Model-specific screen and charging work
Intel and Apple silicon MacBooks use different parts and repair procedures. Share the model year or A-number, charger type, and whether an external display works if you already tested one. A dark screen does not automatically mean the computer has no power. Battery, charging connector, display, and logic-board faults need separate checks.
Liquid exposure and important files
After liquid exposure, stop charging and ask about inspection. Tell us if a prior repair or battery replacement caused the problem. If your files are the priority, say so before authorizing any reset or replacement. Soldered storage and encryption can limit recovery; recovery is never guaranteed. Do not send passwords or recovery keys by text.
Estimate, timing, and warranty
We explain the proposed work and estimate after evaluation. Parts, board condition, and the repair queue affect timing; call for availability before making a longer trip. Our standard 90-day repair warranty applies under the published terms.
Frequently asked questions
What should I send for an estimate?
Send the model, symptoms, and any damage or previous repair history. Do not include account passwords. Inspection may be needed before a firm quote.
