapfix by chance and decided to try one last time. They looked at both laptops, explained what could be done, and successfully repaired both.
The Lenovo screen repair cost less than $300 and was completed in less than a week. For the Microsoft Surface, they also had to work on the software and chip-related issues, and the total was still less than $800. That repair took less than two weeks.
Now both laptops are working perfectly, and I’m very happy with the service. The work was professional, honest, and technically solid. As someone with a background in IT and cybersecurity, I was genuinely impressed.
If you think your laptop cannot be fixed, I recommend checking with them first before spending money on a new one.

I came in panicked about liquid damage to my laptop and decided to trust the team at LapFix with the repair. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made. They fixed it quickly, and although I had one small issue afterward that required a return visit, they resolved it promptly and thoroughly. Throughout the process, they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend LapFix to anyone in need of computer repairs. Thank you!

Interaction was good, I took my pc for fan replacement and the waved the fee they would’ve normally charged for diagnostics. Picked up my Pc in great working condition and it is working fine so far so I recommend them! They also filled in some screws that were missing from the back board of my pc which I thought was a nice touch. Very professional environment.

Stopped by last Friday with a laptop with no sign of life that my IT dept just said to replace. Mason got back to me with by noon on Monday with a solution and it was fixed by Wednesday evening and at much lower price than buying a new one. Quick, easy and convenient. 10/10 would recommend

I had a motherboard failure on a very important business laptop with specific software on it. I brought it to a different shop and wasted hundreds of dollars and weeks of time for nothing. They said the motherboard was “fried”.

I brought it to LapFix and Eric was able to fix the motherboard and repair the BIOS so it could finally boot. I am so unbelievably grateful to Eric and the team at Lapfix for saving this important piece of hardware for my business. Thank you so much!! Eric is a wizard!

The customer service here is incredible and they were able to diagnose and fix my issue all within a week. Would highly recommend coming here for any of your computer issues. Love these guys!
LapFix gave me a quick diagnosis and repair of my out-of-warranty laptop. Their price was reasonable, and Mason answered all my questions about policy, pricing, and repair times.
Mason completed the work sooner than expected and saved me the considerable replacement cost of a laptop that had become unusable.
I would highly recommend this business. They are professional, provide quick responses to communications, and solved a problem that other repair services I consulted were unable to address.

They were able to fix the HTML port for my PS5. Completed the work in a timely fashion.
Was able to help out and transfer all of my data successfully. Very helpful
The shop was easy to reach and offered clear, upfront communication about the process. They provided a detailed estimate with a breakdown of the expected costs. I appreciated how transparent they were about the potential issues, and they even suggested a couple of options for how to move forward depending on what they found during the diagnosis. The repairs were completed faster than I expected—just a few days instead of the 7–10 business days that other shops had quoted me. Highly recommend these guys

Lapfix was great! Having my M1 MacBook Pro go out on me while I’m in the middle of planning and editing footage, mixing and mastering music was extremely stressful. Through my research of what I can possibly do to fix my MacBook I found Lapfix on YouTube. I got to see videos of Eric fixing MacBooks with the same problem mine had on the Lapfix YouTube channel. That made me realize this is way beyond my scope of what I can do. Plus I had crucial data on there that was really really important. Thankfully the process of sending my computer to their store in Alexandria, VA was easy and they kept me informed the whole entire time. They got all the data back and fixed my laptop. I would not wish anything bad on anyone’s expensive computer, but in the case something did happen—Lapfix is definitely the place that can bring it back to life.

LapFix provided accurate diagnostics and timely repairs at reasonable pricing. We did experience delays with the required part being delivered, but LapFix remained communicative and accommodating with timelines and additional information. Overall a very positive experience for what could have been a frustrating issue to solve.
Great diagnostic and communication throughout the repair

Apple Data Recovery FAQ – Common Questions

Can you recover data from APFS-formatted or encrypted Mac drives?

Yes. Our technicians can recover data from many APFS-formatted and encrypted Mac storage devices, provided the necessary encryption credentials are available. Whether the failure is caused by a logic board issue, storage hardware fault, or another hardware problem, we evaluate the device to determine the most appropriate Data Recovery solution before proceeding.

My MacBook has no power. Can you still recover my data?

Often, yes. A MacBook that won’t power on may still contain recoverable data, even if the failure is caused by the logic board, charging circuitry, or another hardware component. Our technicians diagnose the underlying fault and determine the safest Data Recovery method based on your MacBook’s model and storage architecture.

Can you recover files after I erased or formatted my Mac by accident?

It comes down to how the drive was wiped and whether anything’s overwritten the original data since. We check your Mac’s storage setup to determine recoverability — this matters especially on APFS-formatted and Apple Silicon systems, where modern encryption can affect what’s actually still retrievable.

Is Apple data recovery safe for my device and files?

Yes. We prioritize non-destructive techniques and specialized recovery hardware to protect both your Mac and your data throughout the process. Before touching anything, we evaluate your Mac’s storage architecture and the nature of the failure to determine the safest path forward.

Can you recover data from Macs with liquid damage?

Often, yes. We start by assessing how far the damage has spread across the logic board, power circuitry, and storage — then choose a recovery approach based on the actual condition of those components, not a one-size-fits-all method.

Do you work with T2 or M1/M2 security chips?

Yes. We regularly work on Intel Macs with the T2 Security Chip as well as newer Apple Silicon systems. Because these architectures tie security directly into the logic board and storage, we use recovery procedures built specifically for each platform.

Can you recover data from Macs that are stuck on the Apple logo?

Often, yes. Getting stuck at the Apple logo can point to a storage issue, macOS corruption, or a deeper hardware fault. We diagnose what’s actually causing the startup failure before recommending a recovery path.

Can you recover data from Apple Silicon Macs with failed logic boards?

Apple Silicon Macs build storage directly into the logic board, which makes recovery more involved than on older Intel models. We evaluate the logic board and storage together to find the safest recovery method for that specific failure.

Can you recover data if my Mac keeps restarting or kernel panics?

Constant restarts or kernel panics usually trace back to storage failure, macOS corruption, or an underlying hardware issue. We run a structured diagnostic to find the actual cause and determine whether your data can be safely pulled before any repair happens.

Do you recover data from Mac minis and iMacs?

Yes — we handle Mac mini, iMac, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro systems. Whatever the cause — a failed SSD, logic board fault, liquid damage, or startup failure — we evaluate the device first to determine the safest way forward.

Can you recover data from FileVault-encrypted Macs?

Yes. As long as you have the necessary credentials, we work with FileVault-encrypted Macs regularly, using recovery methods built around Apple’s security architecture to keep your data intact wherever possible.

Can You Recover Data from a Mac After a Failed macOS Update?

Yes, this is a common and recoverable situation. A failed update can leave your Mac stuck on the logo, caught in a restart loop, or unable to boot — but your files are typically still sitting on the SSD. We recover data through macOS update failures, APFS corruption, and startup disk issues. If this just happened, avoid reinstalling macOS or resetting the drive until your files are safely recovered.

Can You Recover Data from a Mac Showing a Folder with a Question Mark?

Yes, in many cases. That symbol means your Mac can’t locate a valid startup disk — the cause could be a failed SSD, file system corruption, a macOS issue, or a hardware fault. We work across Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, including MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Studio. Before reinstalling macOS or erasing the drive yourself, get it evaluated first — those steps can reduce your chances of recovery.
