How we fix your Apple MacBook Pro 14" M3 A2918
We trace the fault on the board to the part that has failed, such as a power chip, capacitor or controller. Repairing that part is usually far cheaper than a new board.
Where a board can't be repaired economically, we source a replacement logic board for your Apple MacBook Pro 14" M3 A2918. On Macs with built-in storage, a new board won't have your files, which is why we try a repair first.
How long it takes
Logic board diagnosis usually takes one working day. We give you a price and a timescale before starting.
Good to know: Use your laptop on a hard, flat surface, not on a bed or sofa. Soft surfaces trap heat, and overheating is a common cause of board failure.

Common questions
Is it cheaper to repair or replace the logic board?
Repairing is usually cheaper. We only suggest a replacement board when a repair wouldn't be reliable or economical.
Will my files survive a logic board fault?
Usually, yes. On Apple silicon Macs and other models with built-in storage, your files are on the logic board itself, so a board repair is also the way to get them back.
