Models we repair

MacBook models we repair

Can't see yours, or not sure which you have? Book anyway and we'll identify it at diagnosis.

Give us your model when you book and we'll confirm what we can repair.

What we fix on a MacBook

Each of these is diagnosed free at our workshop, and then we confirm the repair and its price.

  • Screen and display assembly

    Cracked glass, a vertical line, a backlight that only shows at certain lid angles, or the uneven glow along the bottom edge known as stage light.

  • Battery replacement

    A Service Recommended warning, a Mac that only runs plugged in, or a swollen battery pushing up the trackpad so the case no longer sits flat.

  • Keyboard and trackpad

    Keys that repeat, stick or do nothing, a familiar fault on 2016 to 2019 butterfly keyboards, and trackpads that click unevenly or not at all.

  • Charging and ports

    A MagSafe or USB-C port that charges only while you hold the cable, no charging light, or a port that no longer passes data or video.

  • Overheating and fan noise

    Fans roaring on light work, a hot case, or a Mac that slows down under load. Usually dust packed into the fan and heatsink, sometimes old thermal paste.

  • Liquid damage diagnosis

    Don't charge it or switch it on. We open it, check the board for corrosion and tell you what can be recovered before we quote.

  • Logic board diagnosis

    No power at all, a black screen with the fans running, or shutdowns under load. The diagnosis is free and tells you whether a board repair makes sense.

  • Data recovery from a dead MacBook

    On Intel MacBooks the drive can often be read on its own. On Apple Silicon and T2 models the storage is soldered to the board, so recovery depends on the board surviving.

Why your exact MacBook model matters

MacBook covers a lot of different machines. A 2015 13-inch Air, a 2019 16-inch Pro and an M-series Air share a name and very few parts. Displays, batteries, keyboards and ports change from one generation to the next, and so do the price and the repair time.

The identifier is on the Mac itself: open Apple menu › About This Mac, or read the small print on the underside, where the model number starts with an A. Give us that number when you book and you are quoted for your machine rather than a range.

Apple Silicon, the T2 chip and your data

On every Apple Silicon MacBook, and on Intel models with a T2 security chip, the storage is soldered to the logic board and encrypted to it. That matters before you book for two reasons. Your data can't be rescued by moving a drive to another machine, so if the board has died, recovery becomes board-level work with no certain outcome. And some parts, Touch ID among them, are paired to the board, so a repair that was a straight swap on an older Mac may not be one now.

We tell you which of these applies to your Mac at diagnosis. If a repair can't be done properly on your model, we say so rather than attempt it.

Butterfly keyboards and swollen batteries

Two faults make up a large share of the MacBooks we see. Butterfly keyboards, fitted from 2016 to 2019, fail in a familiar pattern: a key repeats, sticks or stops working, usually once dust gets under the mechanism. On those models the keyboard is riveted into the top case, so the proper fix replaces the whole assembly rather than a single key.

The second is a swollen battery. If the trackpad clicks strangely, the Mac rocks on a desk or the lid won't close flush, stop using it and unplug it. A swollen lithium battery is a fire and injury risk, not a cosmetic issue. Drop it in or book a collection and we handle it with the care it needs.

Dust, heat and Dubai

We see more fan and overheating complaints than the design alone would explain. Fine dust is drawn in, packs against the heatsink fins, and the Mac slows itself down to stay cool. Owners describe a slow Mac; the cause is mechanical. A thorough clean and fresh thermal paste often bring performance back, and that is worth trying before anyone mentions a board repair or a new laptop.

Back it up first, if it still turns on

Most MacBook repairs, including screens, batteries, keyboards and ports, leave your data alone. Even so, take a Time Machine or iCloud backup first if you can, because no repair is risk-free and a recent backup costs you nothing.

If it won't turn on, don't let that stop you. Mention it when you book, and protecting what is on the drive becomes part of the diagnosis rather than a problem you have to solve first.

Warranty and repair time

Each repair has its own warranty, shown before you confirm the booking, or given with the quote when a repair is priced after diagnosis.

Every repair is carried out at our own workshop at Deira, Dubai, UAE, by Repairing.ae.

What the warranty covers, and how to make a claim: warranty policy.
