MacBook Upgrades

Can We Save Your Old MacBook?

If your 2015–2019 MacBook Air or Pro has become painfully slow, the problem is usually the old spinning drive, too little RAM or a tired battery, not the Mac itself. An SSD upgrade from R499, more RAM and a fresh battery from R1,200 can make it feel new again for a fraction of the cost of a replacement.

We’ll assess your exact model honestly and tell you whether an upgrade is worth it, before you spend a cent.

  • SSD upgrades from R499, massive speed boost
  • RAM upgrades quoted per model & year
  • macOS reinstall & full data migration included
  • Battery replacement from R1,200 while it’s open

MacBook Repair FAQ

MacBook Repair Questions, Answered

How much does a MacBook screen replacement cost in Cape Town?

MacBook screen replacement at FixMac starts from R2,500 for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro 13" models, and from R4,500 for MacBook Pro 14" and 16" models. If the fault is only the display circuit or cable, no backlight, flickering or lines, that repair is R849. Every screen repair is covered by our 1-year parts warranty and 6-month workmanship guarantee.

How long does a MacBook repair take?

Most MacBook repairs are completed within 24–48 hours. Screens and batteries are often done same-day or next-day where parts are in stock. Chip-level logic board repairs can take a little longer, and we’ll keep you updated on WhatsApp throughout.

Do you fix liquid-damaged MacBooks?

Yes, liquid damage is one of our specialities. Switch the MacBook off, don’t charge it, and get it to us as fast as possible. An ultrasonic clean of a liquid-spilled keyboard costs R450, and board-level corrosion repair is quoted after a free diagnosis. Board-level work is covered by the same 1-year parts warranty and 6-month workmanship guarantee.

Will my data be safe during the repair?

Yes. We don’t wipe or reset your MacBook unless the repair specifically requires it, and we’ll always ask you first. We still recommend a backup before any repair, and if your MacBook won’t switch on we can recover your data before any work begins.

Is it worth repairing my MacBook, or should I replace it?

In most cases, repairing is far cheaper than replacing. A battery from R1,200 or an SSD upgrade from R499 can make a 2015–2019 MacBook feel new again for a fraction of the cost of a new machine. If yours genuinely isn’t worth fixing, we’ll tell you honestly, and we buy old and broken MacBooks for cash or trade-in towards a certified refurbished device with a 1-year warranty.
