Hi, I accidentally dropped coffee on my old 2014 Mac Book Pro's keyboard, needless to say I can't use it anymore. I have a lot of valuable data on that SSD and I'd like to remove it and use it in a SSD enclosure. However I don't have any of the tools needed to open up the computer. I'm wondering if I can take it to the Apple store and have it done by them? If anyone knows if I can it'd be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, 2014
I have linked to the enclosure you need. All you need to do is remove the SSD from your Mac and pop it into the enclosure, then plug it into another Mac. I have also linked to a set of tools you need to perform this repair.
Before you buy, make sure the model you have is in the list. If it isn't your SSD might not fit. I have linked to a site where you can type in your serial number to make sure.

They haven't been very forthcoming with getting data off of the proprietary SSDs. However, you should probably be able to place it in one of the enclosures from Transcend or OWC where you can access it just like an external drive.
I'm also hesitant to post any information on how to do it. You can look it up on iFixit or OWC. However, when I've direct linked repair guides, the links have been removed. Theoretically messing around with the SSD on a Retina MBP is "unauthorized" even if the machine is otherwise dead.
