Our office at Vanissa Building, Chit Lom
The world generated 62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2024. Apple designed the system that way — sealed units, glued batteries, serialized parts. Every device we fix is one less device poisoning a landfill.
We micro-solder individual ICs instead of replacing entire boards. Same fix, fraction of the waste.
Every replaced battery goes to certified e-waste facilities. Lithium never sees a landfill.
Working chips from donor devices get a second life in your repair. Circular economy in action.

Below you will find the answers to the questions that are asked frequently by our clients.
For MacBook and iMAC part replacements, upgrades and liquid damage cleaning the average repair time is 1-3 hours. For logic board repairs it can be anywhere from 1 day to 3 weeks, or more if you want us to keep trying. Since we have a no fix no pay policy, the difficult repairs go to the bottom of the pile and the easy ones come first. Since we do not charge an hourly rate we cannot keep trying for days to fix one mac, we will try it again when it is not so busy and thus sometimes we need more time to fix it then someone who charges per hour. If you cannot wait, let us know a day ahead and pick it up anytime.
Again, no fix, no pay.
We offer a minimum of 3 month warranty on our board level repairs. Some other items have longer warranty like i.e. hard drives come with a 5 year warranty.
We strongly advise you to always have a recent backup from your device. For some repairs we will have to restore your device and data might be lost. Therefore, make sure to always backup your device, an accident can happen any moment! We are never responsible for your data loss.

If you have switched off your device immediately and not tried to charge or turn on while wet, there is a good chance your device can be fixed by only cleaning. If some IC are short circuited we might need to perform a logicboard repair instead. Our liquid damage repair success rate is about 80%. We warrant all liquid damaged repaired devices for 3 month!
