Description

We are now offering Logic Board recapping services for your Vintage Mac! The best time to do this is now, while your Mac is still working!

Please keep in mind that all boards are different and the condition and scope of the damage will vary.

Mail in repair estimate – $75. This will be deducted if we get the repair job.

Recapping choices:
$150 for aluminum caps (like the original, but may be rated for more hours)
$200 for Tantalum caps

Professional recapping includes:

• Removing old caps
• Ultrasonic cleaning
• Installing new caps
• Inspecting the board and advising/estimating additional repairs if needed.

There is NO GUARANTEE your board will work at this point. Just that it has been recapped. Leaking caps can cause additional damage.

Troubleshooting, trace repair, chip replacement, and anything else beyond recapping is extra and will be estimated at the $75 per hour shop labor rate. This is also the rate for these same services performed on a board that was recapped elsewhere. Please note that even with an estimate, some issues will not be known until other ones are fixed. Your approval will be needed before any additional repairs are performed.

All Logic Board services are guaranteed for 1 year ONLY on the work that we performed.

Mail in customers – you pay the shipping to get the item(s) to us. They MUST be packaged well so they don’t arrive with additional damage. Return shipping will be added to your final invoice. Please check ahead to see if whole computer or just the logic board is needed so we can test it. In some cases it may be necessary to have the whole computer – we may not have that model in stock.

Please note: If sending the whole computer, there will be an additional $50 minimum (some models will be more) labor for careful disassembly/reassembly, repeat testing added to your final invoice along with shipping. Plastics are brittle in so many models now that we cannot guarantee no case/clip breakage.
