Told you need a new logic board by Apple or another repair shop? 
Not so fast. TCRS Circuit specializes in microelectronics repair and can fix your existing logic board, for much cheaper than a new board. Often times logic board issues are caused by 1 or 2 chips or components not doing their job. Why throw the whole board out when only a couple out of a few thousand components aren't working? 

Free diagnostics and repair estimates. Always. 

We believe that you shouldn't have to pay to find out what's wrong with your device before deciding to fix it- We will diagnose your machine and call you with a estimate as soon as we know what's causing the issue. 

Liquid damaged MacBook? Lost all hope?  

If you've been looking to get your liquid damaged MacBook fixed, you've probably come across a lot of shops that offer to clean your logic board – this most likely didn’t fix your mac and therefore you thought it was beyond repair. If you visited the Apple Store, you were probably told to get a new computer or told it would cost over $1000 to fix it; this isn’t true. We carry out component-level repairs to get your MacBook up and running! 
Have confidence in your repair with a 1 Year industry leading warranty. 
All MacBook logic board repairs carry a 1 year warranty. If something isn't right, we'll fix it, as long as you are within the warranty period and the failure was in our scope of work. 

How do I send my device in for repair?

It's simple. The first step is to create a new repair ticket so we can get your contact info and know what is going on with your device. You can do that here or scroll down to the "Create a new ticket" option. You can also just click "send in a repair" in the bottom right corner of the screen. All address and relevant shipping info is on the "Create a new ticket" page. After you submit a ticket, package your device and ship it off via UPS or FedEx. We do not recommend you use USPS to ship your device to us. Make sure your device is packed securely. You should have at least a couple inches of bubble wrap or packing peanuts around the entire device. Don't send your device in a box you want back.


How much will the repair cost?

We usually won't know for sure until we see it. It depends on what is wrong with the device and what year/model it is. Most devices we get in need logic board repair either do to random failure or liquid damage. We charge flat rate prices for all logic board repairs based on the year and model which you can view here. Once we get your device in and diagnose it, we will call you with a definite price, however the prices listed on our website are usually pretty accurate as to what you will end up paying.


How long will the repair take?

Usually between 3-7 days for logic board and liquid damage repairs. Some repairs are completed the day the device arrives. Some devices really throw us through a loop and can take longer.


What happens if my device ends up being unrepairable?

We do not charge any repair attempt or bench fees if your device isn't fixable. In the event that your device isn't repairable, or if it doesn't make economic sense to repair it, we'll let you know and send you a invoice for return shipping. We charge $25 for return shipping on no-fix devices.

What we can fix.

No Power

No power is usually caused by a logic board issue, especially after liquid damage. The trackpad or keyboard can also keep the device from turning on if they fail,

Not Charging

No charging issues can be caused by both the logic board or the battery. Some devices are more prone to charging issues after liquid damage due to the location of the battery charge controller on the board. 

No Backlight

Typically with no backlight issues, you will be able to see the screen if you shine a light through the apple logo on the back of the display. No backlight issues are especially common on 2013-2017 MacBook Air devices. 

No Image

No image can be caused by both the logic board or the display itself. Typically with image issues, you will still hear the startup chime, but you will not be able to see a image at all, even when shining a light through the apple logo on the back of the screen. 

Trackpad and Keyboard not working.

On most newer MacBooks the keyboard is controlled by the trackpad. Keyboard and trackpad issues can be caused by a issue with the trackpad and keyboard, or the logic board. 

Liquid damage

Liquid damage is the ultimate nightmare for any electronic device. The good news is, we can fix your device and make it like the spill never even happened! 

Our logic board repair process

Every repaired logic board is extensively tested to ensure it will perform reliably for years to come.

#1

A technician removes the logic board from the laptop and inspects it under a microscope, as well as measures critical power rails and signals to determine where the fault exists. 

#2

After making a diagnosis, the technician will replace any components that are corroded, damaged, or have failed. 

#3

After performing the repairs, the board is run through a ultrasonic cleaner to remove flux from rework, as well as clean corrosion that may exist under large chips. 

#4

A technician will reassemble the device, and will perform several usuability tests, as well as stress test critial components of the logic board such as the CPU and GPU to their max. If a issue is found, the device is returned to step 2 of the process for additional repairs to be performed.
