The MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro/Max) arrived in 2021, with a 14.2 inch Liquid Retina XDR, mini-LED display and the M1 Pro or M1 Max chip. The ports are MagSafe 3, three Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, SD card and headphone and it unlocks with Touch ID in the power button. There is an aluminium frame. The redesign that brought back MagSafe, HDMI and the SD card slot, dropped the Touch Bar and put a notch in the screen. A2442 is the model sold here.

What this fixes
Why people book a data recovery.
- It went in water and there is a year of photos on itUrgent. Corrosion is the enemy of recovery and every day counts.
- It is stuck restartingOften software, and often the best case for recovery.
- The device will not power on and the photos are not backed upThe most common reason people come in for this, and it is often recoverable.
- It boots to a logo and no furtherSometimes the storage and sometimes software. The two have very different odds.
- It was dropped and has not started sinceSay so. Physical damage changes the route entirely.
- It went in waterTime matters here more than anywhere. The sooner it is opened and cleaned the more survives.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely the storage?
Recovery and repair are not the same job, and doing them in the wrong order can cost you both.
IfThe phone is repairable
Repair it first. A working phone gives up its data far more easily and cheaply than a dead one.
IfThe storage chip itself is damaged
Be prepared for the answer to be no. We will say so plainly rather than charging you to find out slowly.
IfThe screen is broken but the device works
Often the simplest case of all. A working device with a dead display can usually be read once it can be seen.
IfIt has been repeatedly powered on since it failed
Tell us how many times. Repeated attempts on failing storage reduce the odds and we would rather know.
IfThe account password is not known
Say so before we start. There are limits to what anybody can do with a device nobody can sign into, and it is better to know that up front.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
What parts do we fit?
Genuine Apple service parts where they exist for the component, and premium aftermarket where they do not. You are told which one your repair uses before you agree to it, and the 360-day warranty is the same either way.
Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your laptop is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.
What the €90 includes
- An assessment of what is recoverable before you commit
- Recovery attempted to a drive or a device you provide
- A clear answer when something cannot be recovered
- Nothing charged for data we cannot get back
You will not find work on the bill you did not agree to. If something else shows up while the laptop is open, we stop and ask rather than deciding for you.
Diagnostics from €25. A clean-up check is free.
If getting here is the problem, we collect and return across Dublin from Monday to Friday. It costs the same repair price and carries the same 360-day warranty.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Diagnostic
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
You approve the price
The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.
The repair is carried out
It stays in the shop. The work is done on our own bench by the technicians who do it every day of the week.
Bench testing
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
Back in your hands
Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.
What happens to what is on it?
Nothing about this repair requires reading what is on the device, and nobody here does.
Testing is a different matter. To prove a repair works we have to turn the device on and use it, which sometimes means asking for your passcode. Say no if you prefer and we will show you exactly which checks we cannot complete without it. Where you do give it, it is written on the paper docket and the docket is shredded. There is deliberately no field for a passcode in our system.
Take a backup before you come in. It is free, it takes two minutes on a device that still works, and it is the one thing nobody regrets having done.
Will it still survive a splash?
After any repair, ours included, work on the assumption that the device is no longer water resistant.
The rating on the box was measured once, on a sealed unit, in controlled conditions. It was never a promise about the device three years later. Adhesive hardens, seals compress and a single drop can break the seal without leaving a mark you would notice.
We reseal with fresh adhesive and it does a real job: rain, splashes and a wet counter are all fine. A submerged phone is not, and we would rather say that plainly than let you find out.
If yours goes near water regularly, say so at the counter and we will tell you what the adhesive covers and what it does not.
The 360-day warranty
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is from €25, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Three ways to get it to us
- Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
- We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
- Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

Asked all the time
MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro/Max) screen questions.
€90, including the part, the fitting, the testing and the 360-day warranty. VAT is included. You get that figure confirmed before anything is opened, and if we cannot repair the phone you pay nothing.
Assessed first, then quoted. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
A clean-up check is free. Any other diagnostic on the MacBook Pro 14-inch (M1 Pro/Max) is from €25, and you are told the cost before it starts. No additional paid work happens without your approval.
No, and anybody who says otherwise is guessing. If the storage itself is damaged the answer can be no. We assess first, tell you honestly what the odds are, and you decide before spending anything.
Not for the data. If we cannot get it back you do not pay for the recovery.
No further than proving the recovery worked. Your data is copied, checked that it opens, and handed over. We do not browse it and we do not keep a copy.
Usually, yes, and where the phone is repairable that is what we recommend. A working phone hands over its data easily. Recovery from a dead one is specialist work and it costs more.
No, and nobody honest will. What we can do is tell you the realistic odds before you commit, and stop rather than make things worse.
Nothing. No fix, no fee applies here as it does everywhere else in the shop.
Yes. We look at what we need to confirm the recovery worked and nothing else, and the device and its copy go back to you.
Turn on the automatic backup your device already has and check once that it is actually running. That is the whole task and it takes two minutes.
Usually yes. Recovery is a separate job from repairing the device, and we can often read the storage even when the device itself is beyond economic repair. Bring it in as it is and do not try to power it on repeatedly, because each attempt on a damaged board can make things worse.
It depends entirely on what happened to it. Failed screens, dead batteries and broken ports do not touch your data at all. Liquid damage and board faults are case by case, and we tell you what we think after looking rather than before.
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.
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.
