Apple swaps the whole logic board: AED 4,000+, and your data is gone. MacTech Pro fixes the failing chip: AED 650–1,459. Same outcome, around 80% less — here's exactly how component-level repair works, priced by model.

Quick Answer
MacBook logic board repair in Dubai costs AED 650–1,450 at MacTech Pro for chip-level fixes — water-damage cleanup, power IC, charging chip, GPU reflow — versus AED 4,000–6,000 for an Apple Store whole-board swap. Same diagnostic, far better economics. We stock all power ICs (PMU, charging, T2, and Apple Silicon M1–M5), repair in 2–3 hours with a live option, keep your data 100% safe, and offer free pickup and delivery across Dubai. The diagnostic is the same as Apple's — just far better economics — though it's worth being honest that only some faults can be component-fixed, which is exactly why we diagnose first and quote before any work.

The reason logic board repair has a reputation for being expensive is simple: most places only know how to replace the whole board — the priciest fix there is, and the one that wipes your data. MacTech Pro prices it the smart way. We diagnose the exact fault, repair the single failed component, and charge you for that, not for a brand-new motherboard. Below you'll find pricing by model and fault, with every power IC and M-series chip in ready stock, live in-front-of-you repair, free pickup and delivery across Dubai, and your data kept safe throughout.
Your exact cost is always confirmed in writing after a free diagnosis, because the final price depends on which component has failed. Note that most Dubai shops can't repair Apple's M-series boards — MacTech Pro is a specialist.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water damage cleanup (no component damage) | AED 650 | AED 4,000+ | 2–3 hrs | Ultrasonic clean + reseal |

| USB-C port controller (port dead / intermittent) | AED 750–950 | AED 4,000+ | 2–3 hrs | Thunderbolt / CD3217 IC |

| GPU reflow (graphics artifacts, Intel only) | AED 550 | Apple won't repair | 2–3 hrs | 2018–2019 Pro 15" mainly |
| Multiple-component water damage (Tier 3) | AED 1,150–1,450 | AED 5,500+ | 2–3 hrs | Deep cleaning |

Liquid damage is where most repair shops give up and most boards get needlessly condemned. MacTech Pro has the only proper setup in Dubai for it: an ultrasonic cleaning machine built for MacBook boards — the first in Dubai — that lifts corrosion out of every via and under every chip, where a toothbrush and alcohol can't reach. Combined with our thermal-imaging camera to find shorts instantly, it's why we recover liquid-damaged boards that have already been written off elsewhere.
If the Apple Store told you your MacBook can't be repaired, you still have options. Apple replaces whole boards and whole units rather than repairing at chip level, and that almost always means your data is gone and the bill is high. MacTech Pro is built for exactly these cases. With advanced tools and every chip in stock, we repair the board Apple rejected, recover your data, and make your MacBook ready again — usually for far less than buying a replacement. If the M-series chip itself is damaged, we replace it and bring the laptop back to life.
Accurate, affordable board repair needs the right equipment — the same kit that lets us find a fault precisely instead of charging you to replace the whole board.
We repair the one part that failed, so you pay a fraction of a full board swap.
PMU, charging, T2, and M-series power ICs (M1–M5) — no waiting, no rush-part markup.
Fast turnaround, or watch it happen — your choice.
Done in front of you; your files are never touched without permission.
One of the best Mac technicians in Dubai, on the newest Apple Silicon boards.
