Expertise

Specialist services for MacBook Neo A18 Pro

The MacBook Neo is a compact device whose RAM (8 GB) and SSD (256 or 512 GB) are soldered to the motherboard. Upgrading is not possible, but repair and maintenance are essential to extend its lifespan.

Battery replacement

36.5 Wh lithium-ion battery glued to the aluminium chassis. After 500 cycles, the range declined. We replaced the battery and recalibrated the energy management system to restore the 16 hours of autonomy claimed.

Liquid Retina screen

13-inch panel with 2,408 x 1,506 pixels, rounded corners and anti-reflective coating. Cracks, coloured lines or spots? We'll replace the entire screen while preserving the factory colour calibration (supporting 1 billion colours).

A18 Pro motherboard repair

The first Mac motherboard with an A-series chip. 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU and 16-core Neural Engine integrated on a single die. Our micro-soldering expertise covers power supply circuits, the USB-C controller and faulty SMD components.

Liquid damage repair

Coffee, water or any other liquid spilt on your MacBook Neo? Deoxidise with an ultrasonic bath within 24 hours to limit corrosion. The slim aluminium casing (1.27 cm) leaves little room for manoeuvre: act quickly.

Data recovery

The MacBook Neo SSD is soldered to the motherboard, making recovery more complex than with a removable drive. Our specialised laboratory will extract your critical files even in the event of a system failure or faulty motherboard.

MacOS Tahoe installation and migration

MacBook Neo comes with macOS Tahoe 26.3. Clean reinstallation, migration from an old Mac via Migration Assistant, or post-update bug fixing. Apple Intelligence optimisation included.

Cleaning and preventive maintenance

Despite the absence of an active fan, dust and debris accumulate around the ventilation grilles and keyboard. Complete internal cleaning and checking of thermal components to maintain optimum performance.

Virus and malware disinfection

Unwanted advertising, suspicious slowdowns or abnormal behaviour? Our diagnosis identifies and eliminates the threats. Complete system clean-up with reinforced security settings and firewall.

Frequently asked questions MacBook Neo

Answers to common questions about repairing and maintaining the new Apple MacBook Neo.

Yes, this is compulsory. Confirmation by telephone, e-mail or online booking with immediate confirmation.

Timetable Mon to Thu 9am to 8pm, Fri and Sat 9am to 12pm.

No. Memory (8 GB) and storage (256 or 512 GB) are soldered directly to the motherboard, as on the iPad. No hardware upgrades are possible after purchase. However, we can optimise software performance with a clean reinstall of macOS Tahoe or a system clean-up.

Yes. MacBook Neo is the first Mac to feature an A-series chip, derived from the iPhone 16 Pro. Its architecture differs from the M1/M2/M3/M4 chips used in MacBook Air and MacBook Pro. Our workshop has been specifically equipped and trained to work on this new platform.

No, the diagnosis is 100% free. We analyse your MacBook Neo, identify the fault and provide a detailed quotation. No obligation on your part.

Switch it off immediately, unplug the USB-C charger and never switch it on again. The MacBook Neo's casing is only 1.27 cm thick: the liquid quickly reaches the internal components. Contact us within 24 hours for ultrasonic deoxidation. The faster the intervention, the greater the chances of recovery.

All our repairs come with a 180-day professional guarantee covering parts and labour. If the problem recurs, a corrective intervention will be carried out within 48 hours.

As the SSD is soldered to the motherboard, the data recovery requires specialised equipment. We extract your critical files even in the event of a motherboard failure, as long as the storage chip is not physically damaged.
