MacBook Logic Board Repair in Downtown Chicago

While an out-of-warranty logic board assembly swap at the Apple Store typically runs $800 to $1,500+ (and replaces your soldered storage in the process), our component-level logic board repairs average $250 to $500 (with severe multi-zone reconstruction up to $900). Compare turnaround times, data policies, and pricing tiers in our Apple Store Michigan Ave vs. Independent Repair Guide.

Preliminary physical inspection is free. In-depth bench triage—where we isolate power rails and pinpoint shorted chips under a microscope—is a $150 non-refundable fee (2–24 hours average). 100% of that $150 fee is credited toward your approved board repair quote, and standard repair balances ($275–$500) are covered by our No Fix, No Fee guarantee. If your Mac is stuck drawing 5V instead of 20V, read our MacBook USB-C Power Controller Diagnostic Guide.

Initial bench triage takes 2 to 24 hours on average, and full component-level micro-soldering and board testing takes 2 to 6 weeks on average, depending on circuit complexity and donor IC availability.

Yes. Because we replace only the blown capacitors, MOSFETs, or power controller ICs on your existing logic board, your onboard soldered SSD and encrypted Secure Enclave pair remain untouched.
