MacBook repairs on Eld Lane

Every Mac is diagnosed first, then quoted:

MacBook screen repair Colchester

A cracked Retina panel, banding, shadows or a backlight that flickers. Some models need just the panel, others the whole lid; either way True Tone and brightness are checked afterwards. Twelve months’ cover — see screen repair Colchester for other devices.

MacBook battery replacement Colchester

A service warning, short runtime or sudden shutdowns. Apple silicon batteries are strongly bonded and removed with care. Guaranteed for a year; more at battery replacement Colchester.

Typing and trackpad faults

Repeating characters, unresponsive keys or a trackpad with no click are fixed using parts for your model year — twelve months’ cover.

Charging problems

No charge at all, charging that drops in and out, or one dead port. The fault may be the socket, the power circuitry or the board, so we test before repairing — a year’s cover.

Liquid damage

Spilled drinks are a leading reason Macs visit us. Shut down, disconnect the charger and head over quickly so the board can be cleaned before corrosion sets in.

Heat, noise and macOS

Hot, loud Intel Macs generally need a vent clean and fresh paste. Stuck updates, restart loops and sluggishness are investigated too, and a fresh macOS install can be done without losing your data.

Intel or M-series — why it matters for your repair

Apple’s own chips changed the inside of the MacBook. Everything sits closer together on an M-series board, and batteries are bonded far more firmly than in Intel machines, so extracting it safely takes time and the correct method.

Screens vary too: some generations let us change the panel alone, others need the whole lid. Identifying your exact model first means the quote matches the work.

An offer based on spec

We look at which chip, how much RAM and storage, and how it’s been treated. Broken Macs are still worth asking about.

Refurbished laptops in Colchester

Two-year warranty

Refurbished machines from Eld Lane come with two years’ cover.

MacBook repair prices in Colchester

A small Air battery costs a fraction of a 16-inch Pro screen, so a fixed tariff wouldn’t help anyone. We inspect the Mac and give one all-inclusive figure and it doesn’t change at collection.

For a rough idea first, use our MacBook repair quote page, or ask at the counter.

MacBooks in expert hands — not a pop-up job

A MacBook leaves almost no room for mistakes: tiny specialist screws, fragile flex cables, strong adhesive and tightly packed boards. Each generation needs its own technique and tools, and nothing leaves until its screen, keys, trackpad, charging, wireless and cameras have been checked.

This branch is run by CrC Repair®, working on Apple devices since 2004 across ten UK shops, so there’s always a real counter to come back to. We are an Insurance Approved Repair Centre. Our quality of repair is approved by the world’s biggest insurance provider.

More on our standards: high-quality repairs.

MacBook repair Colchester — FAQs

Which MacBook models do you repair?
MacBook Air and MacBook Pro from 11 to 16 inches, Intel and M-series alike, plus older Macs while parts are still made. If you’re unsure of the exact year, we’ll identify it from the serial number.

macOS says my battery needs service — what does that mean?
The “Service Recommended” label means macOS has decided the battery is worn. We’ll confirm its real capacity and replace it if needed; on M-series models the pack is bonded firmly, so we take it out slowly.

Will you replace just the screen or the whole lid?
That depends on the model — some allow a panel-only repair, others need the full display assembly. Identifying the model first ensures the quote is accurate.

I knocked a drink over my MacBook — is it salvageable?
Often, if it’s dealt with quickly. Switch it off, disconnect the charger and don’t try to turn it back on. Bring it to Eld Lane as soon as possible so the logic board can be cleaned before corrosion takes hold.

Do you buy used MacBooks?
Yes. We value it on model, chip, memory, storage and condition; accept and you’re paid the same day, or it can be credited against a refurbished laptop. Remember to remove it from your Apple account before visiting. See we buy your devices.

How long are MacBook repairs guaranteed?
Every MacBook repair, including screens and batteries, carries a one-year guarantee on parts and workmanship, as set out on the repair warranty page.

Where can I get my MacBook repaired in Colchester?
At 25 Eld Lane, CO1 1LS, in the town centre by Lion Walk. We’re open 10am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday.
