What decides the price of a MacBook repair?

Two MacBooks with the "same" fault can be priced very differently. A few things move the number:

• Your exact model. A 2015 MacBook Air screen and a 16-inch M-series Pro screen are worlds apart in part cost. Newer Retina and Liquid Retina displays are the pricier ones.
• What's actually broken. A loose charging port is a cheap fix. A drop that also cracked the screen and bent the lid is three jobs in one.
• Whether it's a part swap or board-level work. Swapping a battery or keyboard has a set price. A dead logic board needs micro-soldering diagnosis first, so it's always quoted after we've opened it up.
• Liquid. Coffee or water rarely stops at one component. We start with an S$80 chemical wash and a diagnosis, then quote anything else it damaged.

MacBook screen and display repair cost

Screen replacement is the most common MacBook repair we see, and the widest price range. Older 11- and 13-inch models start around S$140. A 13-inch M1 or M2 Air sits near S$250–300, and a 14- or 16-inch MacBook Pro is around S$490–495 because the Liquid Retina panel is expensive.

If only the backlight has failed — the screen works but stays dark, or has a bright bar along the bottom — that's usually Flexgate, a S$150–200 cable repair rather than a full panel swap. We'll tell you which one you're looking at before charging for the pricier fix. Full model-by-model pricing is in our MacBook screen replacement cost guide.

MacBook battery replacement cost

A MacBook battery replacement with an Original Grade cell runs from about S$85 on 12- and 13-inch models to S$105 on the 14-, 15- and 16-inch Pro. If your Mac shuts down at 30%, swells enough to lift the trackpad, or shows "Service Recommended" in battery health, it's time. The full breakdown, plus how to read your cycle count, is in our MacBook battery replacement cost guide. Not sure yet? Read the signs your MacBook battery is failing.

Keyboard, trackpad and charging port

These are the everyday wear repairs, and they're the affordable end of the table. A keyboard replacement is S$130, a trackpad S$120, and a charging port S$85–95. Butterfly keyboards (2016–2019 models) are the ones that fail most — sticky or dead keys after a bit of dust. If your MacBook isn't charging, it's often the port or the cable rather than the board, which keeps it cheap.

MacBook liquid damage repair

Spilled something? Power it off, unplug it, and don't try to charge it — that's when shorts happen. Bring it in fast. We start with an S$80 chemical wash to clean the corrosion off the board, then diagnose what the liquid actually hit. Sometimes that's all it needs; sometimes a component or the board needs more work, which we quote after. The sooner it's cleaned, the better the odds. Full detail in our MacBook liquid damage guide.

Logic board and "it won't turn on" repairs

If your MacBook is completely dead — no chime, no fans, no screen — the problem may be the logic board. These are board-level repairs: we diagnose under a microscope, find the failed component, and micro-solder the fix, which is far cheaper than Apple's flat-rate board swap. Because every board fails differently, we quote after a free diagnosis rather than guess. Start with our guide on what to do when a MacBook won't turn on — some cases are just a drained battery or a bad charger.

Is it worth repairing an old MacBook?

Usually, yes. A repair is a fraction of a new MacBook, and it keeps everything on your drive. The rough rule: if the fix costs less than half of what the same MacBook sells for used, repair it. A S$130 keyboard or S$95 battery on a machine that's otherwise fine is easy maths. The one to think twice about is a major logic board fault on a very old Intel model — sometimes the quote gets close to a good second-hand replacement, and we'll tell you straight if that's the case. Some MacBooks are harder to repair than others, which also factors in.

How long does a MacBook repair take?

Many MacBook repairs — battery, trackpad, charging port, speaker — are done the same day if we have the part in stock. Screens, keyboards and Flexgate cables usually take one to two days. Liquid and logic board work depends on what the diagnosis turns up, so we give you a timeline once we've opened it. We'll never quote a fixed "ready in an hour" and leave you waiting — you'll get a realistic ETA up front.

MacBook repair in Singapore: FAQs

How much does it cost to repair a MacBook in Singapore?

Most MacBook repairs cost between S$80 and S$495. Battery replacement is from S$85, keyboard S$130, trackpad S$120, and screens run from S$140 on older models to S$495 on a 14- or 16-inch Pro. Liquid cleaning starts at S$80 and logic board work is quoted after a free diagnosis. All prices are nett.

Is it cheaper to repair a MacBook than buy a new one?

Almost always. A new MacBook is well over S$1,000, while most repairs are under S$300 and keep all your data. The exception is a major logic board fault on a very old model, where the quote can approach the cost of a good used replacement — we'll tell you honestly if that's the case.

What parts do you use for MacBook repairs?

We fit Original Grade parts for MacBook repairs — components that match the performance of the originals at a fair price — and back every repair with a 30-100 days warranty. As an Apple Independent Repair Provider we also handle out-of-warranty Apple repairs to Apple's standards.

Will I lose my data during a MacBook repair?

No. We don't wipe your Mac during a repair — your files, apps and settings stay put. We still recommend backing up to Time Machine or iCloud before any repair, just as good practice.

Can I walk in, or do I need an appointment?

You can walk in to any of our four branches, open 11am to 9pm daily. Message or call us first on +65 9456 6455 so we can confirm we have your part in stock before you make the trip.
