1. Keyboard

Does the keyboard not work properly?

You may be noticing discrepancies in the keyboard functionality: You press the key Y but instead R is displayed or it does not reflect the key press at all. This is a common problem, as the keyboard is the first place that the fluid affects, if it is flooded, and one of the most common parts. Most of the keyboard problems are caused by moisture or liquid spills.

We can replace the keyboard and fix the problem.

We have most of the keyboards available and in most cases we offer a repair on the same day without having to order parts. We also offer a keyboard replacement for the Retina MacBook Pro; most repairers do not offer this type of repair. Apple has designed one of their laptops so that the keyboard itself can not be replaced, and replacing the entire top of the laptop is very expensive. We replace the keyboard without having to replace the top, which saves you a lot of money.

Apple uses different keyboards for different years of production of the same model, contributing to unnecessary delay and confusion in unprepared technicians. To avoid this, we have most keyboards available from 2008 to today.

2. Broken Hinge

Is the screen not securely attached to the laptop base?

Some of the most physically harassed parts in the laptop are hinges, so they can be easily damaged. Continuous opening and closing of the lid over time can cause problems with hinges. In Repair Stop, we can fix most of the problems with laptop hinges.

The battery does not charge? Are you often left without a battery?

You unplug the charger and your Mac stops working, or it stays on for a short time, runs until it reaches 50% and then shuts off? This is common, as batteries rarely retain the ability to retain a good charge for more than two years.

We can replace the battery with a new one and fix the problem. We have most MacBook batteries available and often offer repairs on the same day without having to order parts. 

4. Track Pad

Does the mouse cursor do what it wants?

You are trying to click, but the laptop does not report it or the cursor does not move properly. This is a very common problem, as the trackpad is a daily part used, resulting in the possibility of premature wear. The trapdoor is located at the front of the laptop, where the eventual flooding with liquid is the biggest defeat. Most track pad problems are caused by moisture or liquid pouring. We offer a

5. Overheating

Are you worried that the laptop is too hot?

If you’re concerned that your laptop heats you much more than you need, bring it to our service for free diagnostics. Every laptop works at different temperature levels, and the activity you use is important for that temperature. For many, it’s hard to know if the laptop really has a problem or the temperature is in the normal range. A hot laptop is not only inconvenient to work with and touch, but also the patching can cause additional problems.
