MacBook Repair
We can perform upgrades and maintenance on your MacBook to ensure it’s ongoing reliability and performance using only genuine Apple parts.
Software repairs and updates
Many problems with MacBooks are caused by corrupted software and files. This corruption can have many causes, but recovering your laptop back to full working order can be challenging.
At 1st Aid Repairs, we have a variety of tools that allow us to reach locked and damaged files. We also have operating system repair tools that can restore broken functionality.
Often software updates won’t apply properly, and we can help ensure that they are loaded successfully.
MacBook Screen Replacements
Screens are quite fragile and can be damaged through seemingly minor accidents. Screens can also fail over time due to brightness and dead pixels.
We can replace most MacBook screens and restore bright and full functionality. Only genuine Apple parts are used.
Hard Drive Replacements
If you’re running out of disk space or are looking to increase the performance of your MacBook. Consider replacing and upgrading the hard disk drive.
Older laptops can be given a new lease of life by converting from an older, spinning disk hard drive to a new, ultra-fast SSD. Every time you start your computer, open an app or load a file, data is loaded from the hard drive. A new SSD ensures that they load as fast as possible. Solid State Disk drives are also more reliable in a laptop, as they have no moving parts.
We can replace your hard drive and transfer over all existing data and settings. Ensuring you get a fast, easy upgrade.
MacBook Keyboard Replacements
Drink spills, crumbs and dust can all cause failures and sticky keys within keyboards. Sometimes they just wear out.
But the keyboard is not intrinsic to your laptop, we can clean or replace your keyboard and make sure that sticky keys are a thing of the past.
Socket and Circuit Repairs
Failing USB sockets, HDMI and power ports are a common problem on any well-used laptop. Usually, these ports are directly attached to the main circuit board, requiring a complete replacement. However, our modern cleanroom facility, air-flowing solder systems and experienced technicians allow us to identify faults at a component level. It is often possible for us to repair sockets and individual components, rather than having to go to the cost of replacing a whole circuit board.
MacBook Battery Replacement
If your battery is past it’s best. It no longer holds a charge for very long, or it won’t charge at all. We can provide a competitively priced and warranted replacement battery to restore your laptop back to its best.
To view your battery’s condition: Press and hold the Option key and click the battery icon in the menu bar. If you see any of the following conditions, contact us for a replacement quote: Replace Soon, Replace No or Service Battery.
Power Supply Replacement
Without a power supply, your laptop isn’t any use. However, they are often damaged from tripping and stretched cables. Components within the power supply can sometimes fail, causing slow charging or creating a lot of noise.
We can supply replacement power supplies, and may be able to repair your existing power supply.
All mains powered equipment that we repair is PAT tested as part of the service before it is returned to you.
Insurance Quotes and Repairs
We do offer Estimates suitable for Insurance purposes. We would require the laptop for inspection and confirmation of the damage.
Inspection reports are chargeable, which would be deducted from the final repair cost should the repair be completed. The inspection fee must be paid before the inspection and covers the return carriage to you if the estimate is declined.
During the inspection, the Technician will inspect the laptop and report his findings. We will then email a PDF copy of the inspection report to you, which is suitable for insurance purposes.
