Macbook Repairs





Macbook "Flex Gate" Repair - $150.00

A very common issue that usually happens on 2016-2017 Macbook Pro models


My price saves you a lot of money v.s. buying a new display which will most likely have the same problem in the future.
If you google "macbook flexgate issue" you will find article after article on this specific issue. The display cable is too thin and short, it will start to crack internally over time everytime the display is opened and closed.

Instead of paying for a new display, I fix your existing broken flex cable that connects your display to your motherboard. This repair requires micro-soldering new jumper wires to reconnect the broken cable traces. This is a permanent fix as the new jumper wires are longer than original cable allowing for flex without breaking again.
Repair time usually 2-3 hours.



Macbook Liquid Damage Repair: $100 - $350

All liquid damaged macbook repairs are for motherboard repairs only


Liquid damage on macbooks are usually all different, no two will ever be the same kind of damage which is why prices vary.
All newer models will cost more to fix due to limited parts availability. Sourcing some motherboard parts can be difficult and most cases will need to be removed from a donor board.

Prices are only for motherbaord issues and do not include any other external parts that may be needed to fully repair the device. If new external components are needed such as new display, keyboard, trackpad, speakers etc. are needed I will contact you beforehand for price quotes.
Parts may not be readily available and may need to be special ordered which can vary in delivery dates from a few days to a few weeks depending on parts location.

All liquid damaged macbook repairs will need 1-4 days for diagnostics / repair on motherboard only. Any additional external components that may be needed can vary from 1-4 weeks delivery time.



Macbook not powering on: $100 - $350


No power on a macbook does not have any specific repair solution. Every macbook will have a different reasoning for it not powering on.
Diagnostics and repair time can vary from 1-4 business days.


Diagnostics / Repair time usually 1-4 business days.




Other micro-soldering repairs





Playstation and Xbox HDMI repair: $80.00 - $120.00

Broken HDMI repair. Please allow 1-7 days for repair.
Any "prior repair attempts" will have an extra fee of $40.00 added to the quote price as prior repair attempts can cause more problems than intended.



Nintendo Switch Repair: $90.00 - $180.00

iPhones with no image after a screen repair: $80.00 - $250.00 (many cases, not repairable)

Usually from long screw damage on the main board. This occurs when the technician replacing the screen on your iPhone mixes up the screws for the LCD shield and over-tightens the screws. The longer screw digs into the main board and causes all kinds of damage to the device because it breaks micro traces in the motherboard internally. This type of repair is usually a NO FIX for me. This is probably one of the hardest repair jobs.


If I can determine that the issues is just a "backlight driver" complete rebuild then I can do the repair. This can happen from old age of the device or impact, but about 40% of the time it is from technician error (e.g. long screw damage).



No power, not charging, etc. - $80.00 - $350.00*

Not charging, battery stays at 1% or 5%, rapid battery drain (1-5% battery drain per minute usually). This is a typical repair job on many iPhones due to aftermarket chargers with incorrect voltage burning out the charging IC chip in the iPhones but can also happen from old age of device.

Many times these problems can also be caused by a repair technician replacing a screen, battery, doing a back glass repair or just any kind of repair on a device.



iPhone front and rear camera not working - $80.00 - $250.00*

Some cases are from liquid damage which burns out a micro filter which controls the front and rear camera. Sometimes this can also occur from impact on the device.



Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S3/S4 Bootloop repair - $40.00

Bootloop repair on these devices are usually caused by a faulty home button module. I can remove and replace your home button module with a brand new part which should fix the problem.

Terms and Conditions:


Diagnostics for micro-soldering motherboard repairs takes a lot of time. I charge a $40.00 diagnostics fee if I cannot repair the device, no exceptions. There will not be a diagnostics fee for successful micro-soldering repair jobs, only the repairs I cannot fix will be charged a $40.00 diagnostics fee.

If a device is not repairable, the customer has the option to donate their damaged device to "Ocean iPhone Repair". If a device is donated then "Ocean iPhone Repair" will waive the $40.00 diagnostics fee no matter the condition of the device.

All successful micro-soldering repairs come with a 3 month warranty, excluding any water damaged device.



** Please note: micro-soldering work requires a lot of high heat from tools to complete a job. Not all devices are repairable and in rare cases high heat can cause further damage to a device. By getting your device repaired through "Ocean iPhone Repair" you agree to all terms and conditions.

Should your device become non-repairable or become further damaged during repair, "Ocean iPhone Repair" will not be held responisble for further damages that may make your device become permanently damaged. "Ocean iPhone Repair" will not reimburse or replace any device for any reason. The customer is fully responsible for their device and/or responsible for replacing their own device at their own expense.

Board level repairs do not come cheap and are not a "quick" repair. It takes special equipment, software and skill to diagnose and do this type of repair. There are only a handful of people in the Bay Area who know how to do this type of work professionally!

Repairs can take anywhere from 2-7 business days to repair and in rare cases 1-3 months. If you cannot wait that long, please do not contact me. I will not do rush jobs for anyone. Some repairs take longer than others and I do them all in the order I receive them.



Prices above are only for "No Previous Repair Attempt" meaning the phone has never been opened by any third party before. 9/10 times when it is a previous repair attempt, I am left with a bigger mess than necessary and many times more damage to try and repair.

I charge more for all "previous repair attempt" jobs (prices are not listed here). Even if it was just a simple screen replacement gone wrong, many times these are the worst types of damages to the phone (long screw damage). Contact me for quote.
