Another day of experiencing all four seasons and unpredictable weather. During an evening with a rainbow in East London, we returned a MacBook Pro 16” 2019 with a shorted logic board, and another MacBook Pro 13” 2017 that needed a battery replacement due to a swollen battery.

In London, a MacBook Pro 13" 2020 had a battery issue. Upon opening the device on-site, it was discovered that the battery had been replaced previously. The key issue was that during the previous replacement, the entire packaging film was left attached to the battery and installed directly into the machine. Unsurprisingly, the battery failed due to overheating.

Still don’t really understand why the MacBook Air keeps getting bigger. That’s why quite a few users choose to repair their older Airs and keep using them. In Colindale, a MacBook Air 11” 2013 had its battery replaced and the system reinstalled, perfectly adequate for everyday office and document work.

It was supposed to be just a battery issue on this MacBook Pro 13” 2017 turned out to also involve a problem with the logic board. In the end, both a battery replacement and logic board repair were required, solving both issues at once. Many thanks for the owner’s homemade Hong Kong style fried noodles, absolutely delicious 😋.

In Nottingham, a MacBook 12” 2017 had a failed battery and wouldn’t even power on. The very kind owner was willing to drive down and meet at a convenient halfway point for both of us, where the battery replacement was completed on the spot.

In Wokingham, a MacBook Pro 13” 2020 has finally reached the time for a battery replacement. The customer came through our online battery replacement service, and the job was completed in 30 minutes. Now the MacBook no longer runs out of battery after just a short while of use.

Never imagined that there would come a day when SSD prices go up. In East London, the owner took advantage of the still acceptable pricing to upgrade his MacBook Pro 13” 2015 to a 2TB SSD, while also replacing the battery and a pair of blown speakers, completing both the upgrade and repairs in one go.
