Often worth repairing or upgrading rather than replacing. We repair the iMac 21.5-inch (2017 to 2019) in our own workshop near London Bridge, and agree the price with you before any work starts.

Common repairs
Screen
Cracked, black, flickering or lined screens. We fit a matching panel and test it for dead pixels, brightness and colour.
Hard drive to SSD
Swapping an old spinning hard drive for an SSD is the biggest speed-up these machines can get. We move your files across.
Overheating
Loud fans and slowdowns usually mean dust in the heatsink. We clean the cooling system and renew the thermal paste.
Power faults
If it will not switch on, the power supply or the logic board may have failed. We test both before quoting.
Motherboard
No power, no picture or random shutdowns often come down to one failed part. Board-level repair costs far less than a new board.
Data recovery
If it will not start, we can often still recover your files. We check the drive before anything else.
Good to know
Many Intel iMacs shipped with slow spinning hard drives or Fusion Drives. Replacing them with an SSD is the single biggest speed-up these machines can get.
