Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about macbook charging port repair and our shop policies.

How do I know if my MacBook needs a $180–$250 port swap vs. a $250–$500 motherboard circuit repair?

If your USB-C or MagSafe cable feels loose, has bent or burnt pins inside the port, or only works on one side, it typically just needs a modular USB-C or MagSafe port board replacement ($180–$250, 24–48 hours average). If all ports look pristine inside but the Mac refuses to recognize any charger, the motherboard's USB-C power controller circuit (CD3215/CD3217) likely failed. Learn how we test these circuits in our MacBook Not Charging & USB-C Controller Guide.

How does pricing work if the issue turns out to be on the motherboard instead of the port?

Standard modular port swaps ($180–$250) are No Fix, No Fee. If testing reveals the motherboard charging circuit is blown, our $150 bench diagnostic fee (2–24 hours) applies and is 100% credited toward the $250–$500 motherboard charging circuit repair (2–6 weeks average).

Will fixing my MacBook's charging port or power circuit erase my files?

No. Both modular port replacements and component-level motherboard charging repairs preserve your original logic board and SSD data 100%.

What warranty covers a MacBook USB-C or MagSafe port replacement?

Modular USB-C daughterboard and MagSafe 3 port replacements are backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty against component defects (excluding future physical cord-yank damage or liquid spills).
