The whole situation is awful. Maybe I'll get incredibly lucky and a miracle will happen and it will work but I doubt that. I wish I had Taylor's cash flow and this wouldn't even be an issue. |
Even if the macbook can't be repaired, there is a good chance that the hard drive is still working and you can tell the repair shop to take out the hard drive and put it in an external USB enclosure.
Then you should be able to access the files and recover them, when you get another macbook. It depends what year and model your macbook is. If it's a macbook air or one of the latest macbook pro retina models, it might need a special enclosure for the SSD and might be more difficult, but unless you are very unlucky, the disk should be o.k. and you probably haven't lost all of your files.
