How we diagnose Mac problems

Mac diagnostics require specialist knowledge and tools. Here's how we approach it:

  • Apple Diagnostics and third-party tools to check hardware
  • Visual inspection for liquid damage indicators
  • Power circuit testing for charging and battery issues
  • Display and GPU testing for screen problems
  • Storage health checks including SMART data
  • macOS integrity verification and recovery options

We explain everything in plain English and give you options before starting any work.

Common Mac repairs we perform

These are the Mac repairs we handle most frequently:

Screen replacements

Retina displays for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and iMac. We handle the delicate process carefully to avoid damage.

Battery replacements

Swollen or depleted batteries in MacBooks. We use quality cells and calibrate properly after installation.

Keyboard repairs

Including the notorious butterfly keyboards. We can replace individual keys or entire top cases.

Logic board repairs

Component-level repairs for power issues, no display, and other board-level faults.

SSD upgrades

Upgrade older Macs with fast NVMe storage for dramatically improved performance.

Apple Silicon Mac repairs

Apple Silicon Macs (M1 onwards) present unique repair challenges:

  • Integrated memory means RAM cannot be upgraded after purchase
  • Storage is soldered on most models, making SSD upgrades impossible
  • Software-based repairs and macOS reinstallation remain possible
  • Screen and external component repairs work normally
  • Data recovery requires specialist techniques for Apple Silicon

We're upfront about what's repairable on newer Macs and can advise on your options.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you repair all Mac models?
Yes — MacBook Air, MacBook Pro (Intel and Apple Silicon), iMac, Mac mini and Mac Studio, from models dating back to around 2010 through to the current M-series machines. Desktops and laptops need different handling, and our guide to how iMac and MacBook repairs differ explains what changes between them.
Should I go to Apple or an independent repairer?
If your Mac is under warranty or covered by AppleCare+, talk to Apple first — third-party repair can affect that cover. Out of warranty, an independent workshop is usually faster and often cheaper, and we can keep repairing ‘vintage’ and ‘obsolete’ machines Apple no longer services. If your particular fault is one Apple handles better, we’ll say so before you spend anything.
Will my files be safe during the repair?
Most repairs — screens, batteries, keyboards, charging ports — don’t touch your data at all. Where a repair does carry storage risk, such as logic board or liquid-damage work, we tell you first and can take a backup before starting where the machine allows it. If your Mac already won’t boot, our data recovery service can usually retrieve your files before repair work begins.
How much does MacBook screen replacement cost?
It depends on the model. Older MacBook Air screens start around £150, while Retina displays for newer MacBook Pros typically range from £250–£450. You’ll get an exact quote for your specific model before we order anything. See what to expect from a Retina display replacement or our screen replacement service for more detail.
How much does MacBook battery replacement cost?
Battery replacement typically ranges from £80 to £200 depending on the model — most MacBook Air batteries fall in the £100–£150 range, with larger MacBook Pro batteries at the upper end. You get an exact quote for your model before we order anything, and the service usually adds several years to a Mac that’s otherwise in good condition. Our guide on whether a battery replacement is worth it helps you decide.
My MacBook won't turn on — can you fix it?
Usually, yes. No-power faults range from a failed charger or battery through to board-level problems, and diagnosis differs between Intel and Apple Silicon machines — our MacBook won’t turn on guide covers what to check first. Faults on the board itself are handled by our logic board repair service.
Is my Mac worth repairing, or should I replace it?
Our rule of thumb: if the repair costs well under half the price of an equivalent replacement and the Mac still meets your needs, repair usually wins — a battery swap alone can add years to a MacBook, as our guide on when a battery replacement is worth it explains. We’ll give you a straight answer with the quote, including when we think replacement is the smarter spend. How quoting works is on our pricing page.
Can you recover data from a dead Mac?
In most cases, yes. Even when a Mac won’t boot we can often retrieve files using specialist tools — including from Fusion Drives and T2-era storage. One Putney customer’s MacBook Pro A1708 came in for a motherboard repair with full data recovery — files first, then the repair. See our data recovery service for how assessment works.
Can you fix a Mac that Apple says is 'vintage' or 'obsolete'?
Absolutely. We specialise in keeping older Macs running. While Apple may no longer support them, we can often source parts and perform repairs that extend the life of your Mac significantly.
What can't be repaired on Apple Silicon Macs?
On M-series Macs the memory is part of the chip and, on most models, the storage is soldered to the board — so RAM and SSD upgrades aren’t possible after purchase. Screens, batteries, keyboards, trackpads, ports and many board-level faults remain fully repairable. We’re upfront about what’s economic on newer machines before you commit to anything.
Do you use genuine Apple parts?
We use genuine Apple parts where available and appropriate. For some repairs, high-quality OEM parts offer the same performance at a lower cost. We’ll always discuss your options and preferences.
How long does a typical Mac repair take?
From our workshop records, the current median turnaround across all repairs is 3 days from booked in to ready. Simple software fixes can be quicker; screen and logic board work depends on parts availability. We confirm a realistic timeframe once we’ve diagnosed the Mac.
What MacBook faults do you repair most often?
We’ve logged over 3,400 Mac laptop repairs since 2009. The most common faults in our records: MacBooks that won’t power on, liquid damage — our second most common Mac fault, with over 390 cases — failing drives and storage, worn batteries, and cracked screens.
