MacBook Logic Board & Motherboard Repair
Won’t turn on, won’t charge, restart loops, no backlight. Apple replaces the whole board. We repair the part that failed — one chip, one capacitor, one trace — under a 400× microscope.
RM 499-899
TechFix, component-level

Only if component-level repair is not possible
We try component-level repair first, and we quote after diagnosis before any work starts.
No fix, no fee — If we cannot repair your board, the RM150 diagnosis fee is waived in full. It applies only when the board can be repaired and you decide not to proceed. No surprises, no hidden costs.
Configure your repair
Select your MacBook for logic board diagnosis

No Fix, No Fee Guarantee
If we cannot repair your MacBook logic board, you pay nothing — the RM150 diagnosis fee is waived in full. The fee applies only when the board can be repaired and you choose not to proceed. This is our honest commitment to every customer — no surprises, no hidden costs.
Board faults, by symptom
These are starting prices for the fault types we see most. Which one applies is established at diagnosis — a machine that will not power on could be any of three of these, and guessing costs you money.
No power at all
No light, no fan, no response to the power button. Usually a power management IC or a failed rail rather than the whole board — the most common board job we see.
RM 599
USB-C charging fault
Not charging, charging intermittently, or only on one port. Often the charging IC or the port's own circuit, and one of the cheaper board repairs.
RM 499
Liquid damage on the board
Corrosion after a spill, cleaned ultrasonically and then repaired at component level. Priced higher because the damage is rarely just one component.
RM 799
Backlight or display circuit
Screen dark but the machine clearly running, or a very faint image under torchlight. The backlight circuit on the board, not the display itself.
Quote after diagnosis
Restart loops and shutdowns
Booting and dying, kernel panics, or shutting down under load. Usually a voltage rail that cannot hold up once the machine draws current.
Quote after diagnosis
Complex IC replacement
Multiple failed components, or a chip that needs full hot-air removal and reballing. The upper end of the range, and where our microscope work earns its keep.

Your final quote follows diagnosis, and no work starts until you approve it. Diagnosis for a MacBook is RM150. The diagnosis fee is waived if you go ahead with the repair, or if the MacBook cannot be repaired.
Find the Exact Board-Level Fault
No-power and motherboard symptoms overlap across charging, liquid damage, backlight and power rails. Start with the right diagnostic path so your booking keeps the issue context.

Important Note
Logic board repair requires specialized micro-soldering skills and equipment. Success rates vary depending on the type and extent of damage. We provide honest assessments and only charge if the repair is successful. If we can't fix it, you pay nothing.
Can an M1, M2 or M3 board be repaired?
Yes — many of them. Charging circuits, power management ICs, display and USB-C rails, and damaged traces are all repairable on Apple Silicon boards, and we do them routinely. What is different is that the SoC and the storage are soldered to the board, so a failure in those specific chips is a harder ceiling than it was on Intel machines.
The practical consequence is about your data, not the repair: on M-series MacBooks the storage cannot simply be moved to another machine. If the data matters more than the hardware, tell us at drop-off and we will approach the board in the order that protects it.

Diagnosis first, always
Board work cannot be quoted from a description of the symptom, because the same symptom has several causes. The diagnosis is where the price comes from, and you decide after it.
Intake and symptom history
What happened, when, and what has been tried already. A machine that was dropped is a different investigation from one that died overnight, and knowing which saves diagnostic time.
- You approve here
Component-level diagnosis
Multimeter, thermal camera and microscope work to find the actual failed component rather than the general area. This is what produces your quote — and where an honest "not worth it" comes from too.
Micro-soldering repair
The failed chip, capacitor, transistor or trace is replaced under a 400× microscope with a hot-air rework station. Only the part that failed — not the board.
Load and stress testing
The board is run under load to confirm the fix holds when the machine gets hot, not just when it first boots. Board repairs that fail usually fail here, on our bench rather than your desk.
Reassembly and handover
Back into the chassis, full function test, and your 90-Day Warranty on the repair explained before you collect.
