Signs your Apple MacBook Pro 16" M2 Pro/Max A2780 needs this repair
- Flashing folder with a question mark at startup
- Mac stuck on the Apple logo or progress bar
- "Your disk could not be read" or storage errors
- Mac restarts with a message about a problem
- Storage much smaller or slower than it should be
- Files missing or won't open
How we fix it
Many startup faults turn out to be software, a failed update or a damaged system volume, and we can fix those without touching the hardware. We check this first.
Where the storage chips or their power circuit have failed, we repair the Apple MacBook Pro 16" M2 Pro/Max A2780's logic board at component level. Because the storage is part of the board, this is also how we recover your files when the Mac won't start.
How long it takes
We diagnose storage faults the same day in most cases and give you a price and timescale before any repair.
Good to know: Back up with Time Machine or iCloud. On Apple silicon and most recent Macs, your files live on the logic board, so a backup is your best protection.
Questions
Can you upgrade the storage on my Apple MacBook Pro 16" M2 Pro/Max A2780?
On most recent Macs the storage is soldered to the logic board, so it can't be swapped like a normal SSD. We'll tell you what's possible for your model.
Can you get my files off a Mac that won't start?
Often, yes. We repair the board or recover the data through it. See our data recovery service for more.
