Common Symptoms
Recognise any of these? Walk in and we'll diagnose and fix it on the spot.
MacBook Completely Dead
No response when pressing power button — no fan spin, no chime, no display backlight. Could be battery, charging, or logic board.
Black Screen but Fan Spins
MacBook powers on (fan runs, possibly chime) but display remains completely dark — display, backlight, or GPU fault.
MacBook Turns On Then Off Immediately
Powers on briefly then shuts down — thermal issue, logic board fault, or corrupted firmware in some Apple Silicon models.
Power Button Has No Effect
Pressing the power button does nothing at all — no LED, no fan, no sound. Often a dead battery or faulty power circuit.
Stuck on Apple Logo
MacBook powers on, shows the Apple logo, but never reaches the login screen — software or storage fault requiring recovery mode intervention.

Frequently Asked Questions
My MacBook won't turn on — what should I try first?
Hold power for 10 seconds to force a hard reset. On Intel MacBooks, try SMC reset (Shift+Control+Option+Power). On Apple Silicon, hold the power button for 10 seconds. If none of these work, bring it in for a free diagnostic.
Can a completely dead MacBook be repaired?
In most cases yes. A dead MacBook is usually a dead battery, charging fault, or logic board issue — all of which are repairable. We diagnose for free before quoting.
How long does MacBook dead-board repair take?
Simple faults (battery, SMC reset): same day. Logic board component repair: 1–3 business days depending on fault complexity.
