WHY IS OUR REPAIR SERVICE BETTER THAN THE REST?

You may be wondering what sets our repair process apart from some other less expensive fixes on ebay.

OUR EQUIPMENT IS STATE OF THE ART.
Unlike most other “repair services” that use heat guns, blow torches & inferior Chinese, light bulb, infrared machines, the equipment we use to fix your computer costs thousands of dollars, is of the highest quality German Black Infrared heating elements and is computerized itself which assures a professional and correct fix for the issue. Most other “repair” services fail again quickly.

WE RE-BALL CHIPS WHEN NEEDED AT NO EXTRA COST
We have all the equipment to Re-ball BGA chips that require this procedure. While most blow dryer “fixers” would not be able to reball or replace BGA chips such as your video chip if their “repair” goes wrong. There is no additional charge for the labor for this service.

6 MONTH WARRANTIES
   Just in case something does go wrong with the repair, we provide you a WARRANTY to fix the same issue for the same unit at no charge except for shipping.

MACBOOKS DO NOT NEED COPPER SHIMS.
SEE BELOW FOR WHY 

FROM TIME TO TIME WE GET QUESTIONS ABOUT THE USE OF COPPER SHIMS IN MACBOOKS. THE QUICK AND SIMPLE ANSWER IS THAT THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY NEVER NEEDED AND USING THEM WILL DAMAGE YOUR LOGIC BOARD, GPU, CPU AND NORTHBRIDGE. APPLE MACBOOKS ARE THE BEST DESIGNED NOTEBOOKS ON THE MARKET. THEIR HEATSINKS ALREADY HAVE COPPER INTEGRATED PADS THAT MAKE DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE CHIPS. THEY COOL THEM PROPERLY. ANY ADDITION OF SHIMS HAS A WEDGE EFFECT AND OVER TIME CRACKS THE GPU, OTHER CHIPS AND WARPS THE LOGIC BOARD. 

WHY WOULD YOU ADD MORE METAL BETWEEN A HEATSINK THAT ALREADY HAS THE BEST METAL MATING SURFACES AND MAKES PERFECT CONTACT WITH THE GPU, CPU AND NORTHBRIDGE? 

ANY ADDITION OF SHIMS DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT THROW OUT ALL THE EXACTING TOLERANCES FOR ALL THE COMPONENTS WHEN THEY ARE PUT BACK TOGETHER. IN OTHER WORDS EVERYTHING WILL BEND AND FLEX WITH TIME AS CONSTANT HEATING AND COOLING STARTS TO BEND AND BREAK THE DELICATE CIRCUITS DUE TO THE ADDED THICKNESS OF A SHIMS THAT WERE NOT DESIGNED TO BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE DEFECT IS WITH THE DESIGN OF THE NVIDIA CHIP NOT THE PERFECTLY DESIGNED HEATSINK FROM APPLE.
