If you are not accessing any highly visual content, you should turn down the brightness of the system to improve your MacBook’s battery life. You can also increase the battery lifespan by clearing out applications that you no longer use or shut down unused apps.
Switch off the Bluetooth and wifi, when not in use and turn off the backlit keyboard to extend the battery life. Also, check under ‘Applications using significant energy’ and turn off the apps that you don’t intend to use.
Don’t keep a peripheral like a USB or compact disk always connected to the MacBook, since it can significantly affect the battery’s performance and the overall functioning of the system.

It doesn’t matter how careful we are around our laptops and phones, it has become almost inevitable that we break our devices at least once in their lifetime. Not just physical damages, our devices become prone to software glitches with time and this is the point when we have to find the right repairing center to get our devices fixed.

The need for choosing the right Repairing Center

Apple has been bringing perfection to their devices from the beginning. MacBooks are one of the better laptops available in the market but they obviously aren’t immune to hardware or software damages. One of the most common damages in both MacBooks and iPhones is – screen damage. Before AppleCare+, the repair costs of MacBooks were exorbitant. Even the repair of a single key of the keyboard used to cost around $ 400. AppleCare+ has taken some burden off the huge repair bills, but they are still quite high.

A broken MacBook Screen display costs around  $500, which is a huge sum. At AppleFix, experts with years of experience have a fix for any of your MacBook problems. If you are looking for MacBook Air Screen Repair in Hamilton, come to us. We will be happy to fix your device.

Here are a few things to consider before you give in your MacBook for repair.

Don’t play professional
It happens quite often that the victims of a faulty MacBook are confident about the problem their device is facing, which, most of the times, is completely wrong. It doesn’t matter how it looks but just a look at your MacBook can’t tell you the problem and its severity. Once you have a faulty device, leave it to the professionals to isolate the exact problem and fix it.

The price factor
The primary reason for not opting for official Apple repairing services is their ridiculously high costs. In the race of claiming to be the best repairing center, the genuine ones provide you with a price estimate of the repair after thoroughly diagnosing the device, like AppleFix. So, before choosing a service center for your MacBook Air Screen Repair in Hamilton, make sure that the price quote they offer is reasonable.

Reviews and Customer Satisfaction
The best way to judge a repairing center is based on its reputation in the market. Check for the reviews and ratings of a service center before trusting them with the repair of your device. A good MacBook Repair Center has a good customer satisfaction rate and a decent rating online. Opt the one with constant good reviews.

tips on how to enhance the performance of your mac | AppleFix Hamilton New Zealand


Mac is an expensive investment, and you would need to take better care of it to ensure that it functions properly for the most extended period. The hardware, software installed, how you use Mac and how you decide to maintain it, determines how long will your Mac work.

Never assume that every Mac software issue can be solved by just restarting the device. If you observe that your Mac is all of a sudden behaving strangely, bring it to Apple fix. Our team of trained and certified professional will fix any, and every Apple product be it iPod Classic, MacBook Pro. We provide quality and affordable apple repair service in Hamilton.

Although we all know the basics of ways to extend our Mac’s functional life is by keeping it updated, free of virus and in excellent condition, numerous factors affect the performance of your Mac:

HARD DISK:

All the data on your Mac, from documents to program files to photos is stored on the hard disk. The speed and space in a hard drive are the determinants of Mac’s performance. The bigger the area on the hard disk will result in faster execution of the system’s processes and vice-versa.

The speed of the hard disk reading and writing of the material and content happens in the hard disk. Higher the speed of the hard drive, the faster would be Mac’s performance.

CPU:

The speed of the CPU affects how the Mac processes the functions. It is the frequency of which the processor executes instructions.

APPLICATIONS:

When multiple applications are running on your Mac, it will severely impact the memory of the Mac since now it has to support more than one app at a time. Ore the application is running, slower would be the performance of the Mac.

FILE MANAGEMENT:

Remove files that are broken or take too long to read as the Mac has to defragment them which affects the speed of the Mac.

BUS:

Data is transferred from the processor to the other components by a data path, i.e., the bus Mac. Bus width and speed affect the performance of the Mac.

How can you enhance your Mac’s performance?

Buy a Mac with good  RPMs, cache size, seek speed, and transfer rate as these aspects guarantee faster drive rate.
Instead of minimizing the apps that you won’t be using for a long time, completely shut them down.
Ensure that your Mac’s battery is in the best shape by
Turning off any unused ports or devices like WIFi, Bluetooth that consume copious amount of power.
Turning off the keyboard backlighting, when not in use and reduce the screen brightness. You can also mute your Mac if you are not watching a video or listening to a song so that you can save some power.
If you observe any software glitch or hardware trouble with your Mac, immediately bring it to our Apple fix service center. We hold vast experience in repairing as well as replacing all Apple products from iPod to Macbook. We use original apple products to replace your old or damaged device. We make sure that you are provided with the efficient and cost-effective solution for your device issue.

This was difficult repair we have done last week at ApplefixHamilton on macbook air water damage repair and back light ic repair . When we look at the water damaged area it does not look promising that if it can be fixed. See picture below.
Before cleaning the water damaged Macbook logic board we have to test it. So that we can concentrate on the water damaged area. if it is cleaned before any test you might not physically see which area is most effected. Upon testing we find out that processor and bios chip is not damaged and there are few shorts on the few places of the board. Next this is to clean the logic board in a good ultrasonic machine with right composition of logic board cleaning fluid at right temperature, Macbook air water damage repair and back light ic repair is not a DIY repair. It involves way more that using ultrasonic machines and re-flow machines. Because once the macbook logic board is cleaning you will still have short on the board . Which you can only figure out if you can read the schematic diagram and board view reading knowledge. So we cleaned the macbook logic board in ultrasonic machine.


MacBook air water damage repair and back light ic repair in Hamilton
Macbook water damaged logic board came out from ultrasonic machine shinning but it didn’t turn on as there was short on the board Checked and identified shorted lines on the logic board and there was short on the back light ic line. If there is a short on macbook back light ic line it doesn’t mean that ic is short you have to perform different methods to find out where the problem is? If you are interested in learning macbook logic board repair you can take short course at applefix read further here on the course layout.


We decided to clean the macbook logic board one more time in ultrasonic machine as the short was coming from back light ic. After liquid damage the liquid or water accumulate under ic and form a green corrosion which is conductive and create short.  After one more clean we decided to re-flow the macbook logic board. Reflow is a process where you set the temperature cycle of re-flow oven so that any cold or broken solder joint on logic board restructured.
