Common repairs
Screen
Cracked, black, flickering or lined screens. We fit a matching panel and test it for dead pixels, brightness and colour.
Battery
Drains fast, shuts down with charge left or shows a service warning? We fit a new battery and check the charging circuit.
Keyboard
Missing, sticking or dead keys and spill damage. On some models the keyboard is fixed to the top case, and we tell you before starting.
Butterfly keyboard
Sticking, repeating or skipped keys are typical of this keyboard design. Replacing the keyboard is the lasting fix.
Overheating
Loud fans and slowdowns usually mean dust in the heatsink. We clean the cooling system and renew the thermal paste.
Charging
Not charging, or only at an angle? We test the charger, the USB-C or MagSafe port and the power circuit to find the fault.
Graphics faults
Lines, coloured blocks or a black screen with sound can point to the graphics chip or its power circuit. We repair at board level.
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.
Good to know
The larger Intel MacBook Pros run hot under load, so fan cleaning and fresh thermal paste make a real difference. Some models with dedicated graphics are known for graphics chip faults that show up as lines or no display.
