MacBook Air screen replacement

SCREENDone
MacBook Air screen replacement

This MacBook Air was dropped or stood on and the screen cracked. We took off the bottom case, took the battery out, undid the display cables and hinges, fitted a new screen, and it boots again.

MacBook keyboard replacement after a liquid spill

SPILLKeys
MacBook keyboard replacement after a liquid spill

This silver MacBook came in after a liquid spill. We took it down to the top case, swapped the old keyboard for a new one, then put it back together and powered it on.

Your own MacBook, repaired at the board

Corporate IT handles the company laptop. The MacBook you bought yourself falls to you. When it will not power on after a spill or a bad charger, the usual answer elsewhere is a replacement board and a wiped drive.

We micro-solder in-house. That means finding the failed charging IC or the liquid-damaged section of the logic board and repairing that, with your files left on the drive. Windows laptops get the same bench and the same approach.

Deadline problems from the office crowd

The SSD that stopped booting

We recover data in-house from dead SSDs and laptops, even after a drop or a spill.

The external drive that won't mount

Stop running recovery software on it. Power it down and bring it to us for a free diagnostic.

The phone with every login on it

Cracked screens, dead batteries and failed charging ports on iPhone and Samsung, mostly done the same day.

The iPad you present from

Screen and battery replacements for every iPad, with Covered Screen included on each screen we replace.

Phone protection for people who can't be offline

Covered Plus protects one phone for $5.99, $7.99 or $9.99 a month depending on its value. Each claim is $50, with 2 claims a year, for drops, spills, liquid, battery and charging failures.

It does not cover loss or theft, and claims open 31 days after joining. Have a laptop, tablet and console at home too? Covered Everything is $19.99 a month for one phone plus up to 25 more devices in the home, with $99 claims on the non-phone devices.

Either plan is set up when you collect a repair, and you can cancel anytime.

Upgraded your MacBook? Cash out the old one

The reverse commute up North Tryon

It is about 7 miles north on North Tryon Street (NC-49). Turn right onto E. W.T. Harris Blvd, then into Town Center Plaza and look for Suite U. Parking at the front door is free, which beats paying for an Uptown deck.

No car downtown? Catch the Blue Line at 3rd Street, CTC/Arena, 7th Street or 9th Street toward UNC Charlotte, then take a short rideshare. We close on Sundays.

Questions from Uptown Charlotte

Can you fix a MacBook that's out of AppleCare?

Yes. We repair the logic board itself rather than replacing it, and your data stays on the drive. The diagnostic costs nothing.

Can I drop off after work?

Yes, we're open until 7pm Monday to Saturday. Book a slot online and you'll know the price before you head north.

Should I run recovery software on a failing drive?

No. A failing drive gets harder to recover the longer it runs. Turn it off and bring it in for a free look.

Do you repair laptops and phones for small teams?

Yes. Bring in team laptops and phones and we'll give you a free diagnostic and a straight answer on repair versus replace.

Does Covered Plus pay out if I leave my phone in a rideshare?

No. Covered Plus excludes loss and theft. It pays for drops, spills, liquid, battery and charging failures, at $50 a claim.

Can I sell a MacBook I'm still paying off?

Yes, financed devices are accepted. Send the model and condition online, accept the offer by text, and get paid the same day.

Can I text you a photo before I come up?

Yes. Send it to (980) 446-0767 and we'll tell you what we see. You can also call (980) 890-4990 with questions.

What if I can't get away during the week?

Come up on a Saturday between 10am and 7pm, or mail it in. We accept mail-in repairs from anywhere in the US and return them with free insured shipping.
