What We Fix on Macs
DC Computers repairs MacBook, iMac, Mac mini, Mac Studio, and Mac Pro computers. Common issues we handle include:
MacBook Screens
Cracked glass, dead pixels, lines, or a display that will not light up.
Battery Replacement
Swollen battery, short battery life, or a MacBook that only runs plugged in.
Keyboard & Trackpad
Sticky keys, unresponsive keys, or a trackpad that clicks wrong or not at all.
Storage & SSD
Slow performance, boot errors, or upgrading to a larger, faster SSD.
RAM Upgrades
Memory upgrades on models where the RAM is upgradeable.
Liquid Damage Cleanup
Spilled coffee or water on your Mac. We clean, dry, and assess the damage honestly.
No Power or Charging Issues
We handle charging port and DC-jack soldering plus board replacement or upgrade. For deeper logic board faults, we will tell you honestly whether repair, a board swap, or data recovery is the smart call. We do not attempt full chip-level micro-soldering.
Overheating & Fans
Loud fans, thermal shutdowns, or a Mac that runs hot under normal use.
macOS & Software
Slow startup, software conflicts, updates gone wrong, and general troubleshooting.
Data Recovery
Trying to pull files off a Mac that will not boot. We will give you an honest read on what is recoverable.
