These are the repairs we carry out on this model. Where a price is listed it is the price you pay. Where it is not, the fault has to be seen before anyone could honestly quote it, so the diagnostic is from €25.

The devices in this range look similar and do not share parts. Screens, batteries and cameras differ between them, and so do the prices. Open Settings, then General, then About, and read the model number.

Not sure? Identify your model step by step

The device

The MacBook 12-inch, and what it means on the bench.

Every line here changes something about the repair, the price or how long it takes. The specifications that change nothing are in the strip underneath.

Display
12 inch Retina LCD

The panel is bonded glass and OLED in one piece, so the glass and the picture are replaced together. That is why there is no cheaper glass-only repair on this phone.

Charging
One USB-C and headphone

USB-C. A port that has stopped charging is very often compacted pocket lint, so we clean and test before quoting a replacement.

Introduced
2017
Chip
Intel Core M, m3, i5 or i7

What goes wrong

Common MacBook 12-inch problems we repair.

Screen

  • Cracked or shattered glass
  • Black or blank display
  • Green, pink or white lines
  • Flickering or unstable brightness
  • Touch not responding
  • Ghost touch
  • Dead patches

Battery

  • Flat by the afternoon
  • Shuts down with charge left
  • Dies quickly in the cold
  • Glass lifting off the frame

Charging

  • Will not charge at all
  • Charges only at an angle
  • Stops and starts while plugged in
  • Lint or debris in the port

Camera

  • App will not open

  • Cracked camera glass

Back and body

A symptom does not always have one cause. A black screen can be the display or the board, and glass lifting off the frame is usually a battery. We confirm the cause with a diagnostic before quoting.

Asked all the time

MacBook 12-inch repair questions.

Prices for the MacBook 12-inch are confirmed after a diagnostic. Every price on this page includes the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty, and it is confirmed with you before anything is opened. Repairs without a listed price are quoted after a diagnostic.

Most screen and battery repairs are done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait. Anything needing a part we do not have on the shelf, or a diagnostic first, takes longer and we tell you at the counter before you commit.

No. Walk in to 4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3 during opening hours. Booking online takes about two minutes and means we know you are coming.

Open Settings and read the model number. The MacBook 12-inch sold in Ireland is A1534. Without turning the phone on, the thinnest MacBook, with a single USB-C port for charging and everything else, no fan and gold or rose gold options.

Yes, across Dublin, Monday to Friday. We collect, repair, test and return it, usually within 2 to 4 working days, with the same 360-day warranty as a walk-in repair.

You pay nothing. The diagnostic is from €25 and there is no fee if the repair does not happen. If we find something beyond the original fault, we stop and tell you the cause and the price before doing any further work.

Genuine Apple service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. We tell you which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and either way the work carries the same 360-day warranty.

Yes. These are hardware repairs and we do not go into your photos, messages or accounts. We may need your passcode to test the phone afterwards. If you give it to us it goes on the paper docket, which is shredded. It never goes into our system. Back the phone up before any repair as a matter of course.

iMEND is an independent repair service. Brand and model names are used only to describe the devices we repair. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or an authorised service provider for any manufacturer.

How it works

Three steps, no guesswork.

Tell us what is wrong

Book online in about two minutes, or walk in to Drumcondra without an appointment. Either way you get a price before anything is opened.

Takes two minutes

Diagnostic from €25 first

We find the actual fault rather than swapping the easiest part. If the real problem is cheaper than you feared, that is what you pay.

No charge to look

Repaired and tested

Fitted, bench-tested end to end, and back in your hands with a 360-day warranty on parts and workmanship.

360-day warranty
Why bring it here

An independent workshop, not a kiosk.

We are a dedicated repair bench in Dublin 3. That means we take on work authorised channels turn away, and we tell you honestly when something is not worth fixing.

Diagnosed, not guessed

Every device is tested before we quote, so you are not paying for a part that was never the problem.

Parts that last

Genuine or OEM-grade components chosen for your model. We tell you which is going in before we start.

Your data stays yours

Hardware-only repairs. We never read, copy or move anything on your device.

No fix, no fee

If we cannot repair it, there is nothing to pay. Diagnostics from €25, no handling charge.
