MacBook completely dead
Battery, charger, USB-C/MagSafe, shorted rail or board fault may be involved.

MacBook Logic Board Repair Johannesburg.
No power, no charging, backlight faults, liquid damage and component-level board problems. We diagnose first because a MacBook that appears “dead” does not automatically need a full logic-board replacement.

Board-level diagnosis
Do not buy a motherboard before the fault is proven.
No power is a symptom, not a diagnosis. We separate simpler power-path faults from actual logic-board damage before quoting.
Black screen / backlight
A MacBook can be running with a failed display or backlight path. We test before calling it a screen.
Liquid damage
Corrosion can affect several circuits. Stop charging and avoid repeated power attempts.
USB-C / MagSafe fault
Port, charger, battery and board charging circuits need to be separated.
Repair vs board replacement
We explain when component repair is sensible and when replacement is the more reliable route.
Quote before board work
Board-level repairs only proceed after the diagnostic result and repair route are approved.
What makes board work different
Higher uncertainty. Higher need for diagnosis.
Screen and battery replacements are often predictable once the model is known. Logic-board repairs are different: the same “dead MacBook” symptom can come from multiple circuits. This page is designed to qualify the case, not promise a blind fixed price.
Confirm exact MacBook model and charger behaviour.
Record liquid exposure, power surge or drop history.
Test display output and power path before condemning the board.
Diagnostic first
Give us the symptom. We will identify the repair path.
How much does MacBook logic-board repair cost?
Logic-board faults cannot be priced responsibly from the symptom alone. We diagnose the board and quote before repair. The R350 diagnostic fee is waived when the approved repair proceeds.
Can a MacBook with no power be repaired?
Often yes, but no power can come from the battery, charger, charging path, shorted component, liquid damage or logic board. We diagnose before recommending a board repair.
Do you replace the whole logic board?
Sometimes replacement is the practical route, but selected faults can be repaired at component level. The decision depends on the board, damage and repair economics.
