Frequently asked questions

How much does MacBook repair cost in Houston?

MacBook repair at Houston Computer Repair Experts starts at $79. Screen replacements typically run $149-$399 depending on the model and display type (standard LCD vs Retina vs Liquid Retina). Battery replacements range from $89-$199. Logic board repairs start at $149 for component-level work. Every repair includes a free diagnostic — you know the exact cost before we start. No fix, no fee.

Can you fix a MacBook Pro that won't turn on?

Yes. We diagnose no-power MacBooks daily. Common causes include failed logic boards, liquid damage, dead batteries, faulty charging circuits, and blown SMC/T2 chips. We test the entire power path — charger, charging port, battery, power management IC, and logic board — to identify the exact failure point. Free diagnostic. If we can't fix it, you don't pay.

Do you repair liquid-damaged MacBooks?

Yes. MacBook liquid spill repair is one of our most common services. Coffee, water, soda, wine — we've recovered MacBooks from all of them. The key is acting fast: power off the Mac immediately and bring it in. We disassemble the machine, clean every component with ultrasonic and isopropyl treatment, identify damaged components, and replace what's needed. Success rate depends on the liquid type and how quickly you bring it in. Free evaluation.

Can you upgrade the SSD in my MacBook?

Yes, on most models. Older MacBooks (2012-2017 MacBook Pro, 2013-2017 MacBook Air) have removable SSDs that we can typically upgrade quickly. We clone your existing data to the new drive so nothing is lost. Newer MacBooks with soldered storage cannot be upgraded after purchase, but we can help with external storage solutions and data management. Bring it in for a free assessment.

How long does a MacBook screen replacement take?

Turnaround depends on parts availability. We stock common display assemblies for popular MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models. If your specific panel needs to be ordered, it usually arrives within 1-2 business days. Retina and Liquid Retina displays require the full lid assembly replacement — we handle the entire process and give you a clear timeline after the free diagnostic.

Do you repair iMacs in Houston?

Yes. Houston Computer Repair Experts repairs all iMac models — 21.5", 24", and 27" — including both Intel and Apple Silicon. Common iMac repairs include SSD upgrades (dramatically faster performance), RAM upgrades, display replacement, power supply repair, and logic board diagnostics. iMacs are heavy — we offer on-site service or you can bring it to our Richmond Avenue shop.

Can you replace the battery in my MacBook Air?

Yes. MacBook Air battery replacement is one of our most common services. Signs you need a new battery: drastically reduced battery life, "Service Battery" warning in System Settings, the laptop shuts off unexpectedly, or the trackpad/case is swelling (bring it in immediately if swelling — this is a safety issue). Battery replacements are typically $89-$149 with a fast turnaround.

Do you use genuine Apple parts?

Yes. Houston Computer Repair Experts uses genuine Apple service parts whenever available. For displays, batteries, keyboards, and trackpads, we source OEM or Apple-certified components. We do not use cheap third-party knockoffs that look right but fail in months. When genuine parts are unavailable for older models, we use the highest-quality compatible parts and disclose this before proceeding.

Can you fix an iMac or Mac Pro at my office?

Yes. Houston Computer Repair Experts offers on-site Mac repair across the Houston metro area. iMacs, Mac Pros, and Mac Studios are difficult to transport — we come to you at the same rates as in-shop service. On-site diagnostics, SSD upgrades, RAM upgrades, and OS reinstalls can all be completed at your location. Call to schedule — most on-site appointments are available within 24 hours.

Is it worth repairing an old Mac?

It depends on the repair. A $129 SSD upgrade can make a 2015 MacBook Pro feel brand new for another 3-5 years. A $399 logic board repair on a 2014 MacBook Air worth $200 probably isn't worth it. We give you an honest assessment — the repair cost, the machine's current value, and whether it makes sense. We'd rather lose a repair than sell you one you don't need.
