Our Repair Process

Under the microscope... see what we see!

Our laminar flow hood filters the surrounding air to such a degree that it can be used for forensic DNA analysis! This allows us to refurbish MacBook screens to the highest standard, without letting in dust from ambient surroundings. #macbookrepair

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.

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 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!

Using our specialist thermal imaging camera, we can search for short circuits invisible to the naked eye.
In this case, the customer lost their data due to a design flaw on the A1990 MacBook Pro, which electrocuted the SSD storage chips 😢 #MacBookRepair

This is by far the worst MacBook we`ve ever seen - poor thing! It was run over by a car and left outdoors in severe rain after the customer lost it.
Challenge accepted.

This customer was quoted £700+ for a logic board replacement at Apple due to water damage. With us, they paid £199.
Whats more, we saved hundreds of precious photos that weren`t backed up, which they would`ve lost with Apple.
