Sometimes — it depends on the fault type and extent of damage. Backlight driver failures and disconnected display cables can often be repaired without full replacement. A shattered LCD or OLED panel requires full replacement. Our free assessment identifies exactly which is needed so you’re never paying for more than necessary.

Common signs include: the trackpad feels raised or doesn’t click properly, the bottom case is visibly bowing outward, the device runs warmer than usual, or the keyboard feels uneven.

Yes — we repair screens on all MacBook models: MacBook Air (M1, M2, M3 and Intel) and MacBook Pro 13-inch, 14-inch and 16-inch (all generations). The repair method differs by model, which is why we assess each device individually.

Do not try to power it on — this causes the most damage. Hold the power button to force shutdown if it’s still on. Do not plug it in. Do not put it in rice (this is a myth — it does nothing). Call us on 03 9997 8092 or bring it in immediately. Every hour matters.

Almost always. A battery replacement restores full runtime at a fraction of the cost of a new device. Even a 5–7 year old MacBook in otherwise good condition can get another 2–4 years of productive use with a battery swap. Our technicians assess battery health and give you honest advice either way.

Screen replacement, battery swap, keyboard and charging port repairs are typically done the same day in 1–3 hours. Water damage and logic board work takes 1–3 days. Data recovery varies by complexity. We always give you an accurate timeline after the free diagnostic — before any work begins.
