Common symptoms

Signs of a faulty motherboard on a Mac

A number of problems may indicate a fault on the logic board. Before diagnosing the problem yourself, a professional microscope test can identify the exact component at fault.
  • MacBook won't turn on
    No reaction to the power button. The power supply circuit, a fuse or the SMC controller has failed.
  • Black screen or visual artefacts
    Black screen on start-up, coloured lines or frozen image. The integrated graphics card (GPU) or display chip is to blame.
  • Charging problem
    Mac no longer charging, MagSafe or USB-C charger not recognised. Often linked to the charging circuit or the USB-C port on the logic board.
  • Overheating & permanent fan
    Fan running continuously, even at rest. A defective component or oxidation after liquid damage causes this failure.

"I suddenly had a problem with my 2011 iMac. A crossed-out circle appeared when I restarted. I went to Apple and was told that the parts no longer existed because the Mac was too old. Not wanting to throw away this little marvel, I came across Mac Repair. The man told me straight away that it could only be the hard drive or the graphics card. Thanks again."

"Excellent service! At the Apple Centre, they had asked for over 500 euros to repair my iMac which wasn't working. They identified the problem and solved it in ten minutes, and for less than fifty euros! What's more, they're nice and friendly! I'd recommend them to anyone!"

"Very good service. The technician took the time to explain in detail the problem with my MacBook Pro and how to fix it next time. The repair was top notch (new processor). If the front of the workshop is discreet, it's because it hides a talented computer specialist."
