MacBook Logic Board Repair in Sydney's Hills District

TL;DR

From $249. We fix the failed part on the board. We don't swap the whole board.
Real jobs: a dead MacBook Pro 13" M1 fixed for $490, and dead USB-C ports on a MacBook Pro 16" fixed for $580. Much lower than a new board from Apple.
On 2018+ and M1-and-newer Macs, a new board erases your files. A repair keeps them.
We fix Macs that won't turn on, won't charge, have dead ports or no picture.
Most jobs take 2 to 7 days.

Questions people ask

How much does it cost to repair a MacBook logic board?

From $249 at our workshop. Real jobs: $490 for a dead MacBook Pro 13" M1 and $580 for dead USB-C ports on a MacBook Pro 16" 2019. That is much lower than a new board from Apple.

Can a MacBook logic board be repaired?

Often, yes. Most dead boards have one or a few failed parts, like a power chip or a port controller. We find the failed part and replace it.

Will I lose my files?

Not with a repair. With a new board, yes, on 2018+ and M1-and-newer Macs, because the storage is locked to the original board.

Is it worth repairing an old MacBook's board?

We tell you after we test it. If the repair costs more than the Mac is worth, we say so, and we can still try to save your files.

How long does a logic board repair take?

Usually 2 to 7 days, depending on the fault and parts.
