MacBook Screen and Battery Repair in San Diego
A cracked MacBook screen or a battery that won't last can stop your work cold. Here's what we fix and what to expect.
🖥️ Cracked or Damaged MacBook Screen
Drops, pressure in a bag, or something left on the keyboard when you close the lid can crack the screen. Lines or dark spots can also mean the display is failing.
We work on almost all MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models. The exception is screen replacement on the newest models: the display flex cable has to be folded into place, which is extremely difficult, so we don't take those screen jobs. It's printed on the bottom of the case, like A1932.
🔋 MacBook Battery Won't Last
- It drains fast or shuts off early.
- macOS shows a "Service" battery message.
- The trackpad is lifting or the case is bulging. Stop using it.
A new battery can bring back hours of use.
