Note: Due to Brexit, it is now cheaper to get replacement parts from China rather than Europe (even tho European parts also come from China). Most of our suppliers have made the change and we have made new contacts, to keep the price down, but in light of recent events (big companies buying up stock that has come direct from China), we are now anticipating issues with the price of parts. It's not something do much about, we have done most of what we can do, we will just have to deal with the implications of the Brexit vote and deal. Until more companies buy direct from China, there may be a fluctuation in the price of certain parts. Especially if larger companies immediately buy up cost effective stock as soon as it arrives.
Batteries can swell, leak and potentially explode, but more often they just loose power, not lasting very long. If you have any of these symptoms we can put your mac right.
Fusion Drives were a good idea at the time, but now they can really slow computers down thanks to virtual memory. Replacing Your Mechanical drive with a SSD drive, can give a solid performance boost.
Always have more memory than you need, better to have it and never use it than not have it and need it. SSD drives have a finite usage life for each byte of information. So having the right memory so that you never need to use your hard drive as virtual memory, will significantly improve your computers usage life.
"Flexgate" issue where the screen has gone dead but the computer still powers up. Unfortunately this is a common issue do to heating and cooling on the data cable. With the heat, we want our laptops to be 'portable' so we can fix your display.
