Common MacBook repair enquiries
Battery and charging
Battery warnings, rapid discharge and USB-C or MagSafe faults need different checks.
Liquid exposure
Stop charging the MacBook and protect important files before further troubleshooting.
Repair value
Model, age, condition and part availability affect whether repair is economical.
Pricing and how repairs work
Diagnosis and repair costs
$150/hour including GST
For standalone diagnosis and troubleshooting. Hardware parts and repairs are quoted separately for the exact model and diagnosed fault.
If an approved repair quote explicitly includes diagnosis, that included work is not charged again. We confirm the scope and price before paid work begins.
Many MacBook screens use a complete display assembly. Some replacements can exceed $1,000; standard laptop-screen ranges do not apply. The exact model and damage photos help us check the compatible part and quote.
Arrange the right help for your MacBook
Software and troubleshooting: remote or onsite support may suit the task. Hardware faults: physical damage, intermittent power or storage problems may need inspection.
- Describe the problem. Send the model if known, symptoms, suburb and useful photos. Mention important files.
- We review the options. A local person checks safety, data risk, parts and repair value, then confirms the service arrangement.
- Approve the scope and price. Paid work starts after approval. Follow messages and updates in My Tech Help.

Model-specific repair guidance
MacBook Pro screen replacement and battery issues
MacBook Pro screen and battery enquiries
MacBook Pro screen replacement: Cracks, lines, flickering and black screens can have different causes. Model and year affect display assembly compatibility, price and whether repair is economical. A black display does not always mean a broken screen.
MacBook Pro or Air battery issues: Battery service notices, rapid discharge and charging faults call for different checks. If a battery is swollen or unusually hot, stop using the device and get professional advice.
See the MacBook black-screen and startup guide and MacBook battery decision guide. Request a MacBook repair assessment with the model and symptoms. We are an independent service provider, not an Apple-authorised repair centre.
Protect files first
Ask about data safety before resets, reinstallations or storage work. Liquid exposure, startup faults and battery damage can change the safest order of work.
Repair, recover, upgrade or replace?
A recent MacBook with a charger or battery issue can be worth assessing. For an older unsupported model, compare repair, clean-up and data transfer against replacement.

Frequently asked questions
How much does MacBook repair in Epping cost?
Standalone diagnosis and troubleshooting is $150/hour including GST. Hardware pricing depends on the exact MacBook model, the diagnosed fault and compatible parts. Display assemblies can differ substantially from standard laptop screens; get a model-specific quote before approving repair. See diagnostic pricing and quote conditions.
Which MacBook model details should I send?
Send the model name, year or model identifier if available, plus the symptom and photos of visible damage. If the Mac starts, About This Mac can help identify it. Do not publish your serial number or send account passwords; any identifier needed for a parts check should be handled privately. Apple’s Mac model identification guide explains where to find model information. Crop serial numbers and personal details from any photos you share.
Does a black MacBook screen mean the display must be replaced?
No. Power, charging, startup and display faults can look similar. Describe whether the Mac powers on, makes sounds or shows anything on an external display if already connected. Avoid buying a display before diagnosis confirms the fault and compatible assembly.
Can you assess MacBook battery and charging problems?
Yes. Battery condition, charger compatibility, the cable and charging connection need checking before choosing a repair. Stop using or charging a MacBook with swelling, liquid damage, smoke, a burning smell or unusual heat. Explain those symptoms before arranging assessment.
What should I do after spilling liquid on a MacBook?
Stop using and charging it. Do not repeatedly try to start it to check whether it still works. Tell us what happened and whether important files are backed up, so safety, data risk and inspection can be prioritised. Repair and data-recovery outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
Will my MacBook files be safe during repair?
Back up important files first only if the Mac is stable and safe to use. If it is damaged or storage appears unstable, explain the data priority before further testing. Repair is not a guarantee of data recovery; recovery or backup work may require a separate scope. See how access, backups and data risk are handled. For a stable Mac, Apple’s Time Machine backup instructions explain how to create a backup before repair.
How long does a MacBook repair take?
The timeframe depends on the diagnosis, model-specific parts, repair scope and availability. Include the exact model and symptoms when enquiring. Ask for timing after the assessment and parts check; an enquiry alone does not confirm a booking or turnaround.
Are you an Apple-authorised repair provider?
Your IT & Tech Mates provides independent MacBook repair help and is not an Apple-authorised service provider. If warranty or AppleCare coverage may apply, check your Apple service options before approving independent work. For local support, view Epping tech support and describe the issue in QuoteMe below.
Ready to explain the problem?
Tell us the MacBook model if known, the symptoms and whether important files need protecting. You can review the request before sending it.
