MacBook repair price starting 80$
With the transition to Apple Silicon chips—M1, M2, and now M3—MacBook repairs have become significantly more complex. One major difference lies in the motherboard repair process. Unlike Intel-based MacBooks, the newer M-series boards integrate the SSD and RAM directly onto the motherboard. This makes logic board repair a delicate process that requires micro-soldering expertise and advanced diagnostics equipment.
Replacing the MacBook battery is also more challenging in M1, M2, and M3 models. Apple has begun gluing batteries in place and placing them under key components, meaning technicians must carefully disassemble major parts, including speakers and logic boards, to reach the battery safely. Additionally, diagnostics for newer models often require proprietary Apple tools and knowledge of their T2 or Apple Silicon security chips, making it more difficult for general repair shops to troubleshoot power, boot, or charging issues.
Choosing a certified MacBook repair expert ensures your device is handled safely and your data is protected during repair.

MacBook Screen Replacement for M2, M3, and M4 Models
Screen replacement on Apple’s latest MacBooks, including M2, M3, and M4 chip models, is increasingly complex. These devices feature high-resolution Retina displays with advanced color calibration, and in many cases, True Toneand ProMotion (120Hz refresh rate). For example, the MacBook Air M2 and M3 (13.6") have a Liquid Retina display with 2560x1664 resolution, while the 14" and 16" MacBook Pro M3/M4 Pro/Max models offer up to 3024x1964 and 3456x2234 resolution with mini-LED technology.
With these newer MacBooks, screens are tightly integrated with the logic board, making screen replacement more technical. Features like brightness sensors and True Tone may not function correctly if the screen isn't replaced and calibrated using Apple-compatible tools. In addition, serial number pairing between the screen and motherboard may trigger system warnings if improperly installed.
Choosing a repair technician familiar with M-series Mac display architecture ensures your replacement screen delivers full brightness, color accuracy, and compatibility — without losing critical display features.
MacBook Repair vs Replacement: What’s the Best Option in 2025
Why Repairing Your MacBook Is Often the Smarter Choice
Buying a new MacBook can cost anywhere from $1,300 to over $4,000 — and with each new generation, repairs are becoming more difficult and expensive due to soldered components and glued batteries. In contrast, repairing your existing device can extend its life by several years at a fraction of the cost.
Here’s why repair makes sense:
-
Cost-Effective: Screen replacement, battery service, or logic board repair can cost 70% less than a new MacBook.
-
Data Preservation: Repairing keeps your files and settings intact, avoiding data transfers or loss.
-
Performance Still Holds Up: M1, M2, and even Intel-based models still perform well for most users. Often, a fresh battery or SSD is all you need.
-
Eco-Friendly: Repairing reduces e-waste and your carbon footprint.
-
Apple Parts Availability: Many parts for older MacBooks are still available, and we work with trusted suppliers or certified refurb options.
Whether it’s a screen issue, battery failure, or logic board damage, repairing your MacBook is usually smarter than replacing it, especially for M1, M2, and M3 models.
Micro Soldering for MacBook Data Recovery: What You Need to Know
When a MacBook stops working due to motherboard failure, recovering your files often requires a specialized technique called micro soldering. This is not your average repair — it’s a delicate process that involves working on components smaller than a grain of rice using a microscope and precision tools.
Older MacBooks (Pre-2016)
In older models, your SSD (storage) is usually removable. If the motherboard fails, we can take out the SSD and recover your data using another system. It’s simpler, faster, and doesn’t always require deep board-level work.
Newer MacBooks (2018 and Up – M1, M2, M3)
Apple’s newer MacBooks come with soldered SSDs, meaning your data is physically attached to the logic board. If the board fails, the only way to access your files is to repair the motherboard itself — no shortcuts. This is where expert micro soldering is essential. We must diagnose and repair power circuits, data lines, or even the CPU environment before your data becomes accessible again.
This kind of work requires a certified and experienced logic board technician. Most standard repair shops can’t perform this level of recovery — but we can. Whether your Mac suffered liquid damage, no power, or logic board failure, we’re equipped to safely retrieve your data from even the latest MacBook models.
MacBook Keyboard Replacements and Repairs
Replacing a MacBook keyboard or laptop keyboard can vary significantly depending on the model. For newer MacBook Air models (M1, M2) and MacBook Pro models (2016 and newer), the keyboard is integrated into the top case, making the repair process more complex and time-consuming. These models typically require 3–6 hours of service and full disassembly due to the use of rivets instead of screws, which increases the difficulty.
Older MacBook models (2012–2015) are generally more repair-friendly. These keyboards can be replaced without removing major components, and the repair usually takes around 2–3 hours. On the other hand, Windows laptops like HP, Dell, and Lenovo can vary in complexity. However, business models such as the ThinkPad are typically easier to repair, often requiring just 1–2 hours for a keyboard replacement.
At our Montreal repair center, we specialize in MacBook keyboard replacement and offer expert-level repairs for both MacBooks and Windows laptops. Whether you need a keyboard replacement for your MacBook Pro or laptop screen repair, we provide fast diagnostics and affordable, high-quality service with genuine parts.
