If your screen or external closure is damaged, you’ll have to pay a 99 service fee. I can only say that my experience at Rossmann Repair Group was excellent and significantly cheaper than Apple's option. As many you asked, how much does it cost to replace a 13 inch MacBook Pro screen For a 13 MacBook Pro, the cost is 269. My experience was at a single unauthorized repair shop in New York City, and it doesn't necessarily represent the experience others might have at other unauthorized repair shops around the country, or world.
Should everyone take their broken Mac laptops to "unauthorized" repair shops? If you do wish to replace your battery, Apple charges 129 for battery servicing on 11- and 13-inch MacBook Airs and 13- and 15-inch MacBook Pros not covered by warranty or AppleCare Plus. Only the shell and the display are original.
With liquid damaged Mac laptops, you're essentially getting a new computer - albeit with the same specs as the original - if you go the Apple repair route. AppleCare+ for iMac Pro can be purchased for 169 in the United States, which is the same price Apple charges for its 21.5-inch and 27-inch 4K and 5K iMac models. That way, Apple and its customers have the guaranteed peace of mind that the laptop is fully functional, just as it was when you first unboxed it.īut, Apple's version of "peace of mind" can come with a huge cost, especially since we didn't have AppleCare+.
With that risk in mind, Apple would rather totally replace the logic board, even if it's going to come with a huge price tag. Even if a laptop appears to work properly after a simple minor chip replacement, it's possible that liquid damage could cause problems later down the line.
