While Apple® devices are designed to be strong, durable, and bug-resistant, age and wear can diminish their ability to perform at a high level. If you require MacBook® repair, it’s important you know what to do to remedy the situation. Fortunately, if you can find the right technician, this job should be fast, simple, and effective. 

Your Guide to Preparing for MacBook Repair

Protect Your Device 

Before you bring your laptop to a professional technician, take steps to preserve your data if the device still allows access to it. Start by backing up your important files to an external hard drive, key drive, or the iCloud®. By backing up your data, you can ensure none of your sensitive or personal information is lost during the repairs. 

Next, you can double up on protection during the repair process by encrypting your important files. Tax forms, credit card statements, or personal documents should all be double-checked and either encrypted or deleted completely from the hard drive to ensure they remain within your control. Lastly, log out from each of your online accounts and refresh your browsing history to remove any stored passwords. If you feel more comfortable, reset the device to factory settings before bringing it in. 

Choose Your Team

Part of preparing for MacBook repair is finding a team of technicians you can trust. The right technician will have plenty of experience in the industry, and with Apple devices in particular. They should also offer a diagnosis upfront about what they believe the root of the problem is and provide an estimate for the repairs. If the device is no longer salvageable, an honest technician will let you know right away and suggest trading, selling, or upgrading to a new model.
