iMac Logic Board Repairs Melbourne

Logic board repair costs vary depending on the specific issue and iMac model. Component-level repairs typically range from $250-$600, while complete logic board replacements can range from $500-$1,200, depending on your iMac model. We provide free diagnostics and detailed quotes before any work begins.

Most logic board issues can be repaired through component-level fixes, micro-soldering, or targeted replacements. However, severely damaged boards with multiple failed components may be more cost-effective to replace entirely. We’ll always provide honest recommendations based on repair viability and cost.

Simple component repairs can often be completed the same day. More complex micro-soldering repairs or cases requiring specialised components may take 2-5 business days. We provide accurate time estimates after diagnostics.

In most cases, your data remains safe on your hard drive or SSD during logic board repairs, as storage is separate from the logic board. However, we always recommend having current backups before any hardware repair. If needed, we can back up your data before beginning repairs.

This depends on your iMac’s age, overall condition, and repair cost versus replacement value. For iMacs 5 years old or newer, logic board repair is usually very cost-effective compared to replacement. We’ll provide honest advice on whether repair makes financial sense for your specific situation.

Common causes include power surges, liquid spills, overheating due to dust buildup, manufacturing defects, age-related component degradation, and physical damage. Some iMac models have known GPU or capacitor issues that we’re experienced in addressing.

Yes, all our logic board repairs include comprehensive warranty coverage—typically 3-6 months on parts and labor depending on the repair type. Warranty details are clearly outlined in your service agreement.

Absolutely. We specialise in liquid damage restoration, including ultrasonic cleaning, corrosion removal, and component replacement. Success rates depend on the extent of damage and how quickly treatment begins after exposure.

When properly repaired, your iMac should function exactly as it did before the logic board failure. We perform extensive testing to ensure full functionality and reliability before returning your device.

Yes, we service all iMac generations from vintage models to the latest releases. While parts availability can be challenging for very old models, our extensive supplier network and component-level repair capabilities allow us to fix even discontinued iMacs.

In some cases, yes. While the logic board is accessed, we can often perform upgrades like RAM installation, SSD replacement, or thermal paste renewal. We’ll discuss upgrade opportunities during your consultation.

Repair involves fixing specific failed components on your existing logic board through micro-soldering or part replacement. Replacement means installing a completely new or refurbished logic board. Repair is usually more economical but not always possible, depending on the extent of damage.

If you have valid AppleCare coverage, Apple should handle logic board failures at no cost. However, if your coverage has expired or the damage isn’t covered (like liquid damage), we offer faster and more affordable alternatives to Apple’s out-of-warranty repair pricing.

Regular maintenance helps: keep your iMac in well-ventilated spaces, avoid liquid near your computer, use surge protectors, keep the interior dust-free with periodic cleaning, and address overheating issues promptly. We provide specific recommendations based on your iMac model.
