Apple Repairs

MacBooks

Screen Replacements
  • Due to their complex screen assembly, which integrates the LCD, aluminium housing and glass together, Apple screen replacements for all retina and beyond (late 2012+) MacBooks are expensive.  There’s no way around this reality, but at Lost Electronic we endeavour to offer the best prices possible.
  • Earlier MacBook models, including the unibody models (2009-2012) feature cheaper & simpler screen repairs.
Solid-State Drive / RAM Upgrade
  • It is possible to affordably upgrade the solid-state drives in all retina MacBook models made from 2012-2015, with NVMe storage drives up to 2TB.
  • Affordable SSD upgrades for earlier MacBook models are also available.
  • All storage upgrades we offer include data migration and installation of the latest compatible version of macOS.
  • We do not presently offer storage solutions/upgrades for 2016 and on MacBook models, as their SSD drives are soldered to the logic board.
Battery Replacements
  • Modern battery replacements through Apple are often inordinately expensive, due to their policy of replacing the entire bottom half of the laptop during the repair. This is due to the battery being glued into the chassis with an extremely powerful adhesive.
  • At Lost Electronic, we can safely separate the batteries from the chassis, allowing us to offer cheaper battery replacements. The procedure is still time consuming and somewhat dangerous, so is more expensive than a standard laptop battery replacement.
  • Battery replacements for older models (Pre-2012) are luckily not as complex –  we can offer a direct battery replacement at a great price.

Further Repair
  • At Lost Electronic, we can also clean and replace keyboards & trackpads on certain models.
  • Some MacBook models also have known issues, such as failing graphics chips or capacitors. Other times, just as with any electronics – you can get unlucky. In many cases we can also fix these problems, helping you avoid shelling out hundreds for a new logic board, or thousands for a new computer.

Desktop Macs – all models

iMac Screen Replacements
  • Cracking an iMac screen is one of the most painful moments a Mac user can experience. All pre-retina models (thicker iMacs, prior to 2012) can have screen replacements performed cheaply, but after 2012, the retina models have their screens fitted as one fused part (Glass and LCD), so the entire assembly must be replaced, which is expensive. Regardless, at Lost Electronic we can perform either repair, as per your requirement.
Solid-State Drive / RAM Upgrade
  • Many Mac desktops can benefit from RAM and SSD (storage) upgrades. Many iMacs, even ones sold recently, come with slow, archaic hard drives, or Fusion drives (A hard drive and tiny SSD combined together). Replacing these with a new Solid State drive will make a profound difference to the everyday performance of your Mac. Mac Minis and Mac Pros can also benefit from SSD upgrades.
  • Additionally, almost all Mac desktop computers can benefit from RAM upgrades. At Lost Electronic we can offer these upgrades as required.
Other Repairs
  • We can diagnose and repair almost any aspect of your mac, such as a failing Wi-Fi card, or faulty internal cable.
  • Desktop Macs can also develop logic board faults. At Lost Electronic, we can perform component-level repairs under microscope, replacing faulty chips on boards, in many cases saving you from having to purchase a new Mac.
