Logic board failure on a 7+ year old Intel model · Repair cost exceeds $600 on a machine worth $800 secondhand · Multiple components failing simultaneously · Machine no longer receives macOS updates (pre-2017 models)

Decision Guide
Is Your MacBook Worth Repairing?
Repair it:
Battery, screen, keyboard, or liquid damage on a MacBook under 7 years old — MacBooks hold value and last longer than most laptops. Usually worth fixing.
Consider replacement:
T2 chip or M-series logic board failure is often uneconomical to repair. Pre-2019 MacBooks with multiple faults may be approaching end-of-life.
Check support status:
Apple drops older Macs from macOS updates. A Mac that can't run the latest macOS is a security risk. Use our End-of-Life Checker.
