General Service

If your Mac is running hot, intermittently switches off, and has video error.  You may need a hardware service.

With the increased capability and power of today’s MacBook’s, they produce a lot more heat, to disperse the additional heat fans are added to keep the system at a normal operating temperature.

The additional cooling fans do a great job of fresh circulation air through the system. Unfortunately, they also draw in a lot of dust. Dust build-up will block vents, fans, cooling systems/heat sink/s.

Once the airflow gets restricted a MacBook can display all sort of strange errors.

If a blockage is left the system will experience issues;

* Fans constantly running, or constantly ramping up.

* Extreme heat from vents,

* Intermittent video errors,

* Thermal Shutdown, If the laptop gets too hot it will shut itself down to protect itself

* Intermittently not starting,

* The dreaded Kernel Panic error screen,

And eventually hardware failure!!!

 

Here is what a hardware service consists of;

Dust – the Macbook needs to be disassembled and any dust needs to be vacuumed out rather than blown out. If the laptop is blown out the dust can embed itself in the numerous small ports, sockets and mechanism which can contribute to ongoing issues.

The cooling system – The processor, video cards and heat sinks will be cleaned, and new thermal paste applied to ensure that the heat is transferred into the cooling system.

Alignment – this is a crucial part, upon reassembly the unit cannot just be screwed together, due to the number of small mainboards, sockets, ribbon cables and ports.

The machine needs to have even pressure applied to all screws to allow correct alignment of all components of the laptop, only then can each component be tested on its own.

Software Repair

We can assist with all your Mac software repairs and if you’re having trouble with your MacBook not booting, upgrading or running slow, we can help.

Over time your MacBook can get cluttered with apps and software, if they are set to start when you turn the MacBook on, it could drastically affect the performance of your machine. It is also not uncommon for malware/viruses to attack the machine.

We can help in optimising your machine or are happy to back up all your data and perform a full reset for your iOS, installing the latest and correct version is also crucial to the performance of your MacBook.

Mac Water Damage Repair

We provide repairs for water damage on all MacBook Pro and Macbook Air. Numerous factors can come into play such as, the type of liquid whether it is orange juice or tap water the former being worse as it is acidic, the amount of liquid spilt and the location of the spill.

Saying that we have fixed many different types of liquid damage.

IF YOU KNOW YOUR MACBOOK HAS LIQUID DAMAGE – There is no point taking it to Apple as it will be rejected, they will check the liquid indicators and there are numerous all over the internals of your MacBook, if they have been triggered it will be immediately rejected.

With liquid damage, you need to act FAST, DO NOT try and turn it on, DO NOT try and charge it,

Corrosion starts immediately.

Once we receive the unit, it is immediately disassembled, and the battery is removed to slow the corrosion process. We then remove any moisture and impurities from your MacBook. Next is a full hardware service (click here to learn more about MacBook Hardware service)

The unit will now be fully reassembled and tested to identify any issues; in some instances, this is all that is required to repair the machine.

If the MacBook has further issues, we look at replacing the affected components ie; WIFI cards, RAM, etc.  If we have issues with a surface mount component, this is a glued component on the mainboard that cannot be replaced) we will move forward to perform a heat treatment on the affected part/component.

Heat Treatment – involves your MacBook mainboard or not functioning component being strapped into a jig which heats the components to a temperature where the solder softens, we then apply fluxes which allows the component to reseat itself to the mainboard. The MacBook is than reassembled and tested.

Hard Drive

If your finding that your MacBook is running slow or you do not have enough storage, we can assist.

We provide an upgrade for all Apple MacBook’s. Upgrading your MacBook Hard drive to an SSD (Solid State Disk) will significantly increase the working speed to your MacBook. Your MacBook will start in a significantly shorter time and perform all tasks faster.

The type of MacBook you have will determine the type of SSD hard disc that is required for the upgrade. Some MacBook’s use an older style architecture, which is a 2.5” hard disc which can be a fairly easy upgrade.

The MacBook Air’s being a smaller size utilises a different style of Solid State Hard Disc. These are generally more expensive, and you need to ensure that you get the correct drive for your model number, the year is also important.  Below is a photo of the different types:

 

Ram upgrade

If your MacBook is running slow, we can assist in upgrading the memory to make it run faster. The important part of each upgrade is to ensure you have the correct speed of ram for your MacBook, so it’s not the amount of RAM, 4Gb or 8GB it’s the speed of the ram.

The correct “speed” is identified by the model of the machine and is measured in MHz which could be 1867mhz or 2666mhz.

The speed of the Ram is determined by the motherboard.

The other consideration when upgrading Ram in your MacBook is the number of slots that you have available. If you would like to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB and your original 8Gb consist of 2 x 4Gb Ram modules, you will need to purchase 2 x 8GB ram modules.
