MacBooks are popular computers and their use as day-to-day laptops has increased; sales are up in Apple stores and the MacBook Pro evolves every year. These machines, although high performers as laptops go, are still prone to hardware failure. The most common circumstances are simple breakage, where a MacBook repair shop can swap out damaged parts and have the machine up and running again in no time. Apple stores and Apple retailers on the other hand, may take longer. Many Apple Stores will not take on repairs at all, but pass them on to a local Apple repair center. MacBook Pro screen repairs are a common request at the average Apple Store. As with all laptop screens, they are delicate and easy to damage if not cared for properly. Another common item that has to be replaced is the keyboard, due to liquid spills or other abuse. An Authorized MacBook repair shop can make repairs for all of these types of damage and have your laptop back in fully working order with guaranteed workmanship. The Apple MacBook Pro is not known for easy “do-it-yourself” servicing. Like many other modern laptop designs, one wrong move can cause enough damage to make your wallet sting. Motherboard replacements for laptops are not cheap! MacBook repair costs can be avoided/reduced by: Having any necessary repairs made by an authorized MacBook or MacBook Pro repair service provider. Their work is guaranteed and you know it will be done properly. Pay only once for a repair! • Get your MacBook repair performed locally – When the Apple Store sends your machine away, it costs you money and you have no personal contact with the MacBook Repair/Service provider. Local repairs can be more easily tracked. You can also talk to an engineer about your MacBook and exactly what you need, while getting advice at the same time. And, you can often receive a loaner until your MacBook is ready! • Keep your MacBook cool – overheating is a common way to damage batteries and reduce their life. Don’t block the air vent where the fan blows hot air out between the hinges. • Make sure cables are tidy before moving your MacBook – picking up the machine with cables attached can put a great deal of strain on the cable ends/sockets and cause expensive damage. • Don’t put pens or other objects on the surface of the laptop – closing the lid on objects can easily cause broken hinges, keyboards and screens.

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:46:00 -0700 Quick Fixes for Three Most Common MacBook Repair Issues http://apple-repair.posterous.com/quick-fixes-for-three-most-common-macbook-rep http://apple-repair.posterous.com/quick-fixes-for-three-most-common-macbook-rep

Even people who consider themselves the least tech-savvy computer users are likely to say that Apple computers are the most user-friendly and trouble-free machines. All of Apple’s devices receive rave reviews from the industry, which has given them more satisfied customers than any other brand of computer. But even their bestselling laptop - the MacBook - is not immune to certain issues. While it excels in so many important ways, some of these problems might sound familiar to Apple MacBook owners. As one of the few award-winning Apple Authorized Service Providers in the Los Angeles area, and an expert on MacBook repair, we see three common areas where Mac owners tend to have problems. They are with the power adapter, the batteries, and with their laptop unexpectedly “falling asleep”. MacBook Repair Tips for Power Adapters Let’s start with the power adapters. Like any other computer, a defective power adapter can keep the computer from fully charging. Outside of potential power problems related to your own power source or faulty outlets, dirty connectors on your computer’s power adapter are often the problem. It is also possible that the molding on the adapter itself is deteriorating. Try cleaning the power connectors first, but if the problem persists take your MacBook for services at an authorized Apple dealer or MacBook repair service provider. MacBook owners are often eligible for a free replacement adapter. MacBook Repair Tips for Batteries Along the same lines as the power adapter, if your MacBook has a defective battery, it will not hold a charge as long as it should. Checking the battery on a Mac computer is simple. On the top left hand side of your computer screen you will find “About this Mac”. Choosing “More Info” here will let you see the details of your MacBook’s battery life, including its full-charge capacity, cycle count, and overall condition. You may also see a “Check Battery” warning here. Under certain conditions, and when your MacBook is still under warranty, you may be eligible for a free replacement battery. If your battery is okay, but you just want to make it last longer, here is another tip you might hear about from a MacBook repair specialist. • Calibrate your battery monthly using Apple’s online instructions for MacBooks or their instructions for older Mac laptops. MacBook Repair Tips for Sleep Issues Is your MacBook reverting to “sleep mode” when you’re in the middle of a project? Some MacBook users report a problem where their computers unexpectedly lapse into sleep mode, or they will not come out of sleep mode when the start button is pressed. The remedy for this is often closing the lid and reopening, then pressing the power button again. But sometimes it requires the user to hold down the power button long enough to force a restart. For a more complicated MacBook repair, a trip to your Mac repair shop may be necessary to fix the underlying cause of the problem. However, there is one way you may be able to fix it at home – by resetting the computer’s System Management Controller (SMC). Follow these instructions from Apple to reset the SMC. If you are new to the world of MacBook computers, you may think it needs to go back to the Apple store for service. Not true! The best place to get your computer repaired is at an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP). CompuTech offers quick and convenient MacBook Repair Services from the most experienced Certified Macintosh Support Technicians in the Los Angeles area. On the rare occasion that you need a MacBook repair, you can rely on CompuTech to solve a wide range of issues related to hardware and software.
