MacBooks can develop faults ranging from liquid damage and charging issues to screen faults, battery degradation, keyboard problems, logic board failures, and software corruption.
At Dead or Alive Technology, we provide diagnostics-led MacBook repairs for home users, students, professionals, and business customers. We work on MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models including Intel and Apple silicon devices where serviceable.
Based in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, we support customers across Glasgow, Edinburgh, the Central Belt, and UK-wide where suitable. Our approach focuses on accurate diagnostics, transparent communication, quality repairs, and long-term reliability rather than guesswork repairs or unnecessary part replacement.
Diagnosis for dead MacBooks, no power faults, black screens, failed startup, boot loops, and intermittent power issues.
Diagnostics for liquid damaged MacBooks including corrosion assessment, board-level fault tracing, and component-level repairs.
Battery diagnostics for poor battery life, swelling batteries, charging faults, sudden shutdowns, and service battery warnings.
Diagnosis and repair for MacBooks not charging, USB-C charging faults, MagSafe issues, damaged charging circuits, and power delivery problems.
Diagnosis for cracked screens, flickering displays, backlight faults, display lines, image distortion, and screen connection issues.
Repair solutions for faulty keyboards, sticking keys, trackpad issues, liquid affected input devices, and unresponsive controls.
Performance diagnostics for overheating, freezing, storage failure, software corruption, fan noise, and ageing MacBook systems.
Advanced diagnostics and selected board-level repair solutions for logic board faults, power rail issues, short circuits, and component failures.
macOS corruption, failed updates, startup issues, software crashes, account problems, and operating system recovery.
We service many Apple laptop models including:

Experienced with MacBook faults including liquid damage, charging issues, battery problems, display faults, and board-level issues.
You receive straightforward advice, realistic expectations, and transparent pricing throughout the repair process.
We prioritise reliable repairs and correct fault finding rather than rushed turnaround or unnecessary replacements.
Standard diagnostics are typically £30 and may be deducted from the repair cost where appropriate if the repair proceeds. Advanced diagnostics, liquid damage assessment, or board-level fault tracing may require a higher diagnostic fee.
Yes. We provide liquid damage diagnostics and corrosion assessment for MacBooks. Success depends on the extent of the damage and how quickly the device was powered down after exposure.
Yes. We diagnose charging faults including USB-C charging problems, MagSafe faults, battery issues, charging IC faults, and board-level power issues.
Yes. We provide battery replacement services for compatible MacBook models experiencing poor battery life, swelling, or charging problems.
Yes. We offer advanced diagnostics and selected board-level repair options for compatible logic board faults and power-related issues.
Repair time depends on the fault, testing requirements, and parts availability. Some repairs can be completed quickly, while liquid damage and board-level diagnostics may require additional time.
