Question 1

How much does MacBook Pro repair cost in Johannesburg?

Accepted Answer

MacBook Pro repair costs depend on the model and fault: battery replacement starts at R 1,500, screen replacement starts at R 3,500, keyboard replacement starts at R 2,500, logic board microsoldering from R 1,800, and liquid damage assessment includes a free ultrasonic clean quote. We provide a fixed price before any work begins.

Question 2

Can M1 Pro, M2 Pro, and M3 Pro MacBook Pro models be repaired?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We repair all M-series MacBook Pro models — M1 Pro/Max (2021), M2 Pro/Max (2022–2023), and M3 Pro/Max (2023). RAM and storage are soldered to the logic board on all M-series machines and cannot be upgraded after purchase, but battery, screen, keyboard, trackpad, port, and board-level repairs are all available.

Question 3

What is logic board microsoldering and when is it needed?

Accepted Answer

Logic board microsoldering is component-level repair on the MacBook Pro main circuit board. It is needed when a MacBook Pro has no power, no display, GPU faults, or USB-C charging failures that cannot be resolved by replacing the port board alone. We use professional rework stations and perform these repairs in-house — the alternative is a full board replacement costing significantly more.

Question 4

My MacBook Pro has a black screen but the fans spin. What is wrong?

Accepted Answer

A black screen with fans spinning usually indicates a display failure, a backlight fault, or a GPU-related logic board issue. We diagnose this by connecting an external display first — if the external works, the fault is in the screen or display cable. If the external also fails, we investigate the logic board. We run a free diagnostic before quoting.

Question 5

How long does MacBook Pro repair take?

Accepted Answer

Battery and port repairs typically take 1.5 to 3 hours. Screen replacement takes 2 to 4 hours depending on model. Keyboard replacement takes 2 to 4 hours. Logic board and liquid damage repairs take 3 to 5 business days as they involve component-level diagnosis and sourcing. We give you a specific timeline when you drop your machine in.

Question 6

Is the MacBook Pro butterfly keyboard covered under any warranty?

Accepted Answer

Apple ran a keyboard service programme for affected butterfly keyboard MacBook Pro models (2016–2019) — this programme has now ended. If your butterfly keyboard has failed, we replace it with the full keyboard assembly. We also replace keyboards on all other MacBook Pro models. Our 12-month warranty covers all keyboard repairs.

Question 7

Do you offer a warranty on MacBook Pro repairs?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all repairs carry a 12-month ZA Support warranty on parts and labour. If the same fault reoccurs within 12 months, we fix it at no charge. This applies to all repairs including screen, battery, keyboard, trackpad, port, and logic board work.
