Located at 937 Victoria Street, Hamilton, we help customers investigate laptop faults, from common charging and screen problems to complex motherboard issues that may require component-level repair.

HP, Dell, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer and MacBook Repair

We welcome repair enquiries for many popular laptop brands, including:

HP Laptop Repair Hamilton

If your HP laptop will not start, has a charging fault or may have a faulty motherboard, professional diagnostics can help identify the cause. We also investigate no-power issues on models such as the HP ProBook 430 G7.

Dell Laptop Repair Hamilton

Dell laptops can experience charging problems, display faults, battery issues and motherboard failures. Testing helps determine whether the fault involves a replaceable part or the mainboard.

Lenovo Laptop Repair Hamilton

If your Lenovo laptop is not charging, will not turn on or has a damaged screen, diagnosis can help establish the available repair options.

ASUS and Acer Laptop Repair

We accept enquiries for ASUS and Acer laptop problems, including power faults, charging issues, screen damage and other hardware-related symptoms.

Apple MacBook Repair Hamilton

MacBook faults can involve batteries, displays, charging circuits, liquid damage or logic board components. Board-level diagnosis may be appropriate for some complex faults.

We also welcome enquiries about Toshiba laptops, Microsoft Surface devices and other laptop brands.

Laptop Not Turning On? It May Be a Motherboard Fault



A laptop that appears completely dead does not always need a new motherboard. The problem may involve a power circuit, charging controller, MOSFET, shorted component or another part of the system.

At AppleFix & Tech Engineers, board-level diagnostics can help investigate these faults. Where appropriate, component-level repair may provide an alternative to replacing the entire motherboard.

For example, our HP ProBook 430 G7 repair video demonstrates motherboard diagnostics, power circuit testing and a MOSFET bypass used as part of the diagnostic process. Such methods are specific to the circuit design and should only be used after proper testing.

No repair can be guaranteed before the device has been assessed.

iPad Pro A2377 Not Charging? CD3217B12 USB-C Controller Repair in Hamilton, NZ @ AppleFix & Tech engineers



 


iPad Pro A2377 Not Charging? Complete CD3217B12 USB-C Charging Repair

Is your iPad Pro 11-inch 3rd Generation (A2377) not charging, even after replacing the USB-C charging port? This real-world repair by AppleFix & Tech Engineers in Hamilton, New Zealand, demonstrates why accurate motherboard diagnosis is essential.

The iPad arrived after a previous repair attempt, but the charging problem remained. During inspection, we discovered a damaged capacitor near the charging circuit. Although we replaced the capacitor, the iPad still would not charge.

Further testing identified the actual fault: a faulty CD3217B12 USB-C Power Delivery (PD) controller on the logic board. Using advanced microsoldering techniques, we replaced the defective controller and successfully restored normal charging.

Common iPad Pro Charging Problems

An iPad that won't charge may have a faulty USB-C port, damaged capacitor, defective PD controller, charging circuit issue, battery fault or another logic board problem. Replacing the charging port alone may not resolve the issue if the underlying fault is elsewhere.

AppleFix & Tech Engineers provides iPad charging port replacement, USB-C charging repair, battery replacement, screen repair, motherboard diagnostics, logic board repair and component-level microsoldering.

MacBook Pro A1707 Black Screen But Turns On: Flexgate Fix in Hamilton NZ

MacBook Pro A1707 turns on but has no display? The screen only worked at ONE angle. Here is how we diagnosed and repaired a Flexgate fault.

MacBook Pro A1707 Turns On But Has No Display

A MacBook Pro came in with a completely black screen. It looked like a dead LCD or a logic board fault, but the machine was clearly alive.

Symptoms

  • MacBook turns on but the screen stays black
  • Amp meter shows the laptop drawing power and switching on
  • LCD is not physically cracked or damaged
  • The display came back at one specific lid angle

Diagnosis: Why the Amp Meter Matters

Before replacing anything, we checked power consumption with an amp meter. That confirmed the MacBook was actually booting, so the logic board was likely fine. Then we carefully moved the lid up and down, and the display suddenly came back at a certain angle. That pointed to a damaged display flex cable, commonly known as Flexgate.

What Is Flexgate?

The display flex cable bends every time you open and close the MacBook. Over time it can crack, causing:

  • Black screen but the laptop is on
  • Screen only working at certain angles
  • Flickering or cutting out
  • Backlight not working

The Fault: Cracked Display Flex Cable

Under the microscope we found a small crack in the flex cable, which confirmed the diagnosis.

The Repair: Donor Flex Cable Microsoldering

Instead of replacing the whole LCD assembly, we took a matching flex cable section from another faulty MacBook LCD, aligned it under the microscope and microsoldered it onto the damaged cable. After testing, the display worked properly again.

Takeaway

If your MacBook turns on but shows no display, or the screen only works at a certain angle, don't assume the LCD or logic board is dead. Check the display flex cable first.
