Macbook Power Concerns

Macbooks, like Windows based laptops, operate on a very specific route of power management. Power is introduced through the charging port, it then travels through power management chips which produce multiple voltages from the 20V in the outlet. From there, it is verified and checked prior to powering the CPU, and begin to charge your internal battery.

Charging Port

The charging port is robust on all Macbooks. From Mag chargers that guide the cable to the port, to USB C, thre are numerous ways to charge your Macbook over the last 10 years. Unfortunately, they aren't perfect. Over time, they will fail, simply due to plugging and unplugging. You may even have dropped your laptop while it's charging, dislodging the charging port. We can fix it!

Power Control Chips

Macbooks need a way to control the 20 volts of power coming in through the charging port. The first power management chips are interacted with to let the SMC controller know that the correct voltage is being sent through. If these fail, your device will not turn on. We can replace these on your Macbook

Battery

Once the charger has communicated with each power management chip, it then begins to charge your battery and power your CPU. If you can't use your laptop without plugging it in, you likely need a new battery. We can replace your Macbook battery for a fraction of the cost of our competitors.

How Long Does It Take To Fix?
