Charging port and USB-C repair
A charger that has to be held at an angle, a port that has gone loose, or no charging at all from a cable you know is good.
From AED 4491–2 days90-day warranty
A charging port takes more physical stress than any other part of a laptop, and it is usually the port rather than the charger that fails. On most Windows laptops it is a replaceable jack. On a MacBook the USB-C port is soldered to the board, which makes it a board-level repair — and one many shops will not attempt.
What the price covers
- Diagnosis with a known-good charger, so you are not sold a port you did not need
- Port or DC jack replacement, soldered where the design requires it
- The charging circuit on the board checked, not just the socket
- A 90-day warranty on the part and the work
Covers MacBook USB-C and MagSafe, and HP, Dell and Lenovo DC jacks.
How it works
- 1Bring it in, or message us first — the model number is enough for us to tell you whether we hold the part.
- 2Free diagnosis. You get a firm price before anything is opened, and you are free to walk away with the machine as it came.
- 3We do the work, test it, and hand it back with a 90-day warranty on the part and the labour.
Questions we get asked
- How do I know it is the port and not the charger?
- Try another charger of the same wattage. If nothing changes, it is the port or the charging circuit. We check both at diagnosis at no charge.
- Can a MacBook USB-C port be replaced on its own?
- Yes, but it is soldered to the logic board, so it is board-level work rather than a plug-in part. That is the sort of repair this workshop is set up for.
- It charges but very slowly. Same fault?
- Often it is the charging circuit rather than the socket, and sometimes it is a tired battery. Both are checked before we quote.
Not sure this is the fault?
Describe what the machine is doing and we will tell you what it usually means, before you come in. Diagnosis in the shop is free either way.
