I have Macbook Pro 2019 A1214, and i accidentally spilled a water and caused liquid damages. I had it repair and turns out i have to replace the T2 Chip. Will my data be gone? And what about the Touch ID? Will i still be able to use Touch ID?

Not sure what this "A1214" is—one of the worst ways to define what you have.


The 2019 16" Intel MacBookPro16,1 or MacBookPro16,4

What I can say—


T2 chip repair is a a logic board replacement— yes all data will be wiped out and gone. All components are soldered to the board: SSD/GPU/T2



When it is replaced/repaired— you would hope the TouchID functions as expected...
