Common questions

How much does a MacBook screen replacement cost?

It depends on the model. The lowest current price is listed above. Pick your MacBook in the booking flow to see the current price for your model. If your model has no screen price online, send a request and we quote it. The final price is confirmed at drop-off.

I spilled liquid on my MacBook. What should I do?

Turn it off, unplug the charger, and do not charge it or turn it on to check. Book the earliest slot you can. Liquid damage is a race against corrosion. We clean the board and get your data first, then talk about the repair.

Apple quoted a very high price, or said the logic board must be replaced. Can you fix it?

Often, yes. We are an independent repair shop, and we repair logic boards at component level instead of replacing the whole board. The diagnostic finds the failed part, and you get the repair price before any repair work starts. If the board cannot be repaired, we tell you.

My battery says Service Recommended. Do I need a new battery?

Service Recommended means the battery holds much less charge than when it was new, or it is not working normally. A replacement battery is the fix. If the trackpad or the bottom case bulges, the battery is swollen: stop charging the MacBook and book the earliest slot.

Is my data safe during a repair?

A screen, battery, keyboard, or charging port repair does not touch your storage. Back up first if the MacBook turns on, because no repair process can guarantee against data loss. If it will not turn on and you need the files, tell us: we get the data first. Our data recovery page explains that process.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes. We are by appointment only, on the second floor at 2505 Channing Way, Suite 6, Berkeley. Book online or call ahead.
