When Apple Says You Need a New Logic Board, Get a Second Opinion An expensive logic board replacement isn’t always the only solution If Apple has told you that your MacBook needs a new logic board, don’t panic — and don’t assume that your MacBook is beyond repair.

I speak to many MacBook owners who first take their faulty device to Apple, understandably expecting support through their warranty or AppleCare+ if they’ve paid for it. Too often, they leave disappointed — and, in my view, often cheated. Under UK law, consumers have rights beyond any manufacturer warranty. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 protects […]
Genuine Apple MacBook chargers cost around £60–£80, which is why many owners end up using cheaper alternatives. If that’s you, you likely fall into one of two groups: If you’re in the second group, it’s worth checking — now.
