Our Diagnostic Process

Initial Assessment
We discuss symptoms and examine the device externally for obvious issues.

Hardware Testing
Using advanced tools and board-level equipment, we test power rails, thermal performance, logic board health, ports, battery, and internal components.

Software Diagnostic Scan
We run Apple-certified software checks to identify OS, driver, or performance errors.

Fault Isolation
We determine if the issue is hardware, software, or a combination of both.

Repair Quote & Explanation
We provide a clear diagnosis report, recommended repairs, pricing, and turnaround time.

Repair & Final Testing
Once approved, repairs are completed and your MacBook undergoes full functionality testing before return.
