Repairing the logic board of your MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro/Max A2442 (2021)
Does your MacBook show no sign of life, no longer charge, or stay black while you can hear it start up? Then the fault is often on the logic board. Many workshops replace the whole board at that point or send you elsewhere. We measure the board out, find the one component causing the fault and replace it under the microscope.
This is the model we have on the bench most often. The M1 Pro and M1 Max boards are densely packed, and a short after liquid or a bad charger through MagSafe or USB-C is the classic cause. Because the storage sits on the board and is encrypted, replacing the board means your data is gone; repairing it keeps it there.
What we find most often
- A shorted capacitor on a power rail, often after liquid or a power surge.
- A burnt-out charging chip after a bad or cheap charger.
- Corrosion slowly spreading weeks after a spill.
