Common questions about macbook repair in Sighthill and Wester Hailes, Edinburgh.

Most macbook repair jobs in Sighthill and Wester Hailes 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 EH11 — Wester Hailes Road, Calder Road, Sighthill Loan — and keep you updated by message until the MacBook is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH11 postcode area. That includes Wester Hailes Road, Calder Road, Sighthill Loan, Sighthill, Wester Hailes, the Calders, 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 Sighthill and Wester Hailes: 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.

Several possibilities. Most common for Sighthill and Wester Hailes MacBook owners: a faulty MagSafe/USB-C cable (test with another), a damaged charging port (especially on USB-C MacBooks where the port wears with use), an SMC controller fault, or the battery itself locked into a fault state. We start with a non-invasive test — measuring voltage at the port and the SMC reset — before opening the unit. Most "won't charge" cases are either cable or port, which are economical fixes.
Yes — MacBook battery replacement for Sighthill and Wester Hailes customers, all models from 2008 onwards. Replacement procedure varies by model: pre-2012 batteries are screwed in (easy), 2012–2018 are glued (more involved but doable with proper solvent), 2019+ are glued and require steady hands plus the right tools. We use OEM-grade batteries with proper safety certs and full BMS handshake. Typical turnaround 1–2 working days.
Yes — logic board repair on MacBooks is one of our specialist services, and we do component-level work in-house rather than just swapping the whole board. Sighthill and Wester Hailes customers benefit from this: a failed power IC, a corroded trace, a blown capacitor, or a failed charging chip is often a £100–250 fix vs. an £800+ board replacement. We use proper microsoldering equipment and thermal cameras for fault location.
