What we repair

Every common MacBook failure, fixed in-house

Nothing is sent out to a third party. Our technicians diagnose and repair on site, which keeps turnaround short and your data private.

Screen & Display Replacement

Cracked glass, dead pixels, backlight failure, flickering. Retina and Liquid Retina panels for every generation.

Battery Replacement

Short battery life, swelling, or a “Service Recommended” warning. Genuine-spec cells, calibrated before pickup.

Sticky keys, dead keys, a trackpad that will not click. Top case and trackpad replacement for butterfly and Magic keyboards.

Liquid Damage Repair

Coffee, water, or sea spray. We clean the board under the microscope, replace corroded components, and save your data.

Don’t see your issue? Call us. If it’s a MacBook, we have almost certainly fixed it before.

Not sure what’s wrong? Bring it in or mail it in. Free diagnostic, quote before any work starts.

What’s wrong with it?

Pick the symptom. We’ll tell you what’s likely going on.

Dead MacBook? It’s usually one of three things.

A MacBook that will not turn on or charge almost always traces back to the logic board, the battery, or a part connected to one of them. Instead of swapping parts until something works, we test each rail on the board under the microscope and repair the actual fault.

Most no-power repairs are board-level, which costs far less than a logic board replacement and keeps every file on your drive.

Won't power on or charge

Startup chime, but a dark or faint display?

If you hear the chime and see a faint image, the backlight circuit has failed. This is common after a small liquid spill. The panel itself is usually fine, so the fix is a backlight repair on the board, not a new display.

We confirm the cause with a free diagnostic before quoting, so you never pay for a screen you did not need.

Dim screen or no image

Spilled on it? Don’t power it on.

Liquid keeps corroding the board every hour the battery stays connected. Bring it in or mail it in as soon as you can. We disconnect power, ultrasonic-clean the board, replace corroded components, and test every function before it goes back to you.

Water damage diagnosis is free, and data recovery is part of the plan from the first minute.

Liquid damage

Draining fast, swelling, or shutting off early?

Lithium batteries wear out. Short runtime, random shutdowns, or a trackpad that feels raised are all signs. We replace batteries on every MacBook model and calibrate before pickup.

A swollen battery is a safety issue. If the bottom case or trackpad is bulging, stop using the laptop and bring it in.

MacBook repair FAQ

Questions we hear every day

How much does a MacBook repair cost?
Every repair is quoted after a free diagnostic, because the same symptom can have several causes. You get the price before any work starts, and we match any lower quote for the same repair.
How long does a MacBook repair take?
Batteries, screens and keyboards are often same-day or next-day when parts are in stock. Liquid damage and logic board repairs take longer, typically from 24 hours up to a few weeks depending on the damage.
Will I lose my data?
Our goal on every repair is to keep your data exactly where it is. Board-level repair, rather than board replacement, is how we do that. We still recommend a backup before any service when the machine will power on.
My MacBook got wet. Should I let it dry out first?
No. Do not charge it or turn it on. Corrosion spreads while the battery is connected. Bring it in or ship it as soon as possible. The water damage diagnosis is free.
Do you need my password?
Yes, for testing. Without it we cannot verify the camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and other functions after the repair. Your data is handled in-house and kept confidential.
Is the repair covered by a warranty?
Yes. Replacement parts carry a lifetime warranty. MacBook logic board repairs, including water damage repairs, and battery replacements carry a 1-year warranty. Full terms are on our Warranty page.
