Apple out-of-warranty Mac repair specialist in Bournemouth
Experienced In-House Technicians
Our team of Apple Mac repair technicians brings years of hands-on experience with almost every Mac model out there. As Mac users ourselves, we know that Macs are some of the best-built and most precisely engineered devices around, which means they need a special kind of care and attention—not just anyone can properly repair MacBooks.
Over the years, we’ve seen countless repair attempts gone wrong and bodged fixes by other shops. That’s why we don’t focus on being the cheapest option. Instead, we’re all about offering great value by delivering reliable and precise repairs with excellent quality.
Precision Repairs and Specialised Tools
We go further than most repair shops. Our approach focuses on component-level repairs using micro-soldering under a microscope, with schematics, diagrams, and boardviews to breathe new life into your hardware. It’s a meticulous process, but it often saves our customers money compared to more extensive replacements.
We’ve earned the trust of customers across the UK, from London to Glasgow, and even other repair shops rely on us to fix the trickiest problems. Our shop is equipped with tools you simply won’t find at Apple Stores—like microscopes, thermal imaging cameras, ultrasonic cleaners with special detergents, and a state-of-the-art laminar flow hood for screen repairs. Everything we use, from our materials to our tools, is chosen with one goal: to make sure your Mac gets the best care possible.
We’ve Seen (and Fixed) It All
From 20-year-old Macs to the latest Apple Silicon models fresh off the shelves, we’ve tackled it all. No matter if it’s liquid damage, a cracked screen, or even Macs that have been run over by cars, we’ve brought them back to life and recovered critical data. When you bring your Mac to us, you can feel confident you’re in good hands.
Logic Board Repair
We are able to repair your existing logic board, for a reasonable cost, whilst preserving your data.
Data Recovery
Apple Macs have their storage soldered to the logic board – we are able to repair >85% of logic boards & recover your data.
Liquid Damage Repair
A full service, including ultrasonic cleaning, logic board repair and examination under a microscope to bring your Mac back to life.
Our Repair Process
1 - Bring in your device, anytime
You will be quoted exactly the same as on our website - a fixed labour fee. There is no need for us to see your device to quote you, we just need a simple description of the fault.
2 - Receive a call/email update
We will assess your device, and call/email you with an update - or to say your device is repaired. Depending on complexity and if parts are required, this can be 1-5 working days.
3 - Collect your repaired device
Once any parts have been authorised and your device is repaired, you can collect your computer/laptop. We accept card, cash or bank transfer - you can even pay online before collection.

Under the microscope... see what we see!
Alongside are some photos of our latest jobs - all of which were successfully repaired.
Possessing tools like a microscope and thermal camera allow us to conduct repairs to a standard that many shops are not able to, and in the case of Apple Macs - allows us to repair your existing logic board, saving you hundreds of pounds as well as your precious data.
This PS5 was brought in as there was no display on the TV. Come to find out that it was liquid damaged, and a component in the power supply had blown up!
Fortunately, we offer motherboard repair and can even repair power supplies, so this one will be back to the customer in full working order in no time

This PS5 came in for no power. We injected voltage onto the main power line, and then using our thermal camera, found a capacitor glowing - indicating a short circuit. If a shop does not have such specialist tools, they may very well tell you your console is unrepairable - when it really isn`t! #ps5 #boardrepair

Overheating in the PS5 is a common issue caused by a design flaw where the liquid metal used for cooling can shift due to gravity. To properly resolve this, we don’t just replace the liquid metal—we also polish the APU with a specialised compound, ensuring a clean surface for optimal heat transfer before applying the new liquid metal. #ps5 #liquidmetal

This gaming MSI laptop came in with display issues. Unfortunately, MSI are quite poorly built and in this case it was a graphics card failure that was causing the problem. Although the GPU cannot be replaced, we managed to remove the drivers and prevent them from being installed again allowing the customer to use their laptop as normal.

This Mac wasn`t booting to macOS. The WiFi/Bluetooth chipset had failed. Rather than replace the entire chip, we carefully removed the top of the chip by drilling away at the material. (See picture 2 with the image transposed)
We managed to see inside the chip and find the exact capacitor that failed - measuring under 1mm! Again, we used a ultra fine drill to remove it, removing the short.
To our knowledge this process has never been attempted before by any other store.
Better tools, better technicians, better repairs, at bits.

This is the second time we have now had a customer bring in an iMac repaired by the same competitor - they used hot glue instead of the proper adhesive around the display, and they used an off-brand SSD that failed in less than a year. All the vents are also clogged with dust and weren`t cleaned.
It is unacceptable to fit such low-quality parts for customers who could then lose their data as a result, and use hot glue on such a precisely designed machine.

This Mac was brought in for liquid damage repair. First things first, lets blow out the decades worth of dust clogging up those fans, and replace the thermal paste.

We repaired a PS5 Slim today for a replacement HDMI port. The connector was really badly damaged - nevertheless, we managed to replace it and get this console back up and running. #ps5 #ps5slim

Another shop fixed this iMac before and used hot glue/silicone to reattach the screen, not genuine Apple adhesive strips!
When picking a shop to repair your Apple product, make sure they specialise in Apple repairs so they don’t do a bodge job like this! The official adhesive is specially designed and cut, so that it holds the display securely, whilst allowing the iMac to be opened again for service.

Another MacBook Air M2 screen is successfully repaired. This one suffered from liquid damage, so we replaced the backlight sheets and LCD, and it now looks as good as new. #MacBookRepair #RightToRepair #MacScreenRepair #Bournemouth

This USB C port was completely ripped off when the laptop was dropped while charging. The customer thought it was a write-off and time to get another one. After rebuilding the tracks on the motherboard, and soldering on a new port, its as good as new and lives to see another day. #soldering #righttorepair

This PS5 came in due to randomly turning off. Like many we have seen, in some cases, standing up the console causes the liquid metal to drip down over time, and cause air gaps between the processor and heatsink. Another easy fix for the bits team. #repair #bournemouth

This Mac was liquid damage and used for a year after, causing severe corrosion and liquid damage. After a specialist ultrasonic clean, it looks like new.
Now, it is under the microscope for a component-level repair. #righttorepair #waterdamage #MacBookRepair

This PS5 came in for a flickering screen. On this occasion, the HDMI port was OK, but the motherboard was damaged, and the tracks to the port were all ripped off.
Thanks to our #Amscope #microscope we are able to repair these fine tracks that are under 1mm in width each!
