The MacBook Pro 16-inch (M1 Pro/Max) arrived in 2021, with a 16.2 inch Liquid Retina XDR, mini-LED display and the M1 Pro or M1 Max chip. It carries 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 largest of the 2021 redesign: the same ports and notch as the 14-inch, with a bigger XDR screen and a heavier body. A2485 is the model sold here.

What this fixes
What an overheating & cleaning actually fixes.
- Fans loud constantly
- Shuts down under load
- Hot to touch
- Performance throttling
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.
The words genuine and Apple certified mean something specific and we only use them when they are true of the part in front of us. Anything else is described as premium aftermarket, plainly.
What the €80 includes
- Full internal clean
- Thermal paste renewed where applicable
- Temperature tested under load
No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.
Diagnostics from €25. A clean-up check is free.
Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Diagnostic
Nothing is opened or ordered until we know what failed. There is no charge for this and no obligation to go ahead afterwards.
You approve the price
You hear the number first. If it is not worth it to you, that is a perfectly good answer and it costs you nothing.
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
We test what we replaced and everything that sits beside it, because that is where a rushed repair shows up.
Back in your hands
Collected from Drumcondra, or returned to your door if we picked it up. Covered for 360 days.
Is anything on the device at risk?
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.
Is it still water resistant afterwards?
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 16-inch (M1 Pro/Max) screen questions.
€80, 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.
Usually same day. 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 16-inch (M1 Pro/Max) is from €25, and you are told the cost before it starts. No additional paid work happens without your approval.
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 diagnostic rather than waiting, particularly if it is also losing charge quickly.
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.
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.
Card or cash at the counter when you collect. You get a firm price before any work starts.
Saturday 10am to 5pm, Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, closed Sunday. No appointment needed on any of those days.
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.
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.
Yes, and it is worth saying so at the counter, because a previous repair changes where we look first. Bring any screws or parts you were given 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.
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.
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.
