A high number of faults we repair in our workshops, could have been avoided if the equipment had just been serviced.
When you initially purchased your Macbook, you made the decision to purchase the Rolls Royce of Laptops.
Your decision was probably due to the Build Quality of Apple products and their reliability.
To ensure that your equipment runs as Apple intended it to run, its crucial that you have your equipment serviced.
Symptoms highlighting your equipment needing a service
We carry out repairs to all the Macbook and Imac range of Apple products. We also specialise in motherboard repairs to component level, common problems being liquid damaged, dead units (on power).
Every Apple Macbook or Imac (repaired or serviced) by Console Wizard, undertakes
Your Macbook is an expensive item and must be serviced to ensure trouble free use.
Macbooks unlike most laptops, only have ventilation at the REAR of the unit, at the LCD hinge.
If the internal air vents become blocked or you have a fan failure, then this can cause the Macbook to run extremely HOT and ultimately cause damage to the motherboard, which means an expensive repair.
We have seen an increase in failures at our premises due to poor service issues.
A common failure especially with Macbook Pro's is Graphical problems, this is caused when the motherboard runs far to hot and cracks the solder underneath the Graphics Processor.

In the below example of a Macbook Pro that came into one of our workshops, you can see how clogged with dirt and fluff the ventillation is at the top of the image.
We also find swollen batteries whilst carrying out services on Macbooks.
These the customer normally state that their Macbook doesn't hold its charge anymore or the trackpad is cracked. The reason for the cracking of the Track Pad is due to the battery swelling to some times three times it original size.
This also means the battery is at risk if catching fire or exploding. The battey is checked during the service to ensure its healthy and if a problem is found the customer is contacted as there would be an additonal charge for the battery replacement.

We would recommend to ensure your Macbook or Imac runs optimately, its crucial that you have your equipment serviced. A service takes approx 2 hours, so if you are local to our premises and dropped in off in the morning, it would be ready for collection later that day.
Due to the increase in faults that could have been avoided, we felt the need to raise this Blog to bring it to the attention of Macbook, Imac owners and even general Laptop and PC's, how important having your equipment serviced truly is.
