Built for Florida's Climate and Coastlines
Salt air, storm surges, and summer heat do things to Macs that other states don't. We've been repairing those exact failures for two decades.

Coastal Corrosion Experts
Ultrasonic cleaning for salt‑air and humidity damage
180‑Day Warranty
On every board‑level Mac repair
Florida‑Specific Failures We Fix Every Week
- Salt air and humidity corrosion — Coastal air leaves mineral deposits that bridge traces and eat solder joints. We strip the board, run it through an ultrasonic bath in deionized water, then rebuild damaged traces by hand.
- Lightning and surge damage — Summer storms push surges through the charging port. The usual casualties are the power management IC and the charging circuit — both repairable without replacing the whole board.
- Heat‑aged batteries — Sustained Florida heat accelerates lithium cell degradation. We install calibrated replacements and inspect the charging path while the machine is open.
- Storm and flood water damage — Full teardown, ultrasonic clean, corrosion removal, and component‑level repair. We've brought back Macs that sat wet for days.

What Florida Customers Send Us Most
These four jobs account for the majority of Florida mail‑in repairs we handle.
Coastal Corrosion
Salt air and humidity leave deposits that corrode logic boards from the inside. Ultrasonic cleaning plus hand trace repair brings most of them back from the dead.
Surge Damage
Storm‑season surges kill charging circuits and power ICs. We replace the failed components — not the whole board — and stress‑test the power path afterward.
Swollen Batteries
Heat ages lithium cells fast. We install calibrated replacements and inspect the charging path while the machine is open.
Cracked Displays
Retina and Liquid Retina panel replacement. Mail‑in turnaround is typically 1–2 days plus shipping.

Florida Cities We Serve by Mail
If you're in Florida, we take mail‑in from your ZIP. These are the markets we hear from most.
"Shipped from Key Largo on Monday, got the diagnosis Tuesday with photos, had my MacBook back Friday. Same experience a friend had shipping from Orlando. This is the lab the whole state should be using."
— Carlos R. |Key Largo, FL
Why Florida Mac Owners Use a Mail‑In Lab
Most Florida cities have at least one repair shop that will look at a Mac. Very few have a technician who will actually pull a logic board, put it under a microscope, and rebuild the failed circuit. That's the gap we fill. Instead of swapping an entire board for $800–$1,500 the way Apple does, we isolate the specific failed component and replace it — often for a fraction of that.
The mail‑in model is what makes that practical for the whole state. A single well‑equipped lab in Fort Lauderdale can serve Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and every city in between, because FedEx Ground across Florida is a one or two day trip. You get the same technician, the same microscope, and the same parts inventory regardless of where you live.
How the Process Actually Runs
You start by opening a ticket — either through the mail‑in form or a phone call. We email you a prepaid, insured shipping label and packing instructions. You box the Mac, drop it at any FedEx or UPS location, and track it to our door. The moment it lands, we run diagnostics, photograph the fault, and send you a written estimate. Nothing gets repaired until you approve it. If you decline, we ship the machine back at no cost and you're out nothing but the trip to the drop‑off.
Once you approve, the repair happens on the bench. Most board‑level jobs clear in 24–48 hours. When the machine passes its post‑repair diagnostic sweep, we send a payment link. As soon as payment confirms, it ships back to you via FedEx Ground — free — with tracking the moment it leaves.
What Component‑Level Repair Actually Means
There are two ways to fix a broken Mac. The first is assembly replacement — pull the dead board and drop in a new one. It's fast, it's what most shops do, and it's why a single failed chip can cost you over a thousand dollars. The second is component‑level repair: find the failed part, remove it with hot air and a soldering iron under magnification, and solder a replacement in its place.
Component‑level work is slower, requires real tooling, and takes years to get good at. It's also the only way to keep a Mac's original logic board — which matters if the machine has T2‑secured data on it, since a board swap can lock you out of your own files.
Every Mac Model, Every Generation
We service the whole Mac line — MacBook Pro in every size and generation, MacBook Air from the 2012 Intel models through the current M‑series chips, iMac 21.5‑inch and 27‑inch, iMac Pro, Mac mini, Mac Pro, and Mac Studio. Whether your machine is six months old or eleven years old, we have the parts sourcing and the schematics to work on it.
Warranty and What Happens If Something Fails
Every Mac logic board and motherboard repair carries a 180‑day warranty covering parts and labor — roughly double what most independent shops offer. Windows PC motherboard repairs carry a 90‑day warranty. Other repairs carry a 30‑day warranty. If the same fault recurs inside that window, ship the machine back and we'll cover the return shipping both ways.
Packing Your Mac for Shipping
A few minutes of care on the front end prevents most shipping damage:
- If you still have the original Apple box, use it. That packaging was engineered for this trip.
- No Apple box? Wrap the machine in at least two full layers of large‑bubble wrap.
- Double‑box it. The inner box goes inside a larger one with three to four inches of foam, air pillows, or crumpled paper on every side.
- Shipping an iMac? Protect the display first — that's the part that cracks.
- Strip any cases, sleeves, dongles, or external drives. Send only the Mac and the charger.
- Drop a note inside with your ticket number, name, phone, and a sentence about what's wrong.
- Ship Monday through Wednesday. Packages that sit in a warehouse over a weekend are packages that get shuffled.

Florida Mail‑In Repair FAQ
Do you take mail‑in Mac repairs from anywhere in Florida?Statewide

Customers from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Gainesville, Tallahassee, Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, and every other Florida city ship to our Fort Lauderdale workshop using a prepaid label. Repairs take 24–48 hours on the bench and return shipping is free.
How long does shipping take from my Florida city?Shipping
FedEx Ground across Florida usually lands in 1–2 business days. South Florida (Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach) is typically overnight. North Florida (Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Pensacola) takes 1–2 days. Your inbound label is prepaid and the return shipment is on us.
Can you fix corrosion from humidity or salt air?FL‑Specific
Yes. Salt air and coastal humidity leave mineral deposits that bridge traces and eat through solder joints over time. We strip the logic board, run it through an ultrasonic bath in deionized water, then rebuild any damaged traces and replace corroded components by hand.
Do you handle lightning and power surge damage?Surge
Frequently. Summer storms push surges through the charging port, and the usual casualties are the power management IC and the charging circuit. Both are repairable at the component level, so you usually avoid a full board replacement.
What does logic board repair cost?Pricing
Logic board repair starts at $225. Liquid damage restoration starts at $249 and display replacement starts at $199. Diagnostics are free, you approve the written estimate before any work begins, and every repair carries a warranty (180‑day Mac, 90‑day PC, 30‑day other).
