MacBook Pro / Macbook / iMac Repair

No Power

iMac or Mac Pro is not turning on at all and showing no signs of life. Or it does turn on but nothing is displayed on the screen.

Fan & Noise Issues

Cooling fan problems, whether loud or noisy. Other strange noises coming from your iMac or Mac Pro that aren’t normal.

Graphical Issues

Problems with graphic/video cards – blank screens, graphic/video corruption, cooling fan issues, other intermittent faults. Display output connections working intermittently or not at all.

LCD Screen Damage

Cracked or damaged iMac LCD screens, dim screens, backlight issues, whether flickering or not working. Cracked front glass panels.

Hard Disk Damage

No boot-up, slow boot-up, sluggish performance, strange clicking noises, intermittent freezes. White screen with a folder icon flashing at boot-up.

Optical Drive Damage

DVD/CD drives not reading or burning discs, drives disappearing from the operating system.

Refurbishment & Service

Refurbishment of your iMac or Mac Pro – a full hardware disassemble and reassemble process, repairing all found issues, as well as a thorough internal dust clean.

Operating System

Low level formatting and re-installation of macOS with all updates and essential software. Data backup/migration services for your existing data. If you’d like to retain your current setup, optimisation and tidy-up of your current operating system.

RAM (Random Access Memory)

RAM doesn’t necessarily improve performance and snappiness, but it will provide extra capacity to run more applications and generally do more at the same time without your computer stuttering on you.

Application software and the World Wide Web, in general, is more intensive year on year, with a simple browsing session consisting of several tabs consuming as much as 2 – 3GB of RAM alone.

Creative software (image editing, audio/video editing, CAD, 3D rendering) will utilise a lot of RAM and serious professionals may find that even amounts such as 16GB aren’t enough to keep things fluent.

Upgrades will be necessary if you’re running a lot of software in one instance, or if your browser constantly has several or more tabs open.

In general, most if not all iMacs are upgradable. Some require specialist dismantling – others have accessible RAM slots without needing to dismantle them.

Hard Disk Drive

If you are running low on storage and require more, we can upgrade the hard disk drive for you. If you need to maintain your data and operating system, we can ‘clone’ your current system over to the new drive so the transition is seamless.

Depending on how you’re using your iMac/Mac Pro, we will also recommend better grades of drive if possible, to ensure either high reliability or performance (or both), at a slightly increased cost in most cases.

If you’re a serious user, then we recommend nothing less than using a Solid State Drive. See the option below for more detailed information as iMacs are more involved when it comes to upgrading to SSD based storage or even the existing SSD storage.

Solid State Disk Drives (SSDs)

A very new technology that has matured over the last several years in terms of reliability and cost, this is the most revolutionary of upgrades – the single most dramatic upgrade that will boost the speed of your iMac/Mac Pro many times over – boot time, running speed, snappiness, loading times, multitasking will all benefit. This upgrade deserves a whole page to it – click here for more information.

iMacs independent of age (late 2012 until now) can have a whole host of different drive configurations – it all depends on what was selected at purchase when it was configured by Apple. Your upgrade options will be heavily dependent on this.

For instance, if it was configured to have a hard disk, then you are able to upgrade to certain SSDs with limited speed. These will still be several times quicker than a hard disk, but you won’t be able to utilise newer and faster SSD technology. If you selected your iMac with a Fusion Drive or an SSD, then you have more upgrade options at your disposal, with upgrades to faster and more recent SSD technology. Enquire with us for more information.

Specialist Requirements

Anything else that you may require – audio/video requirements, external audio devices, extra screen connectivity, add-in boards, etc. There will be limitations depending on your iMac or Mac Pro and it’s expansion capabilities but we will be able to let you know of your options after you tell us what you would like to accomplish.
