Repair MacBook

MacBook Repair Service

If your MacBook won’t power on, won’t charge, has been exposed to liquid, has a broken screen, a failing battery or is running too slowly, we diagnose the fault technically before replacing entire components.

Diagnosis before replacement

We repair your MacBook by finding the real cause of the fault

A MacBook that won’t boot, won’t charge, shuts down on its own, displays lines on the screen or has suffered liquid damage does not always require a complete logic-board replacement or a new machine. At Daniel Gontán we check the root cause to assess a viable, sensible repair.

If you know the model, you can go straight to the page to repair MacBook Pro or repair MacBook Air. If the problem affects another device, you can also check the general service for repair Mac.

Technical diagnosis

We inspect the device before recommending a repair. We don't replace the battery, screen, keyboard or logic board without verifying the real cause of the fault.

Electronic repair

We handle logic-board faults, charging and power issues, battery, screen, keyboard, trackpad, liquid damage and power-on errors.

Solutions with sound judgement

If a repair is worthwhile, we'll do it. If the cost doesn't make sense compared to the value of the machine, we'll tell you before you spend any money.

MacBook family

We repair MacBook Pro and MacBook Air

Each Apple laptop has common faults. The MacBook Pro is typically used for heavy workloads, editing or professional environments; the MacBook Air is known for mobility, battery life and everyday use. In both cases, a correct diagnosis prevents unnecessary part replacements.

Common faults

Which MacBook faults we repair

The same symptom can have different causes. A MacBook that won't charge may be due to the battery, the charger, the port, the charging circuit or the logic board. That's why we inspect before intervening.

Powering on

MacBook that won't power on

We check power supply, logic board, battery, charging, storage, screen and possible internal short circuits.

Charging

Won't charge or doesn't recognise the charger

We diagnose USB-C or MagSafe ports, battery, charger, charging circuits, logic board and intermittent faults.

Screen

Broken, black or lined screen

We inspect impacts, lines, spots, flickering, lack of image, flex cables, backlight and panel.

Battery

Depleted or swollen battery

We assess cycle count, battery life, swelling, unexpected shutdowns, performance and any associated damage.

Logic board

MacBook logic-board repair

We work on electronic faults, liquid damage, power supply issues, short circuits and machines that won't boot.

Data

Important data inside the MacBook

If the device won't boot and you need important files, we first assess data Mac data recovery before intervening.

Distinctive expertise

Apple logic-board repair for MacBook

A MacBook's logic board can fail due to liquid, power issues, short circuits, charging, temperature, damaged components or poorly executed previous repairs. In many cases, replacing the entire board is not the only option.

At Daniel Gontán we examine the fault technically to determine whether a more precise electronic repair is possible. This approach is particularly important when the device won't power on, won't charge or contains data you don't want to lose.

Before replacing whole components

  • Check whether the logic board can be repaired.
  • Avoid replacing the screen, battery or board without a diagnosis.
  • Weigh the cost against the actual value of the device.
  • Protect your data before handling the MacBook.
  • Seek a second opinion if it's already been written off.

Liquid damage

Wet MacBook or with corrosion

If your MacBook has been exposed to liquid, do not try to power it on or charge it. Liquid can cause corrosion, short circuits and logic-board damage even if the machine continued to operate for a few hours.

In these cases time matters. We inspect the internal condition, clean and assess which components are affected before proposing a repair. If the device contains important information, we also first evaluate how to protect the data.

If it has been wet

  • Do not turn it on.
  • Do not charge it.
  • Do not dry it with a hairdryer.
  • Do not wait several days to have it checked.
  • Contact us as soon as possible if you want to save the device or data.

Performance and system

Slow MacBook, low on space or macOS errors

Not all MacBook problems are hardware-related. Sometimes the machine performs poorly due to lack of space, macOS errors, outdated installs, background processes or failing storage.

Before replacing parts, we check whether the problem lies in the system, the drive, the configuration or use. You can also consult the service for install macOS if the device needs a clean reinstall or system correction.

Slow boot

We check system status, storage, free space, macOS errors and possible internal faults.

Crashes or shutdowns

We check the battery, temperature, logic board, system, processes and behaviour under load.

macOS reinstallation

We assess whether to reinstall macOS, migrate data, optimise the device or inspect the hardware.

Repair process

How your MacBook repair works

The process is designed so you know what's wrong with the device, what realistic options you have and whether the repair is worthwhile before deciding.

01

You tell us the fault

Tell us the model, approximate year, symptoms, whether it was exposed to liquid, won't charge or won't power on.

02

Technical diagnosis

We check battery, charging, logic board, screen, keyboard, trackpad, storage, temperature and macOS.

03

Clear estimate

We explain what's happening, what solution we recommend and whether it's worth repairing the MacBook.

04

Repair and testing

Once you accept the estimate, we repair and check charging, power-on, battery, screen and overall function.

Mail-in service

Repair MacBook by post

If you don't have a specialised repair centre nearby, you can consult us before sending the device. We'll advise you on the information required, how to prepare the MacBook and which details to provide to speed up the diagnosis.

This service is especially useful for complex faults: MacBooks that won't power on, won't charge, have suffered liquid damage, have a suspected logic-board fault or have already been written off by another workshop.

When it makes sense to send it

  • When the MacBook won't power on.
  • When it won't charge or the USB-C/MagSafe fails.
  • When you suspect a logic-board fault.
  • When it has been exposed to liquid.
  • When you want a second technical opinion.

Personalised estimate

How much does it cost to repair a MacBook?

The price depends on the model, generation, fault, condition of the device, component availability and type of intervention. Repairing a screen is not the same price as diagnosing a logic board, replacing a battery, checking a charging port or recovering a water-damaged device.

That's why we work with a prior diagnosis and estimate. First we assess the case and then tell you whether the repair is worthwhile.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about repairing MacBook

What MacBook faults do you repair?

We check MacBooks that won't power on, won't charge, have broken screens, damaged batteries, faulty keyboards or trackpads, logic-board issues, liquid damage, macOS errors, slowness or data loss.

Do you repair MacBook Pro and MacBook Air?

Yes. This page covers repairs for Apple laptops. If you know the model, you can check the specific pages for MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.

Can you repair a MacBook that won't power on?

Yes. We check power supply, battery, charging, logic board, storage, screen and possible internal damage that prevent booting.

Do you repair MacBook logic boards?

Yes. Apple logic-board repair is one of Daniel Gontán's specialist services, especially for devices with liquid damage, short circuits, charging faults or complex failures.

What should I do if my MacBook has been exposed to liquid?

Do not turn it on or charge it. The recommended action is to power it off, avoid handling it and contact us as soon as possible to assess cleaning, internal damage, the logic board and data.

Can you replace the screen or battery?

Yes, but it's best to confirm the origin of the fault first. A screen with no image doesn't always mean a damaged panel, and an incorrect charge isn't always solved by replacing the battery alone.

Can data be recovered from a MacBook that won't boot?

In many cases, yes. First we examine the cause of the fault and assess the possibility of protecting or recovering the information before other interventions.

Do you provide an estimate before repair?

Yes. Before carrying out the repair you are informed of the diagnosis, the recommended solution and the cost so you can decide.

Contact
