Wine damaged MacBook air

    Hi, I have an 11 inch mackbook air. I'm told that the logic board and screen have blown due to liquid damage, but the hard disc works. I'm also told that I can connect the macbook to a screen and keyboard to retrieve the data.

    I have a mid 2009 (non thunderbolt) Macbook pro. I also have a mac bluetooth keyboard and access to a VGA screen. Is there another way to retrieve the data?

    I would like to retrieve the macbook air data to the macbook pro.

    Can anyone advise if this is possible and what cables do I need?

    See attached damaged macbook photos?

    With the logic board gone, probably your only way around it is to take out the HD and put it into a caddy to transfer the files over.

    Are you sure the motherboard has blown? You cant turn it on if it is so the bluetooth keyboard and VGA screen are useless!

    the hard drive in a macbook air is not you standard ssd drive so putting it into a caddy would not be an option

    Strange, considering the original 128GB from my MBA is in a USB 3 caddy?

    Not so strange, the caddy was supplied by the maker of the aftermarket SSD.
