Laptop repairs, upgrades and cleaning made clear

From a stuck hinge to a silent SSD upgrade, scroll through the build to see exactly what our bench can do, layer by layer.

STG 01 / INTAKE

  1. STG 01 / INTAKE

    One scan before anything is opened

    Won't power on, running hot, crawling on boot or showing a cracked panel, start with a free bench diagnosis. We test, isolate the fault and send a clear estimate on WhatsApp before any screw turns.

    ISSUE DETECTED
  2. STG 02 / DISPLAY

    Screens and hinges, fixed without drama

    Flickering lines, dim backlights, cracked panels and loose hinges. We fit original-quality panels and rebuild hinge mounts so the lid opens like it did on day one.

  3. STG 03 / INPUT

    Keyboard and trackpad replacement

    Worn keys, liquid spills or a trackpad that stopped clicking, we separate the deck and replace per-key or full-deck, whichever is honestly cheaper for you.

  4. STG 04 / POWER

    Battery replacement with real hours back

    If your laptop dies before the second meeting, the cells are done. We fit a matched, genuine-grade battery and calibrate it so the percentage you see is the truth.

  5. STG 05 / UPGRADES

    RAM and SSD upgrades while you wait

    The cheapest 'new laptop' is the one you already own. Extra RAM and an NVMe SSD cut boot times from minutes to seconds, your data cloned across safely, privacy-first.

  6. STG 06 / COOLING

    Deep clean, fresh thermal paste, quiet fans

    Dust chokes the fan, paste dries out and the CPU throttles. We strip the cooling path, repaste and rebuild it, cooler, quieter and measurably faster under load.

  7. STG 07 / LOGIC BOARD

    Component-level motherboard repair

    No-power, liquid damage and charging-circuit faults are repaired at component level on our microscope bench, a fraction of the cost of a board swap, with your data untouched.

  8. STG 08 / HANDOVER

    Stress-tested, certified, returned

    Thermals, battery, keyboard matrix, ports and display all pass a final stress test before handover. You get the test report, an invoice and warranty on selected repairs.

// Bench process

Why MacBooks deserve a specialist bench

MacBooks are built like nothing else, batteries glued under the trackpad, keyboards riveted into the top case, displays bonded into lids thinner than a coin, and on Apple Silicon, storage soldered straight onto the logic board. Generic laptop shops improvise here, and improvisation on a MacBook is expensive. Our technicians work with Apple-specific tooling, torque-controlled drivers and model-by-model service references for every generation from 2015 Intel machines to the current M4 lineup.

Our first answer is never 'replace the logic board'. A MacBook that won't power on is, more often than you'd think, a failed charging IC, a corroded fuse or one bad power rail, component-level faults our microscope bench repairs at a fraction of a board swap. Diagnosis comes first and the estimate explains what failed, what we'll do about it, and what it costs. You approve before anything happens.

Your data is treated as the most valuable part of the machine. On Apple Silicon, storage lives on the board itself, which is exactly why our liquid-damage protocol prioritises board survival and data accessibility before cosmetic repair. We'll always discuss backup options first, never ask for your Apple ID password, and FileVault stays under your control throughout.

// What we fix

Common MacBook faults on our bench

Spot your symptom below, every job opens with a diagnosis and a clear quote, never with a screwdriver.

Same day

Battery replacement

Service-battery warnings, backup down to an hour, or a swollen pack pushing the trackpad up. We replace the full adhesive-mounted pack with capacity-verified cells and recalibrate so macOS reports health correctly.

  • "Service Recommended" in battery settings
  • Backup fell off a cliff
  • Trackpad raised or lid not closing flush
1–2 days

Keyboard replacement

Sticky butterfly keys, dead rows after a spill, or backlight failure. Because Apple rivets keyboards into the top case, we replace the assembly properly, not pry-and-glue patch jobs that fail in a month.

  • Keys repeating or not registering
  • Sticky/mushy feel on butterfly keyboards
  • Backlight dead in patches
Same day

Trackpad repair

Force Touch gone numb, phantom clicks or a cursor with a mind of its own. We replace the trackpad and its flex cable, then calibrate click pressure so it feels exactly like it did on day one.

