macbook pro keyboard replacement
macbook pro keyboard replacement is one of most time consuming repair in the whole macbook repair industry. its not difficult, yet pretty time consuming, since macbooks are designed as whats called unibody style. that means macbook pro keyboard is on the bottom of the laptop. since the casing is reversed. if that makes sense. 🙂 everything has to come out in order to do macbook pro keyboard replacement. and that just takes time and patience on our part!
macbook pro keyboard replacement
why macbook pro keyboard replacement is necessary? usually its because some keys are not working or keys are sticky because of fluids spilled on keyboard. or in some cases keyboards stop working from age. in some cases cats or birds break the keys for their amusement reasons. and so on.
in some cases keyboards stop working because the connectors can become corroded and needs cleaned. but in most cases keyboards just go bad and some keys will stop working.
even though time consuming most keyboards can be replaced same day or next day guaranteed!

a1502 macbook pro 2015 retina screen replacement
a1502 macbook pro 2015 retina screen replacement
everyone praises apple macbooks as if they are the best laptops on the planet! and in some ways they really are! they have hard aluminum shell casings, their screens are amazing, their keyboards are perfect (when they work) and there are many other features that macbooks share that are awesome! as well as the coolness factor, which comes with owning a macbook and sitting in starbucks with it!

BUT just like everything else in life they are not invincible! if you want to break it, it will break! and for the most part, unless macbook is more than few years old. they usually work and run flawlessly! that is, unless humans decide to damage them. purposely or by accident! and main way that macbooks get damaged are two: people either spill some fluids on them or they let them drop from bed, counters, tables, backpacks (ive seen it all). and that causes all kinds of problems.
this is what happened to this a1502 macbook pro 2015 retina screen replacement machine. it was dropped and corner cracked which caused screen to start getting all kinds of lines. but luckily we are here and screen was changed 0vernight! and customer is very happy!

Imac won’t boot hangs midway imac 21.5inch
Imac won’t boot hangs midway 21.5inch
if you see this screen. on an 21.5 inch imac or for that matter on pretty much any imac. it may mean 2 different things usually.
first – the most obvious and most common issue that you might be facing is hard drive failure. all older and also newer imacs still use regular hard drives and regular hard drives tend to fail sooner or later. hard drive failure will prevent computer from booting like that also in many cases. so to find out if your hard drive is ok do this: turn imac off, then power it on and hold option key. that will take you to boot menu and from there you choose to boot into recovery partition.
if your recovery partition is not there. then you turn imac off and turn it back on while this time holding Command+R keys. this will take you to internet recovery option. this way is a little longer. but whichever way you choose the goal here is to go to disk utility and test the hard drive. run first aid and see what it says. so you can find out why your Imac won’t boot and hangs midway.
from there if you get a message in disk utility in red that says your hard drive needs to be repaired. its a good indication that imac hard drive is going bad and needs replaced (hopefully you have a backup!)
if the hard drive passes test and turns out ok however. and still you Imac won’t boot hangs midway. then the issue is different. and that brings us to our point number two!
Second reason why you may see above screen when Imac won’t boot hangs midway. is video chip failure.
it is also a common issue especially on 27 inch imac, but also happens on 21.5 inch imac as well as older 20 and 24 inch that many people still use! graphics chip failure is very common and can be fixed by replacing graphics chip or fixing existing one! and at fastest mac repair and pc repair newbury park we do both! and we do it the quickest and without any hassles to you!

macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466
macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466
at first sight when this lady called us, it seemed that her wifi card was defective and she asked if we can replace it for her. because if you google this problem that is pretty much the answer you will find. so she was calling around people to ask how much would it cost to repair macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466 by replacing the wifi card.
of course much to her surprise many people didn’t even have the replacement wifi card in stock. for few reasons. wifi cards rarely go out, if ever. therefore not a lot of people have them. but we did. we had 2 cards laying around and when she brought the her macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466 in we replaced wifi card with two different cards, yet the problem was still the same.
the actual defect in macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466 was logic board damage. the wifi ic was damaged and had to be replaced. it took 2 days to do the repair and now macbook air logic board recognized wifi cards again with no issues! wooohooo!

this macbook pro came in because someone has closed the lid while the headphones were still laying on keyboard! and ouch! screen cracked all the way through! pretty unfortunate situation!
and the thing about macbook pro retina laptops. unlike the old macbooks the whole top display assembly has to be replaced on these! that makes our repair job easier, but a little higher price ticket to the customer! but the good thing is we still do it cheaper than apple store can!
this repair took less than 24 hours to complete! we had to pickup the screen from supplier!

2015 27 inch imac hard drive replacement- fusion drive failure
2015 27 inch imac hard drive replacement- because of fusion 3TB hard drive failure. this is a second 27 inch imac 2015 we have received this week. both of them same problem. hard drives have failed. now dont get me wrong. the idea of fusion hard drive is great! it is a hybrid solid state (ssd) and regular hard drive so to speak. it stores frequently accessed information on ssd part and the rest on regular portion.
in theory they are great! but apparently they don’t last that long! but then again most drives dont last that long. in this case luckily customer has a backup! so we just installed a new 1TB hard drive and his 2015 imac 27 inch is running like new again!
2015 imac 27 inch hard drive replacement
the trickiest part on these is to un-glue the screen! they are not meant to be open! thanks to apples great design! but we can do it no problem! open it up, switch hard drive, give it a good old dust cleaning and close it back up with doublesided tape!
anyhow have imac or macbook problems call us at 805-585-5535 we are the best at what we do in the whole thousand oaks area!!! or stop by at 3339 Kimber dr. Suite D, Newbury Park, Ca 91320

turn around is quick and guaranteeed to work. no need to buy new logic board at apple store!
I opened my first computer store, after i looked around to notice that people didn't have a proper place to repair their computers at.
It is similar (if not worse)with companies like Geek Squad(Best Buy), Genius Bar (Apple), Asurion(UbreakiFixit). They hardly do any inhouse repairs. Most of their computers get shipped out to manufacturers or other repair centers.
For that reason i was on a mission to change this industry and get computers fixed as fast as I can. So you and your family can get back to their zoom meetings as quickly as possible!
Another reason you should come here is because I fix most of the people's computer in the area anyway. Most just collect them and send them to me or I usually have to take care of their customers because the "other computer geniuses" break something and computer still ends up in our repair shop after that. I'm not saying that I'm perfect. I also make mistakes sometimes or sometimes get overwhelmed and forget something. But that doesn't happen very often. and if it does. It happens because of my own error or accident, not because I'm incompetent nor do i need to hide it by telling you to just go buy anohter computer cause this one is not fixable. Like other people do. I write this, because i really take it personally. And i don't understand why people have to lie instead of telling the person they don't know how to fix it. and just tell them to go look for some other options. I take this service seriously. I love doing it and i love providing nothing less than a truly NO-BS-Excellent service to people who come visit me! hope you will be one of them! Oh yes, and also in my free time i get out of town and shoot landscape photography! feel free to stop by our shop to see my artwork!
