Faults and Solutions

Page 3 of 8«12345...»Last »

iPad 2 nightmare repair. When screen was smashed it fractured some internal cables. Playing hunt the fault with a box of new parts was no fun.

27″ iMac (new super slim model)  extended repair time because faulty logic board had 2 faulty RAM sticks as well. All fixed under warranty.

External hard drive dropped. Diagnosed displaced or broken heads. Sent to specialist laboratory for strip down & rebuild in clean environment for best chance of full data recovery.

iMac 21.5″ random advertisements appearing in Safari and running very slow. Adware Medic installed and some rogue software deleted. Restart & run again all clean & good.

Mac Mini Intel completely dead. Replaced RAM, PRAM battery & tested all connections. Logic board fault diagnosed and uneconomic repair.

15″ MacBook Pro returned by Police after robbery. Damage report & quotation prepared for insurance company.

27″ iMac no power & no power light. Checked diagnostic LEDs & found no power output from PSU. Replacement power supply ordered to replace faulty power.

27″ iMac not accepting DVDs. Tried simple clean but had to replace drive.

iMac 20″ & MacBook Pro 15″ both running sluggishly. Removed and binned all  associated files for McAfee & Mac Keeper. Apple recommend NOT to use any virus protection that constantly monitors a Mac and Mac Keeper & associated files are a definite NO NO. Just make sure you keep your OS up to date with Apple’s security updates and if worried download free ClamXav fro AppStore and run once a month or when in doubt. Also checked for Adware using Adware Medic which is a really simple utility & free from adwaremedic.com.

Testimonials

Appel has supplied us with a number of refurbished Macs over the years and

carried out a number of repairs and upgrades, including recently giving a

new lease of life to an ageing (2007) Mac Book Pro 15.  We find the service

is excellent and the computers always work beyond the guarantee period.

MacBook Pro 15” replaced faulty keyboard

 

John Dalby, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

I was very happy that you managed to breathe more life into my powerbook & also make it look pretty again!

Andrew, Designer, Telford, Shropshire

Appel are simply the best. There are so many companies who boast of being Apple specialists and more than happy to charge a small fortune to simply look at your computer… Keith is honest about costs, professional and open about all / any options available. He offers advice for free and always does a great job. What else could you want!

13” MacBook Pro diagnosed & replaced faulty hD IR cable assembly

 

Paul, Stafford, Staffs

We were very pleased we found Keith to fix our broken Mac – it was well worth the drive from Ludlow and a top service! We would come back without hesitation if we have any problems again. We apologise for the amount of dust he had to vacuum out from our computer.. we have it in a clean room now!  iMac replaced HD and data recovery.

Sandra, Ludlow, Shropshire

Thank you for rescuing my iPad Air with a new screen repair. The work was prompt and very reasonably priced.

Chris, Telford, Shropshire

I am very grateful indeed for the help that Keith gave me to strengthen the capacity and velocity of my Mac Mini with the right recommendations. He also managed to answer quite a few of my questions when I popped in. I am much less ‘desperate’ now and confident that i can come back when that is needed.

Mac Mini SSD install & RAM upgrade

Wilf, Oswestry, Shropshire

I had some major problems with the logic board of my MacBook Pro. Apple wanted more than the cost of a new one to fix the problem. Contacted Keith who sorted it all out, replaced the logic board, saved my data and was a great help and all at a more realistic price than Apple quoted. He also changed the screen on my ipod touch which I thought was impossible. Any Apple related problems then Keith should be the first person you contact.  Repair MacBook Pro 15″, temp repair to logic and then replace…

John, Loggerheads, Staffordshire

We got into trouble when one of our desktop Mac’s graphic card failed at a critical time – fortunately for us we knew about Appel. We delivered our machine to them, they fixed it on the spot and we were on our way. Minimum fuss, minimum downtime, no hassle.

Mitch, Wolverhampton

Thanks for the new battery fitted with the ‘while you wait’ service the other day to my laptop. All fine and dandy! MacBook 13″ battery replaced

Paul, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

Very friendly and honest service with no charge for fault finding, I wont use anyone else!

Oliver, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

I was very happy with the service you provided considering the appalling service I received from a previous company with a supposedly good reputation! Your estimate was accurate for what I requested and you were upfront in letting me know that some of the repairs/upgrades may not be possible. Fortunately they were and all for the price you quoted me. Your turn around was very quick considering my high street shop took nearly six weeks to tell me they couldn’t do what I wanted. I would *definitel…
