Our Logic Board Repair Process
We take a thorough, professional approach to component-level board repair. Your MacBook isn't working - here's how we bring it back to life:
- Free Diagnostic: First, we diagnose your MacBook to confirm the logic board is the culprit and identify exactly what's wrong. We'll also check other components (battery, etc.) to ensure there are no surprises. After diagnosis, we provide a firm quote (within the pricing range above) and get your approval to proceed.
- Board Repair & Component Replacement: Our technicians then get to work on the logic board itself. Using advanced tools (microscopes, soldering stations, schematics), we pinpoint failed components or damaged circuitry. We replace bad chips, blown fuses, corroded connectors - whatever the board needs - with high-quality parts. For liquid damage, we always perform a deep ultrasonic cleaning bath to remove corrosion before and after repairs.
- Testing in a Complete MacBook: Once the board repair is done, we reassemble your MacBook (we have to have the whole machine for this!). We then test every function: does it turn on reliably? Charge properly? Run on battery? Wi-Fi, keyboard, trackpad, sound, etc. We verify that your MacBook is fully functional and the original issue is resolved.
- Quality Control & Warranty: We double-check the repair under both light and heavy usage to ensure it's stable. Finally, we return your MacBook to you with a 1 Year warranty on the logic board repair. In the unlikely event of an issue resurfacing, you're covered - and even beyond 1 Year, we'll support you as much as we can.
Typical turnaround: Most logic board repairs are completed within 3-5 business days. We keep most replacement chips in stock for fast service. If you need your Mac back sooner, ask us about rush options - we can often accommodate urgent repairs.
Real MacBook Board Repairs on Camera
We pride ourselves on transparency. Many shops won't show you what they actually do - we will. In fact, we've been sharing MacBook logic board repairs on YouTube for years, so you can see exactly how we fix these "unfixable" boards. Check out the playlist below to watch us repair actual customer boards (no scripts, no BS):
Why show our work?
We believe in "show, don't tell." Anyone can claim they do great work. We prefer to prove it. Louis Rossmann (our founder) started the trend of live-streaming and uploading real repair sessions so customers can see the skill and effort that goes into component-level logic board repair. It's educational and assures you that when we say we fixed something, we actually did the work.
You'll see us diagnose issues, replace chips, and bring dead MacBooks back to life. No camera tricks - just honest repair. It's one reason we have a loyal following and why so many Apple Store "unrepairable" cases end up at our door. Feel free to watch and learn!
Why Choose Rossmann for Logic Board Repair?
We know you have options, so what makes Rossmann Repair Group different? In short: we actually fix what others won't. We built our reputation on component-level logic board repair, and we treat our customers honestly. Here are a few reasons people from around the world trust us with their MacBooks:
Permanent Solutions, Not Band-Aids
We fix the root cause of your board's failure. That's why we confidently offer a 1 Year warranty. We're not just temporarily getting your Mac to turn on; we aim for a lasting repair. No "warranty ends, problem returns" nonsense here.
No Parts Swapping or Upsells
Some shops will take advantage of a dead MacBook by upselling other parts or even stealing components (since you can't turn it on to check). We never do that. We stock all necessary chips and parts, so we have no need to scavenge from your machine. You get back exactly what you sent us - except now it works.
Mail-In or Walk-In, Nationwide
Whether you're around the corner in Austin or across the country (or overseas!), our service is available to you. Locals can visit our store for a face-to-face experience. Not local? No problem - our mail-in process is easy, and we successfully repair devices shipped to us from all over the world.
Chips & Parts in-stock!
We use top-quality components for your repair. Many of the chips on a Mac logic board (power controllers, drivers, etc.) are made by third-party manufacturers - not Apple - and are readily available. We source genuine parts equivalent to or better than the originals. No sketchy knockoffs that compromise your Mac's longevity.
Guaranteed Workmanship
We stand behind our repairs with a 1 Year warranty. If the same issue comes back within 3 months, we'll fix it again free of charge. Our goal is to make sure your MacBook stays working. And even after 1 Year, we're here to support you - our customer service doesn't expire.
Trusted Repair Experts
We've been doing component-level MacBook repairs for over a decade and have tens of thousands of happy customers. Our techs have seen it all - there's a reason Louis Rossmann's repair videos have millions of views. When you choose us, you're choosing a team that other repair shops look to for guidance.
The Fine Print
No board-only repairs - send the whole MacBook.
For us to warranty and fully test your repair, we need the entire laptop, not just the bare logic board. When people send only the board, inevitably something else ends up being an issue (cables, components, etc.) once it's back in their machine. By sending the complete MacBook, we can assemble and verify everything works before returning it to you. We do not offer warranty on board-only jobs.
No 2011 GPU repairs, no models older than 2008.
The infamous 2011 MacBook Pro GPU failure cannot be permanently fixed - replacement graphics chips are either unavailable or just as failure-prone. We do not service this particular issue. Additionally, very old Mac models (original 2008 MacBook Air, 2006-2008 plastic MacBooks, etc.) are often not economical to repair due to part scarcity. If you're unsure about your model, feel free to contact us and we'll let you know if we can help.
MacBook Logic Board Repair FAQ
Can you repair a liquid-damaged MacBook logic board?
Yes - we specialize in fixing liquid damage. We ultrasonically clean the board to remove corrosion, replace any damaged components, and restore functionality. Most liquid-damaged MacBook boards (especially from spills) can be repaired successfully unless the damage is extremely severe (burnt multiple layers, etc.). Our success rate on liquid spills is very high.
Do I need to send the entire laptop for logic board repair?
Yes. We require the complete MacBook (not just the bare board) for repair. This allows us to test the machine fully after we fix the board. If you send only the board, we can't verify everything in your MacBook works, and we wouldn't be able to warranty the repair. Sending the whole laptop ensures you get it back ready to go with no surprise issues.
How much does MacBook logic board repair cost?
Most logic board repairs fall between $200 and $600 total. Older MacBook models (2015 and earlier) tend to be $200-$325, while 2019+ Touchbar models are usually $425-$600 due to their complexity. This flat-rate covers all board-level parts and labor. You only pay this fee if we can fix your board - if it's not repairable, you pay nothing.
Will I lose my data if my logic board is repaired?
No, you won't lose your data. Unlike Apple's approach (which often involves logic board replacement and can result in data loss on soldered SSD models), our repair preserves your original board and data. We fix the board itself, so all your files and software stay exactly as they were. In fact, data preservation is a big reason to choose board repair over replacement.
How long does a logic board repair take?
Typical turnaround is 2-5 business days for MacBook logic board repairs. Most repairs are completed within about 3 days. We stock common chips and parts to avoid delays. In rare cases (extensive damage or parts on order) it may take a bit longer, but we always keep you updated. If you need an urgent turnaround, let us know - we offer rush service options when possible.
What if the logic board is not repairable?
If we can't fix your logic board, you owe us $0. No fix = no fee. We can return your MacBook to you (you'd just cover return shipping if applicable), or we can discuss alternative solutions like board replacement. But we won't charge you a diagnostic or labor fee if the board ends up beyond repair. We only charge for successful repairs.
Do you repair the 2011 MacBook Pro GPU issue?
Unfortunately, no. The 2011 MacBook Pro discrete GPU problem cannot be permanently solved due to lack of reliable replacement graphics chips. Any 'fix' tends to be temporary. We do not offer repairs for this specific issue. For those models, replacing the logic board or using integrated graphics only are the common approaches, but a permanent board-level repair isn't feasible.
