    Macbook pro 15 inch A1707 - 820-00281

    i have a huge issue with this one here, client upgraded to lates osx and he was using "File Vault" he got some error when upgrading, now i cannot erase the drive by using normal software, pc boots into all modes, we use the password to access the driver which was File Vaulte-ed but still cannot delete it, i suppose ssd got corrupted in some way, i tried fixing it with all the tools i found but only software, cannot partition or erase the drive, it has 256 gb onboard ssd
    Do you have any suggestions ? Should i replace the SSd ? i have a donor board with same nands ... what else can i try ? i also tried flashing it using another mac or powering up in usb mode .. nada .. niente .. nulla, zip.. zilch hard is fked up .. from my opinion ..

    One idea is to use the data migration tool but not sure if it will work here. In theory it should. From a brief chat with the seller, they noted that contents of the SSD appears just like a USB drive that you can read / write using the remote PC. He said this can perform the same even on a dead board.

      i see ... but it;s expensive gear for just one mac, i think i will just replace the nands and hope it will boot after .. donno how t2 will react to new ssd .. and this sh;t "file vault " that actually locked the ssd and now it;s so stubborn to not let itself being deleted even with the good password

        DFU mode to reflash the os not working, logging in and mounting the ssd to that specific user works but again i cannot erase / format / partition .. if i check the UDID of that user i get different UDID so .. something went wrong with the encryption .. still if i mount the partition DATA i get all files readable, i cannot format it in any way, the headers probably got corrupted and they are not answering to that specific user no more ... cant understand this so well ... the good thing is that i have a good developed tech shop that i own and probably 10 yrs skills in repairing apple products so ... i guess i will go ahead with the replacement .. see what happens

          i need to mention that i don;t need the data, it has all been backed up so .. just erasing all and make fresh install of the OS would be enough
