Logic board · micro-soldering · Ampang, KL

MacBook logic board repair in KL, at component level, not a board swap.

No power, no display, random restarts, or a charger light that never comes on, on any MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. Free diagnosis, fixed quote from RM500, most board repairs turned around in 1 to 3 days on the bench, and we WhatsApp you the moment it is ready.

  • Free diagnosis

When a MacBook will not turn on, will not charge, or restarts on its own, the fault is usually a handful of failed components on the logic board rather than the whole board. iPRO Ampang is an Apple Certified Independent Repair Provider in Taman Dagang, Ampang, and our bench does component-level repair under the microscope: we find the specific chip, capacitor or fuse that failed and replace that, instead of swapping the entire board for a secondhand or reconditioned one.

This is a bench job, not a counter job. The board comes out of the machine, gets tested against Apple's own schematics, and is repaired with micro-soldering equipment most repair shops do not carry. Most faults are turned around in 1 to 3 days and we WhatsApp you the moment it is ready. It is a fixed quote from RM500 for a straightforward power or charging fault, or a free diagnosis first for anything that could turn out to be a full board replacement.

Common faults

MacBook logic board faults we fix

No power, no charge light

The Mac shows no sign of life at all, and the charger's status light either does not change or stays off when it should confirm a connection. This is almost always a power management or charging IC fault on the board rather than the charger or the battery.

Turns on, no display (GPU)

Fans spin, keyboard backlight comes on, but the screen stays black even on an external monitor. On the affected Pro models this is usually a GPU fault on the board itself, sometimes recoverable, sometimes needing a board swap depending on how far the damage has spread.

Random restarts and kernel panics

A Mac that restarts on its own, shows a grey kernel panic screen, or shuts down under load can point to a board-level power or memory fault rather than a software problem. We test under load on the bench to catch faults that only show up once the machine has been running for a while.

Not charging, charger LED off

If the charger's own light never comes on when plugged in, the fault is usually inside the Mac rather than the cable or adapter. We check the port and its connector first: see charging port repair if the port itself is the issue rather than the board.

USB-C or Thunderbolt ports dead

One or more ports stop recognising anything at all, or work only for charging and not data, while the rest of the machine runs normally. This points to the port's controller circuit on the board, tested port by port before we confirm which one has failed.

Liquid damage corrosion

A spill that reaches the board leaves behind corrosion that keeps spreading and causing new faults for weeks after the machine dries out. We clean the board under the microscope and repair the components the liquid has already damaged; see liquid damage repair for the full process.

Fan at full speed, no boot

The fan runs flat out from the moment you press the power button and the machine never reaches a boot chime or logo. This usually means the board is stuck in a protective state after detecting a fault, rather than the fan itself being the problem.

SSD not detected on soldered-storage Macs

On Macs with storage soldered directly to the logic board, a storage fault can look identical to a board fault: no boot, no disk in Recovery Mode, nothing visible to Disk Utility. If your data has not been backed up, see data recovery before any board work starts.

Repair versus replace: why component-level matters

A full logic board replacement, new or reconditioned, is the fastest fix and sometimes the only option, but it is also the most expensive path and it throws away a board that may only have one or two failed components on it. Component-level repair means testing the board down to individual chips and capacitors, and replacing only what has actually failed.

This matters most on Apple Silicon Macs, where storage and memory sit on the same board as the processor: a straight board swap on these models means a different chip entirely, with your original storage and its data gone unless it was recovered first. Repairing the board you already have keeps your original components in place wherever that is possible.

How we diagnose a board

We start by checking power rails with a bench power supply set to current-limit, which shows immediately whether the board is drawing power normally or shorting somewhere, without risking further damage while we look. A thermal camera then finds any component running hotter than its neighbours, which is usually where the fault is.

From there we work against Apple's own board schematics and boardview files to trace the affected circuit back to a specific component, rather than guessing or swapping parts at random. Micro-soldering under the microscope replaces exactly that component, and we retest the same power-rail and thermal checks afterward to confirm the fault is actually gone before the board goes back into the machine.

Your data on soldered-storage Macs

On any Mac where storage is soldered to the logic board, a board fault puts your data at risk alongside the hardware fault itself. Wherever the board can be safely powered enough to attempt it, we prioritise getting your data off before starting the repair proper. If the board cannot be powered at all, data recovery is a separate, specialised process; see data recovery if getting your files back matters more to you than the machine itself.

Process

How it works

  1. Free diagnosis

    We test your Mac at the counter and pinpoint the fault. No charge, no obligation.

  2. Fixed quote upfront

    You get the final price before any work starts. No fix, no fee.

  3. Repaired on the bench

    After the counter diagnosis, board, liquid, data and desktop Mac work goes to the bench. We WhatsApp you the moment it is ready.

  4. Tested and quality-checked

    Display, keyboard, ports, battery health, Wi-Fi and a full boot test before we hand it back.

  5. We WhatsApp you when it is ready

    Board and liquid jobs take one to three days; you collect at the counter with the warranty on the invoice.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What does component-level mean?
Instead of swapping the whole logic board, we find the individual chip, capacitor or fuse that failed and replace just that part, under the microscope. It costs less than a full board and keeps your original board, storage and configuration in place.
Will you repair the board or give me a new one?
Component-level repair first, wherever the fault allows it. If the damage is too extensive to repair, or the board is simply worn out, a full board replacement is quoted as a separate option.
Will I lose my data?
Not from the repair process itself. On soldered-storage Macs we prioritise getting your files off the board before we start work, wherever the board can still be powered enough to do that.
How long does a logic board repair take?
1 to 3 days for most faults. It is bench work, not a counter job, so the Mac stays with us and we WhatsApp you the moment it is ready rather than have you wait around.
What warranty do I get on a board repair?
3 to 6 months on the specific fault we repaired. If the same fault returns within that window, we fix it again at no charge.
Do you repair Apple Silicon boards?
Yes, on M1 through M4 MacBooks, though the options narrow the newer the design: some faults are still component-level repairs, others need a full board because so much is integrated onto one chip.
What if the board cannot be repaired?
We tell you before any paid work starts, and quote a full board replacement or help you weigh that against the value of the machine. No Fix No Fee: if the board cannot be fixed and you decide against replacing it, you pay nothing, and the Mac is returned to you reassembled.
Is a board repair worth it on an older MacBook?
Usually, if the rest of the machine is in good shape: a component-level repair is normally far cheaper than a full board and gets years more use out of a Mac that is otherwise fine. We are upfront if a particular model is old enough that a replacement makes more financial sense instead.