  • Click not registering or firing on its own
  • Force Touch haptics dead
  • Cursor jumps or drags randomly
1–2 days

Screen replacement

Cracked Retina panels, backlight 'stage light' stripes, or flexgate symptoms on affected models. We replace the full display assembly with colour-accurate panels and test True Tone across the brightness range.

  • Cracked glass or dead zones
  • Stage-light stripes along the bottom
  • Display blacks out past a certain lid angle
Same day

SSD & data solutions

Storage upgrades on Intel MacBooks with removable SSDs, plus migration, cloning and recovery support across the lineup. On soldered Apple Silicon storage, we focus on data rescue and clean macOS migration to a new machine.

  • "Startup disk almost full" every week
  • Old Intel MacBook crawling on original SSD
  • Need files moved safely to a new Mac
1–2 days

Liquid damage treatment

Chai, coffee or rain, power off, unplug, don't charge. We open the machine, neutralise corrosion with ultrasonic cleaning, and assess rail by rail. On Apple Silicon, fast action protects the soldered storage your data lives on.

  • Spill followed by shutdown or odd behaviour
  • Some keys dead after liquid exposure
  • Won't power on after getting wet
1–2 days

Logic board diagnosis & repair

No power, no display, fan spins then nothing, we diagnose at component level under the microscope: charging ICs, power rails, fuses and connectors. Most 'dead' MacBooks don't need a new board, and our quotes prove it.

  • Completely dead, no charging response
  • Powers on but screen stays black
  • Shuts down under load with no warning
Same day

macOS support & tune-up

Clean macOS reinstalls, stubborn update failures, startup issues and storage cleanups, plus honest advice on whether your Intel Mac should stay on its current macOS version for speed.

  • Update stuck or boot to question-mark folder
  • Mac noticeably slow after an update
  • Storage full with no obvious culprit

Why customers trust Zerofix with their MacBook

Arjun M.

Dec 2025

Upgraded my old Inspiron to a 512 GB NVMe with full OS migration. Boot time went from over two minutes to about fifteen seconds. They shared the diagnosis report and quote on WhatsApp first, then photos of the install. Felt very transparent.

Spilled chai on my MacBook Air and assumed the worst. Their team opened it the same day, treated the corrosion, and saved the logic board, at a fraction of what a board replacement would cost. Estimate was approved by me on WhatsApp before any work.

// MACBOOK REPAIR FAQS

Asked before every booking

  • Both, every day. Batteries, displays, keyboards, trackpads and liquid treatment apply across the lineup. The honest difference: on Apple Silicon, storage is soldered to the logic board, so board faults carry data implications that Intel machines don't, which is exactly why our M-series liquid and board protocols prioritise data accessibility first. We'll explain what's possible for your specific model before quoting.

  • Usually not, and be wary of anyone who quotes a board swap without opening the machine. In our experience most no-power MacBooks come down to a failed charging IC, a blown fuse or one bad power rail, all repairable at component level for a fraction of a replacement board. Diagnosis tells us which it is, and you only pay for the actual fix.

  • Hardware repairs, battery, screen, keyboard, trackpad, never touch your storage, and FileVault stays locked under your password throughout; we never ask for your Apple ID or login credentials. For board-level and liquid-damage work we discuss backup and data-rescue options before starting, because on Apple Silicon your data lives on the board itself. No recovery is ever guaranteed without diagnosis, and your privacy comes first at every step.

  • Typically 30–50% on out-of-warranty repairs, mainly because we repair at component level instead of swapping whole assemblies. Example: where a service centre may quote a full top-case for a battery (the battery is glued into it), we replace the battery pack itself. If your MacBook is still under Apple warranty or AppleCare+, we'll tell you to use that first, it's the right call and we'd rather you trust us later.

  • Batteries, trackpads, SSD work and macOS jobs are usually same-day after estimate approval. Keyboards, displays, liquid treatment and logic-board repair take 1–2 days, adhesive curing and post-repair burn-in testing aren't steps worth skipping. Parts and workmanship carry our 30-day warranty, documented on your WhatsApp invoice; diagnosis-only visits carry no charge and no obligation.
