Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about macbook repair in Craigmillar, Edinburgh.
Every MacBook job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts. Send us a message or give us a call with a quick description of the issue and we'll come back with a clear plan tailored to your MacBook. No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Most macbook repair jobs in Craigmillar are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in EH16 — Niddrie Mains Road, Greendykes Road, Duddingston Road West — and keep you updated by message until the MacBook is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH16 postcode area. That includes Niddrie Mains Road, Greendykes Road, Duddingston Road West, Niddrie, Bingham, Newcraighall, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We repair every major MacBook brand in Craigmillar: Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Toshiba, MSI, Razer, Microsoft Surface, and more. Business-grade machines like Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude/XPS, and HP EliteBook/ProBook are also fully covered. If you're not sure whether your model is supported, just send us a message — almost all are.
There's a logical sequence we work through for Craigmillar MacBooks. Step 1: try a known-good charger (cables fail far more than people think). Step 2: SMC reset (resolves a surprising number of "won't charge" cases). Step 3: inspect the charging port for physical damage or debris. Step 4: test battery health and the charging IC on the logic board. Most cases resolve at step 1 or 3; logic-board work is rarer.
Yes — battery swaps on MacBooks are routine for us. For Craigmillar customers we use OEM or OEM-grade batteries, never unbranded cells, and follow Apple's adhesive-removal procedure on glued models (pretty much every Retina-era MacBook). Process: full top-case removal, controlled adhesive softening, careful pack lift, replacement fit, BMS reset. Same-day if you book early; collection across EH16 available.
Yes — and component-level rather than "replace the whole board". For Craigmillar customers this often saves several hundred pounds: a single failed power management IC, a corroded line from a coffee spill, or a bad GPU solder joint can frequently be fixed for £100–250 vs. £700–1,200 for a logic board swap. We diagnose with a microscope and thermal camera, quote honestly, and only proceed if the repair makes financial sense.
