MacBook Air 13-inch (M3) Overheating & Cleaning in Dublin

We quote the MacBook Air 13-inch (M3) after a free diagnostic, because the price depends on what we find. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.

Usually same day. 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 a laptop or console that is almost always dust packed into the heatsink, plus thermal paste that has dried out after a few years. Both are serviceable. Left alone the heat shortens the life of everything around it.

That points at the battery or something drawing current it should not. Worth a free diagnostic rather than waiting, particularly if it is also losing charge quickly.

On older models, yes. On Apple silicon and most recent Intel MacBooks, memory and storage are soldered to the board and cannot be changed. Tell us the model and we will say straight away.

Yes, anywhere in Dublin, Monday to Friday. Tell us where you are and we arrange a time. Outside Dublin we are not set up for collection, so the device would need to come to the shop.

Yes. It makes no difference where a device came from, whether it was bought here, abroad or second hand. Bring it in.

Walk in. We are at 4 Richmond Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and Saturday 10am to 5pm. Closed Sunday. You can also book online and we will confirm a slot, or ask us to collect the device anywhere in Dublin, Monday to Friday.

Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts, and it does not change unless we find something else and you agree to it first.

For common faults on common models, yes, and the price is on the page you are reading. For anything with no clear symptom, liquid damage especially, nobody can price it honestly without opening it, so we do that for free first.

No. These are hardware repairs and we do not open, copy or erase anything on the device. Back it up first anyway, because any device that already has a fault can fail further while it is being worked on.
