Where’s the shop?

I don’t run a high-street shop—and that’s a deliberate choice that works in your favour. While I could operate a shop, I choose instead to work from a fully equipped private workshop at my home. Traditional shops come with significant overheads: full-time staffing, heating, electricity, cleaning, business rates and rent. On average, a shop costs […]

Inspection: For obvious faults like broken screens or a battery replacement I will quote over the phone and let you know if I have stock so when you drop it off I can get to work and return it to you with minimum delay. For less obvious issues, like a MacBook that wont start, I […]

Does your MacBook get very hot?

MacBooks consume power when running and it dissipates as heat. However, if it gets too hot electronic components fail and so each MacBook has a cooling system to control the temperature of vital components. The cooling system usually consists of a heat sink clamped to the processor and fans to draw cool air into the […]

A damaged charging lead can destroy your MacBook [more than once]

A damaged charging lead can silently destroy a MacBook— and it’s something most people would never think to check. A year ago I repaired a customers MacBook following liquid damage and 2 weeks ago the customer brought it back saying it would not turn on. On inspection I found that this time it was not […]
