Component-level motherboard repair for Mac devices
No Fix, No Labor Charge*
If we can't repair your logic board, we don't charge you for our labor. You only pay for the diagnostic bench fee and any parts used during the repair attempt.
*Diagnostic bench fee may apply for in-depth component-level testing. Parts costs may apply if used during repair attempt.
What is Logic Board Repair?
The logic board (motherboard) is the brain of your Mac. When it fails, most repair shops will tell you to replace the entire board - often costing $500-$1500+ for the part alone.
At The Mac Space, we perform component-level repair. Using specialized equipment and years of experience, we diagnose and replace the specific failed components on your logic board - often saving you hundreds of dollars compared to board replacement.
Logic Board Issues We Repair
Liquid Damage Recovery
Water, coffee, soda, or other liquid spills cause corrosion and short circuits. We perform ultrasonic cleaning and replace damaged components to bring your Mac back to life.
Learn what to do after a spill →No Power / Dead Mac
Mac won't turn on at all? Could be power management chips, fuses, or other components. We trace the power path to find and fix the failure.
MacBook not turning on? →No Display / Backlight Issues
Mac turns on but no image or very dim screen? Often backlight circuitry or display connector issues on the logic board.
USB-C / Thunderbolt Port Repair
Ports not working, not charging, or causing kernel panics? We repair or replace damaged port controllers and connectors.
MacBook not charging? →Power Management Issues
Not charging, random shutdowns, or battery not recognized? Power management IC failures are common and repairable.
Overheating / Thermal Issues
Mac running extremely hot or throttling? Could be thermal sensor issues or power delivery problems on the board.

Liquid Damage: What To Do
🚨 If You Just Spilled Liquid on Your Mac
- Power off immediately - Hold the power button until it's completely off
- Unplug everything - Charger, accessories, everything
- Do NOT turn it on - This can cause more damage
- Do NOT use rice - It doesn't help and can make things worse
- Do NOT use a hair dryer - Heat can warp components
- Bring it to us ASAP - Time is critical for liquid damage
The faster you get it to us, the better the chances of a successful recovery.
Logic Board Repair FAQ
It depends on the type and extent of damage. Liquid damage caught early has good success rates. Physical damage or extensive corrosion is harder. We'll be honest about the odds before you commit to repair.
Component-level repair requires specialized training, expensive equipment (microscopes, soldering stations, hot air stations, diagnostic tools), and significant time to diagnose and repair. It also involves real hazards - working with leaded solder produces toxic fumes, hot air stations reach extreme temperatures with burn risk, and voltage injection diagnostics carry their own dangers. You're paying for someone who knows what they're doing and is taking on personal risk to save your machine. It's skilled work that few shops are willing to do. That said, it's usually much cheaper than a full logic board replacement.
If we can't repair it, you don't pay for our labor - only the diagnostic bench fee and any parts that were used. We'll discuss replacement options or return your Mac as-is.
Apple Silicon boards have fewer repairable components since much is integrated into the chip. However, we can still repair power-related issues, port problems, and some other failures. We'll assess your specific situation.
