iPhone 5C replaced glass/digitiser and completed in the one day.

PowerBook diagnosed & fitted replacement power input board, faulty battery replaced and just need a replacement keyboard now

Difficulty setting up wireless printer was resolved by completing the setup using a fixed USB connection to install all drivers & updates. Then removed cables & finished wireless setup. All good.

MacBook Pro 13″ adware & virus removal completed for client using Adware Medic & ClamXav. Saved all then replaced HD with larger 1TB hard drive & transferred all client data, programs & settings to new drive.

Supplied iPad Mini refurbished plus new lighting mains cable. Found some braided lightning cables from Robert Dyas which do the job admirably and for less than £10.

MacBook Pro 15″ failed battery & failed hard drive. Replaced battery with new and removed HD to recovery station. Unable to recover any data from this drive – sent to HD laboratory who dismantled in a clean room and rebuilt so data could be saved. There was catastrophic damage to one platter of HD and this data was lost but the other 3 platters were recovered including critical data for client.

27″ iMac 2011 went from fractured screen graphics to blue or black screen. Usual signs of video card failure which costs over £400 to replace. Advised client there was a recall on this model & to take to AppleStore who would repair for free. One happy client!

20″ iMac starts up to black screen. Diagnosed failed HD. Hard drive replaced with new and new software installed. Data recovery on original successfully recovered critical data for client and migrated to new HD. OS was terminally damaged on original HD so data migration had to be done manually including repair and resetting of all file permissions.

24″ iMac to be upgraded to Mac OSX 10.9. Had to upgrade RAM to 8GB, upgrade to 10.6.8 then upgrade software so that all data could be updated ready to transfer to 10.9. Successfully installed 10.9 & migrated all data.

15″ MacBook Pro Unibody i7 upgrade RAM & replace failing HD. Permanent errors on hard drive but managed to repair temporarily and recover all data. 2 x 4G RAM fitted, new drive & data recovery completed. NB we have software to test integrity of drives in more detail than Apple’s Disk Utility. Sometimes a pass in Disk Utility does not mean the disk is OK as experienced by this client. Symptoms are slow performance and poor data transfer speeds.

Excellent service at a reasonable price – problem sorted and data recovered after failed disk drive in my MacPro – would unhesitatingly recommend Appel as ‘the people’ to visit when problems arise with any Mac

Great to have a guy round the corner who is a very a experienced Apple engineer. Supplied & supported used iMac.

June, Telford, Shropshire

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.

John Dalby, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Having tried to find someone to fix our soggy Apple Mac with no avail, Keith stepped up and did a brilliant job.

Richard, Ellesmere, Shropshire

As always, Keith’s service is amazing. He seems to be on tap with solutions to problems, shortcuts around issues and if all else fails, speedy re-builds and repairs in amazingly short time. Its well worth the hours drive to Appel knowing that brilliant problem solving awaits!

Testimonials

Although I’m now in Edinburgh (so not exactly local anymore) I still wanted Keith to fix my laptop; he was cheaper than anyone up here, and I trust him implicitly. Posting was easy and I had a happy Mac back very quickly. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend & repeat. Even including the safe postage, it was almost £140 cheaper than the local quote I had. 5 stars! Shropshire rocks! MacBook Air replacement of HD plus data recovery & transfer.

Rachel, Edinburgh, Scotland
