Component-Level MacBook Logic Board Repair

If your MacBook will not turn on, shuts down randomly, or has a black screen, the fault is often on the logic board - and it is usually fixable. At 73inc in Grey Lynn, Auckland, we repair the specific failed component on the board rather than defaulting to a full board replacement, which is why we can often save MacBooks that other shops write off.

A diagnostic assessment takes 1-2 hours, and most component-level repairs are completed within 24 hours.

Will not turn on at all - no response to the power button. See our MacBook not turning on guide for more detail.

Random restarts or crashes during normal use.

Fans run at full speed constantly, even at idle.

Our Diagnostic & Repair Process

Diagnostic assessment - 1-2 hours using a microscope and specialised equipment to identify the exact failed component. If you go ahead with the quoted repair, the diagnostic fee is credited toward the total.
Itemised quote - a clear cost for the specific repair before any work goes ahead.
Component-level repair - microsoldering and board repair focused on the failed part, wherever that is possible.
Full board replacement - only where component-level repair genuinely is not viable, such as extensive physical damage or a failed Apple Silicon SoC.
Data check - we assess the SSD as part of every diagnostic. If it is intact, your data is usually recoverable. See our data recovery page for details.

Turnaround: most component-level repairs are completed within 24 hours; more complex faults can take 2-3 business days. All repairs are covered by a 90-day return-to-base warranty.

Repair or Replace?

If you are weighing up whether it is worth fixing an older MacBook versus buying new or refurbished, read our full breakdown: Logic Board Repair vs Buying a New Mac in NZ. The short version: repair is usually the better financial choice for machines under seven years old with a component-level fault. If replacement makes more sense, our refurbished MacBook range is backed by the same 90-day warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a MacBook logic board?

The logic board is Apple's term for the motherboard - the central component connecting the CPU, memory, storage and every other part of the machine. On Apple Silicon MacBooks, the CPU, GPU, RAM and storage controller are combined into a single chip.

How long does logic board repair take?

A diagnostic assessment takes 1-2 hours. Most component-level repairs are completed within 24 hours. More complex faults can take 2-3 business days.

Is logic board repair cheaper than replacement?

Yes, in most cases. Component-level repair means only the specific failed part is replaced, which typically costs a fraction of a full logic board replacement.

Can a logic board be repaired after liquid damage?

Often, yes. Liquid exposure usually causes corrosion on specific components rather than destroying the whole board, and component-level repair resolves many of these cases.

What causes logic board failure?

Common causes include liquid spills, power surges, physical damage, faulty charging accessories and general wear over time.

Does Apple repair logic boards at component level?

The authorised Apple out-of-warranty process typically replaces the entire logic board rather than repairing the specific failed component, which is why it is usually significantly more expensive than an independent component-level repair.

What MacBook models do you repair?

All MacBook models - MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and older MacBook - including both Intel and Apple Silicon M1, M2, M3 and M4 machines.

Is my data safe during logic board repair?

We check the SSD as part of every diagnostic. If it is intact, your data is usually recoverable regardless of the repair path.
