Apple Devices and Repairs 

Apple Devices and Repairs – What You Need to Know

Apple products are known for their sleek design, intuitive interfaces, and powerful performance — but like any technology, they’re not immune to wear, damage, or failure. Whether you use a MacBook for work, an iPhone to stay connected, or an iMac for creative projects, you may eventually find yourself dealing with an issue that requires professional attention.

At Miami Computer Repair, we specialize in servicing Apple devices at both the consumer and professional level. This article covers everything you need to know about common Apple device problems, how repairs are handled, and why professional, non-Apple Store repairs are often the smartest choice.

Types of Apple Devices We Service

We offer expert repair and support for a wide range of Apple products, including:

• MacBook Air / MacBook Pro

Common Apple Device Issues

Apple devices may appear seamless on the surface, but behind that polished exterior lie complex circuits and sensitive components. Here are some of the most common issues we repair:

MacBook Repairs

• Logic Board Failure – Due to liquid damage, faulty power ICs, or short circuits
  
  

• Keyboard Issues – Sticky keys, butterfly keyboard failures, or unresponsive input
  
  

• Screen Damage – Cracks, black spots, flickering, or full backlight failure
  
  

• Trackpad & Touch Bar Issues – Often linked to battery swelling or flex cable damage
  
  

• Charging Port Damage – Especially with USB-C wear over time
  
  

• Battery Swelling – A serious hazard that needs immediate replacement
  
  

• Overheating or Fan Noise – Often due to dust, degraded thermal paste, or faulty sensors
  
  

iMac Repairs

• Startup Failures – Grey screen, no chime, or spinning beach ball errors
  
  

• Hard Drive Failure – iMacs often come with older spinning drives that degrade over time
  
  

• Power Supply Issues – Especially common in older 21.5” and 27” models
  
  

• Display Problems – Yellowing edges, vertical lines, or completely black screens
  
  

• Fusion Drive Conflicts – Especially when upgrading to SSDs
  
  

iPhone & iPad Repairs

• Cracked Screens – Glass/digitizer replacement for touch or display issues
  
  

• Battery Drain – Rapid discharge or poor performance
  
  

• Charging Port Failure – Often due to dirt, corrosion, or wear
  
  

• Speaker & Microphone Problems – Water damage or flex cable issues
  
  

• Face ID / Touch ID Errors – Sensor or motherboard failures
  
  

• Logic Board Micro Repairs – Including NAND, Tristar, and baseband IC replacement
  
  

The Truth About Apple Repairs

While Apple Stores and Authorized Service Providers offer official repairs, they often come with:

• High repair costs
  
  

• Long wait times
  
  

• A tendency to replace entire boards instead of repairing
  
  

• Out-of-warranty refusals (especially for older devices)
  
  

• Data loss due to full system replacement
  
  

At Miami Computer Repair, we take a different approach. We focus on component-level diagnostics and micro-soldering repairs — allowing us to fix the part that failed, rather than replacing the entire logic board.

This saves:

• Money
  
  

• Your original data
  
  

• Electronic waste
  
  

• Time
  
  

Our Specialized Apple Repair Services

Logic Board Repair

We repair or replace failed chips, connectors, and ICs at the board level using hot air rework stations, microscopes, and diagnostic tools — all in-house.

SSD Upgrades (MacBook & iMac)

We clone your old data to a new, faster SSD — perfect for older Macs still using traditional hard drives or slow Fusion Drives.

Battery Replacement

MacBook batteries degrade after ~1000 charge cycles. We install high-quality replacements, ensuring better performance and longer usage.

TCON & Backlight Repair

We can fix dark screens, flickering displays, and image ghosting without replacing the entire display assembly.

Liquid Spill Cleaning

We clean corrosion and repair shorted components due to water, coffee, or other accidental spills.

macOS Reinstallation & Recovery

From fresh installs to data rescue, we handle software-side repairs with care to preserve your documents, photos, and preferences.

Unlike the Apple Store, we offer:

• Same-day and next-day repair options
  
  

• Transparent pricing and honest diagnostics
