Intervention methods

How can you entrust your Mac to us?

Several flexible solutions to restore your MacBook's battery life in complete safety.

Types of faults

Is your battery showing any of these symptoms?

New battery and old battery side by side on a Mac workshop work surface
If you recognise any of these signs, a diagnosis is in order. Our procedure targets the exact cause of the problem to avoid unnecessary replacement.
  • Rapid discharge
    You need to stay connected to the mains at all times, because the power drops from 100% to 0% in a few minutes.
  • Overheating and fan noise
    Your Mac heats up abnormally and the fans run wild, even for simple tasks. This is often a sign of unstable power management.
  • Repair recommended" message"
    The macOS operating system displays this alert in the battery status menu. This is a clear indication that the maximum capacity is insufficient.
  • Battery swelling
    The trackpad becomes hard or lifts up, the lower case deforms. This is an emergency for the safety of your machine and your screen.
  • Unexpected switch-off
    The Mac suddenly shuts down while still displaying 20% or 30% of charge. The number of cycles has probably been exceeded.
Our solution

A secure 4-stage process

For each battery change, we follow a rigorous technical procedure to ensure the longevity and safety of your Apple laptop.

Opening and cleaning

Lower casing removed using special pentalobe screwdrivers, followed by complete internal dust removal (free).

Secure disconnection

Insulation of the motherboard to prevent short circuits when the old lithium-polymer cell is removed.

Removing the old battery

On Retina models, the batteries are glued to the chassis. A special solvent protects the speakers, trackpad mat and internal components.

Installation and calibration

Installation of the new Grade A+ battery followed by a full calibration cycle. The SMC controller is reset to synchronise the actual capacity with the system display.

The engagement of an independent expert Apple

Since 2010, our repair centre has been dedicated to Apple computers. This specialisation guarantees a complete command of each model, from the MacBook Air to the Mac mini.

Photo follow-up of your repair

We can send you photos of each stage of the changeover for total transparency on the state of your machine.

An eco-responsible approach

Replacing the battery extends the life of your device and reduces electronic waste. Old cells are recycled in compliance with European standards.
