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 Dunstable, a MacBook Pro 13” 2018 had its screen fail for the second time. Same as last time, the screen was replaced on-site, and once again there was a thoughtful gift — truly appreciated 🙏.

A water-damaged device isn’t necessarily beyond repair, it really comes down to luck. If you’re fortunate, even severe liquid damage can still be fixed. In North London, a MacBook Pro 13” M1 2020 suffered serious liquid damage, but it turned out to be one of the lucky ones. Although the repair took a little longer than expected, it was ultimately successfully repaired.

In West London, a MacBook Pro 13” 2014 with a damaged screen was repaired on-site with a screen replacement. The owner kindly provided some snacks — thank you 😌

For MacBook Pro models from 2012 to 2015, speaker distortion after prolonged use is a common issue. The only solution is to replace the speakers. Of course, if it is just speaker distortion, using headphones or external speakers could be a good choice. However, this MacBook Pro 15” 2015 in Bromley also had a damaged screen, leaving no choice but to proceed with the repair. Both the screen and speakers were replaced on-site, resolving both issues in one visit.

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 😋.

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.
