A2780 MacBook Pro 16" Repair Atlanta
M2 Pro/Max MacBook Pro 16-inch board-level repair
About the A2780 MacBook Pro
The A2780 is the MacBook Pro 16-inch with M2 Pro or M2 Max chip, released in January 2023. It features a 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display, MagSafe 3 charging, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, and an SDXC card slot. With up to 96GB of unified memory on the M2 Max, it's built for video editing, 3D rendering, and professional workloads.
Despite being a powerhouse, the A2780 can develop board-level issues - particularly no-power conditions where the machine won't turn on or gets stuck at 5 volts. At The Mac Space, we perform component-level diagnostics and repair on A2780 logic boards, targeting the specific failed parts rather than replacing the entire board.
Common A2780 Issues We Repair
No Power / Stuck at 5V
The most common A2780 failure we see. The MacBook won't turn on or gets stuck drawing only 5 volts from the charger. We trace the power delivery circuit to find and replace the failed component - often a single chip or capacitor.
No Backlight / Dim Display
Screen stays black or extremely dim even though the Mac sounds like it's running. We diagnose and repair the backlight circuit on the logic board.
Liquid Damage
Spills cause corrosion and short circuits on the logic board. We perform ultrasonic cleaning and replace damaged components to recover liquid-damaged A2780 boards.
USB-C / Thunderbolt Port Issues
Ports not recognizing devices, not charging, or causing kernel panics. We repair or replace damaged port controllers and connectors.
Battery / Charging Problems
Not charging, battery not recognized, or unexpected shutdowns. Power management IC failures are common and repairable at the component level.
Overheating / Throttling
Mac running extremely hot or performance throttling under load. Could be thermal sensor issues or power delivery problems on the board.

Free Initial Inspection
We assess your A2780 MacBook Pro and discuss symptoms. If it's a board-level issue, we proceed to component-level diagnostics.
Component-Level Diagnostics
Using schematics and specialized equipment, we trace the fault to specific components on the A2780 logic board. Bench fee applies for this in-depth work.
Repair Quote
We provide a detailed quote for the repair. You decide whether to proceed - no pressure.
Micro-Soldering Repair
We replace the failed components using precision soldering equipment, then test thoroughly before returning your Mac.
A2780 MacBook Pro Repair FAQ
Board-level repairs on the A2780 typically start at $350 and vary depending on the type of failure. Simple power circuit fixes are on the lower end, while complex liquid damage recovery may cost more. We provide a firm quote after diagnostics so you know exactly what you're paying before we proceed.
Most A2780 board-level repairs are completed within 5-10 business days. Diagnostics typically take 1-3 days, and the actual repair work depends on parts availability and complexity. We'll keep you updated throughout the process.
Yes. Board-level repair doesn't involve the SSD or storage chips. Your data stays on the machine untouched. On Apple Silicon Macs like the A2780, the storage is part of the chip package, so it's not removed during repair. We always recommend having a backup, but your data should be exactly as you left it.
In most cases, yes. No-power issues on the A2780 are usually caused by a single failed component in the power delivery circuit. We trace the circuit under a microscope to find the exact point of failure and replace it with micro-soldering. Bring it in for a free inspection and we'll give you an honest assessment.
All board-level repairs come with a 60-day warranty covering the specific repair we performed. If the same issue returns within 60 days, we'll fix it at no additional charge.
