Is this the right repair?

Book this if you are seeing any of the following on your MacBook Air 13-inch (M3).

  • Keys not registering
  • Keys repeating or sticking
  • Liquid spilled on the keyboard
  • Backlight not working

Not sure, or more than one fault? Our technicians confirm the cause with a free diagnostic before any work starts.

What the price includes

  • Keyboard assembly replaced
  • Full key and backlight test
  • 360-day warranty on parts and workmanship

No additional paid work is carried out without your approval. If we find something else, we explain it and confirm the cost first.

The difference

The bench is in the building.

Nothing here is posted to a depot in another country and nothing is done by somebody you cannot talk to. That is why we can look at a device again the next morning if it needs it.

Repairs others refuse

Board-level work, older models and devices written off elsewhere. Refused is not the same as unrepairable.

A tier you choose

Genuine, service or premium aftermarket, named and priced before you agree to anything.

Nothing read, nothing kept

A repair is a hardware job. There is deliberately no field in our system for a device passcode.

Told when to walk away

When a repair costs more than the device is worth, we say so. It loses us the job and keeps the customer.

Asked all the time

Common questions.

€140 for the MacBook Air 13-inch (M3), confirmed before any work starts. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.

Usually 2 to 3 working days. If a part needs ordering we tell you at the counter, before you commit.

The MacBook Air 13-inch (M3) is recent enough that it may still be in warranty. A manufacturer will not cover accidental damage such as a cracked screen, so that is a paid repair either way, but if the fault looks like a defect we will tell you to go to them first rather than charge you for it.

On most MacBooks the keyboard is riveted into the top case, so replacing it means the top case assembly. It is a bigger job than it sounds and we will quote it plainly. On older models and on most Windows laptops the keyboard comes out on its own.

Bring it in without turning it on. Liquid under a keyboard runs down into the board, and the keys are usually the least of it. The sooner it is opened and cleaned, the more likely it is that the keyboard is the only thing that needs replacing.

4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, D03 FX52, a few minutes from Drumcondra train station and on several bus routes into the city. There is parking on the road outside.

You pay nothing. No fix, no fee covers the diagnostic and the handling, so the only time you pay is when the device comes back working. If a repair turns out to cost more than the device is worth, we tell you that instead of doing it.

That depends on what the device is worth and what the repair costs, and we will tell you honestly when the sums do not work. Turning away a job we could have charged for is the reason people come back.

Usually. A phone that shows nothing is often a phone whose screen is dead rather than a phone that is dead, and the two look identical from the outside. Finding out which is free.

Most of the time, yes, if we have the part on the shelf. That covers common iPhone and Galaxy screens and batteries. Ring ahead on 085 200 1155 with your model if you are coming across the city and want to be sure.

360 days on parts and workmanship. If the same fault comes back and it was not caused by new damage, we repair it again at no cost. Accidental damage, liquid damage after the repair and cracked glass are not covered.

Bring it in and we do it again at no cost, for 360 days from the repair, on the part and the workmanship both. That does not cover new accidental damage, which we will always be straight with you about.
