Charging & Port Issues
Fixed UK-wide mail-in price, including parts, labour, return shipping and 1-year warranty. We diagnose and repair every charging fault on MacBook: dead USB-C ports, intermittent charging, charge negotiation failure, MagSafe board faults, charger-IC and PMIC failures on the logic board, and battery-side issues that mimic charge-port faults. We test the cable, charger and ports first — about a third of “won’t charge” cases turn out to be a faulty third-party charger or a damaged USB-C cable, not the MacBook — and we tell you if that’s the case before any work is invoiced.

Battery or Logic Board Faults
If your Mac only powers on while plugged in and does not charge, this typically points to a battery issue. Accompanied by this, you would expect an error within macOS – “Replace battery soon”, or “Battery service recommended”. This would help confirm a battery fault.
However, in some instances, the cause may be a fault within the logic board itself. The logic board houses specialised chips that manage power delivery through the USB-C ports and regulate the power supplied to the battery. If these chips are not functioning correctly, they can prevent proper charging.
Our service covers both potential causes of charging issues, ensuring a full diagnosis and appropriate repair.

MacBook Air Charging & Port Issues
Charging and port faults we repair on every MacBook model: won’t charge at all, charges only when wiggling the cable, intermittent charging, dead USB-C / Thunderbolt ports, charge stuck at 1% or stuck below 100%, MagSafe board faults on the M2/M3 MacBook Air, charger-IC and PMIC failures on the logic board, and battery-side faults that look like a port fault. Send your MacBook in — we diagnose, repair and return it with a 1-year warranty. Not sure if it’s the right service? Get in touch via the contact page for a free quote.

Great shop
Great place for uni students to use for laptops. Fixed laptop same day when fan was buzzing/whirring within an hour. Cost is good, and had quick responses to issue and concerns when using their WhatsApp messaging system

Glad we could help you Nicola, thanks for choosing bits!
Really happy with my repair. Done in the day for just £20 extra. The lady on reception was polite and easy to deal with can't recommend these people enough
I recently had my 2017 iMac fail. I put quote requests out none replied, only bits. I was told the price for repairs up front. They fitted a new power supply which got it working but found another fault on the motherboard which they fixed. I was kept informed and had explanation of my repairs. I would recommend them for a first class price and service. Well done to all.

Really helpful, fixed my nintendo in under 5 mins. Really good customer service. Thank you! 🙂
This company is great. I dropped my MacBook and needed a new screen started of and messaged them on their WhatsApp link and they gave me costs and explained the process. When I arrived there the lady on the reception was really nice had a small chat and we picked it up later that day and Mac screen is like new really impressed with their services. Would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again guys

After shopping around for a reasonably priced MacBook Air screen replacement and receiving several quotes that were far from affordable, I came across BITS through a recommendation on Perplexity.
From the outset, their pricing, repair process, and use of genuine parts were clearly explained and very reassuring. They arranged free collection via Royal Mail, the repair was completed within 24 hours, and the device was delivered back to me the very next working day.
The entire experience was smooth, efficient, and excellent value for money. I am thoroughly impressed with the service and would highly recommend BITS to anyone needing reliable and professional Apple repairs.
Response from owner
Thanks so much for the detailed review. We’re really pleased you found us and that the whole process – clear pricing, genuine parts, and the repair steps – felt reassuring from the start.<br><br>We’re glad the free Royal Mail collection and 24-hour turnaround worked well for you, and that you had your MacBook Air back the next working day. Thanks again for recommending us, it means a lot, and we’re here anytime you need help with Apple repairs.
I had a really positive experience of BITS. I took in my iMac in with a suspected power supply issue, mid-afternoon. The following morning (just 18 hours later) I was contacted to say that the replacement power supply was fitted and diagnostic checks were complete. I went in to collect and was given space and time to start-up and check the computer.
I'm really pleased with the service as well as the courteous and efficient dealings with Muhammad and Adam. Good price too, I imagine a fraction of the Apple price!
Thank you, BITS!
Response from owner

Very helpful, took my laptop for the first time and got it fixed super quickly. There seemed to be a problem a little after with the screen, took it in again and they sorted it out very quickly again and with no fuzz under the warranty, even gave me advice on other non-related problems I had. Decent!

Great job. My daughter had destroyed the screen and chassis of her iPad pro 12.9 and then it stopped working. BITS were up front and transparent about costs, they ordered a new motherboard, replaced the screen and put in a new charging port. All for a fair price. Good comms, nice people. I was worried about getting ripped off when searching for someone to do the repair work. I made a good choice, recommend💯,thanks guys 👍

More than 22,000 Repairs
We've repaired devices for all manner of issues; from broken keys, to being run over by a car - we've seen and done it all.
13,500+ Satisfied Customers
Our reputation is a testament to our dedication. We have served thousands of customers since our inception.
Real Shop, Real People.
We've been at our Bournemouth workshop in Winton since 2010 — not a faceless industrial estate, so you can drop in if you prefer.
In over a decade of business, we have heard endless grievances from our customers about other repair shops and even the Apple Store. Lack of transparency about pricing and what work is actually required is the most frequent complaint.
Shops regularly underquote, underdiagnose and then the price increases once they have your Mac in their possession. Customers then feel pressured to go ahead and authorise the repair.
To resolve this, we charge a fixed price for our repairs - so you know exactly what you are paying before your Mac leaves your hands- we then give you a full diagnostic and explain how we resolved your issue once our technicians have assessed your Mac.
Fixed, Upfront Pricing. No Surprises.
How does the process work?
Step 1: Book Your Repair
Select your issue, followed by your MacBook model, and receive a fixed quote. If you're happy to go ahead, make your booking - and we'll do the rest.
Step 2: Package & Collect
Package your MacBook safely in a plain cardboard box with bubble wrap. On your chosen collection day, Royal Mail will attend with a pre-paid postage label.
Step 3: Repaired & Returned
Your Mac will be assessed and repaired by our technicians. Once your Mac has passed diagnostics, an invoice is emailed and your Mac is packed for postage.
