Common Repairs
Here are some of the most common repairs that we provide for your iMac or MacBook
System Freezing
As different as they may be, Apple’s iMac and MacBook computers share very similar characteristics in terms of architecture and design from both a hardware and software standpoint. Being a company that develops and manufactures its own devices exclusively, Apple has a reputation for producing exceptionally reliable products but that does not necessarily leave them free from problems.
Just like any other type of computer on the market, an iMac or MacBook can slow down and freeze causing major headaches for users. There are many reasons why something like this can occur but no matter the reason, there is no getting around the frustration that comes with it.
Your iMac or MacBook could suddenly lock up and freeze if you have too many programs running at the same time, if your battery is experiencing problems, or if your power supply is failing. Oftentimes, software issues can be resolved by simply powering down the computer and turning it back on again. Temporary information stored in the memory is cleared when this happens resulting in a clean boot and a fresh start so you can pick up right where you left off. System freezing because of power issues can be solved by replacing the charger or having a technician replace the battery inside of your MacBook.
Diagnosing a system freezing that is not directly related to temporary memory usage and that cannot be cleared up by simply powering the computer down and back up again can be a little difficult. The age, version of its operating system, and specifications for the rest of the hardware in your Apple computer are all factors to take into account when trying to figure out why the system has suddenly slowed down.
An iMac or MacBook that is more than a few years old may not be able to handle a lot of programs and software designed for newer generation models causing them to lag or not respond as quickly or effectively as they should. Not all MacBooks or iMacs can be upgraded to the point that they would be able to run the most current versions of some programs as they were intended so a complete inspection and diagnostic of the system would be needed to determine its full capabilities of it.
With more than 17 years of experience in the industry, Computers Plus Repair Center can quickly and accurately diagnose and present you with options to get your iMac or MacBook working at its fullest potential.
From hardware or software upgrades to repairing or replacing faulty or failing components, our technicians have the skills and expertise to advise you on the best and most cost-effective solution to whatever problem you may be having with your Apple computer.
MacBook Broken Screen
The mobility and portability of a MacBook, be it the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, is what truly sets the technology apart but it can come with a cost. Since it is potentially subject to so much more abuse and wear than an iMac computer, MacBooks are built to withstand a bit more wear but that does not make them indestructible. Half of the computer itself is the display which is also the most delicate component and most likely to sustain damage.
The fragility of the screen is probably the biggest drawback of a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. With MacBooks being manufactured lighter and thinner with each new model by Apple, the number of broken screens coming into the shop at Computers Plus Repair Center is on the rise.
A broken MacBook screen does not necessarily mean that the display is cracked or shattered, however. Distortion in the picture of any kind such as:
- Screen completely black when powered on
- Screen completely white when powered on
- Colored lines running through the display either horizontally or vertically
- Portions of the display not turning on
- The backlight of the screen not turning on
- Image looking faint or pale
If you happen to be experiencing any of these symptoms with your MacBook, the screen itself may need to be replaced. In rare instances, these types of issues can be caused by a cabling issue. The cables connecting the MacBook screen to the motherboard inside the computer can get disconnected, come loose, or even cut so a proper and complete diagnostic by trained technicians is the best idea when trying to get your machine back up and running like new again.

MacBook Charging Issue
As portable as a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air is, more often than not, the computer relies heavily on its ability to charge its internal battery to keep you mobile. The charging system in almost all MacBooks is fairly similar. The charger, the charging port, the system between the port and the battery, and the battery itself all make up its power system of it. Each component in the system plays a crucial role in making it truly portable.
A faulty charger is one of the easiest investigations you can perform to determine a charging issue. If you notice your battery percentage dropping while it is plugged in, not recognizing the charger when it is connected to the MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, or the battery charging too rapidly, the charger could be failing.
Trying a different charger is a very straightforward way of identifying the bad part and may very well get you back on your way. The same results with a new charger would usually require further investigation by a properly trained technician like those at Computers Plus Repair Center.
After having ruled out a faulty charger, the rest of the charging system is brought into question. A damaged charging port or even a bad battery can be the culprit of such problems. The disassembly and testing of the components inside the MacBook would be needed to narrow down which one or combination of them has failed. The testing of the voltage and amperage of the entire power system is a delicate and potentially dangerous task.
Fatal damage to the rest of the laptop or even the user is possible if not tested correctly so it is not recommended to be performed by anyone that is not properly trained. Once successfully identified, the faulty component can be repaired or replaced by a technician and then tested thoroughly again to ensure that there are no other problems.

MacBook and iMac Hardware Issues
Apple computers are designed and manufactured so that the hardware and the software work seamlessly with each other but that does not always mean the hardware will not suddenly stop working or need to get upgraded. MacBooks and iMacs are built with very particular specifications. Oftentimes, certain aspects of these computers are not upgradeable, especially when it comes to the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models. iMac computers have the potential to be upgraded more easily than their mobile counterparts.
MacBook computers can experience many issues and scenarios where the replacement and/or upgrade of certain hardware components is the only option to get them working again but the design and architecture of them may not always permit it. Because of the physical size of the MacBook Air, most of the hardware is built-in and consolidated into the motherboard.
Apple offers the MacBook Air in different storage capacities when the computer is purchased because this is usually not a component that can be replaced or upgraded. Some older versions of the computer do have interchangeable, upgradeable, or replaceable components and one of the best ways to tell is by taking it to a knowledgeable technician.
iMac computers are quite different in this aspect. The larger design of them allows them to have various configurations that can lead to an enhanced experience as the upgradability options are more robust. Hard drives, solid-state drives, and memory are all potential upgrades for most iMac computers.
The scalability of these machines makes the desktop alternative for Apple a sound investment. The fact that so many more of the components inside of an iMac can be replaced and upgraded makes its potential lifespan of it much longer than its mobile counterpart.
In either case, failing hardware inside these machines can be a difficult situation to deal with if you are experiencing issues, you might not be completely familiar with. If you are having problems trying to determine what needs to be done to get your computer up and running again, the technicians at Computers Plus Repair Center have the knowledge and tools necessary to give you a clear understanding, in terms that are easy to understand, and get you back up and running again.
If a MacBook or iMac can be upgraded, our technicians will get you all possible options available with honest advice so you can make a confident and well-informed decision.
