You can only wipe the drive if the computer will boot, not something a lot of devices that need repair are happy to do.

- abakker 5y agoHonestly, I've not had this particular issue in about 10 years, but you're right. If it is dead enough it won't boot, then I guess wiping it would be tough. For me, the combo of Target disk mode, recovery partition, or external boot drive have always gotten the job done. But yeah, if the logic board is really dead and not just "failing" then I might be tempted to use a drill.
