MacBook – Backup data from Macbook pro which won’t boot

I woke up yesterday morning to this article in my newsfeed:

When we replaced the first logic board, I had found that this is a widespread problem and people are trying to get Apple to address it.

I will update this answer with what Apple comes back with when the laptop is returned from its second trip to the faraway fix up land.

A short circuit will often damage other components, in this case, the graphics controller, possibly some power smoothing circuitry, resistors in-line with the shorted component would have most likely been damaged etc. In short, the logic board would need to be replaced, along with the connector/LCD.

It's very, very unlikely that the board would be okay after such an event.
