Diagnosing a Non-Turning On MacBook Pro
A professional MacBook Pro A1708 Repair was necessary for this 13″ model which arrived in a completely non-turning on state (RepairID #2257). When pressing the power button, the device showed no signs of life. At IT-Solve in Adelaide, we specialize in diagnosing these complex power failures where the cause isn’t immediately obvious. Unlike simple part swaps, restoring a dead MacBook requires a deep understanding of the electronic sequence that brings these machines to life.
MacBook Pro A1708 Repair – Oxidation and Trace Damage
Microscopic Corrosion and Trace Reconstruction
Once the logic board was removed from the chassis, we discovered oxidation marks under the keyboard area at the top edge of the frame. This didn’t look like direct liquid damage; instead, it was likely a buildup of dust and fluff mixed with high humidity. This combination creates a corrosive paste that eats through delicate circuitry. Under our high-resolution microscope, we identified two critical chips with damaged traces underneath them.
To facilitate a successful MacBook Pro A1708 Repair, we had to manually rebuild these traces. These connections are as thin as a human hair (0.1mm). This level of precision requires working with components the size of a toothpick tip. It highlights why it is vital to take your MacBook repair to professionals who understand Apple hardware at an electronic level and have the steady hands required for microscopic reconstruction.
Premium Technical Skills vs. Logic Board Replacement
This repair is a perfect example of why IT-Solve is the preferred choice in Adelaide. Apple’s solution for this issue would have been a full logic board replacement, costing 3-4 times as much as our repair. Furthermore, because these models have integrated storage, a board replacement results in complete data loss. By performing a surgical repair on the original board, we saved a $2800 laptop from becoming e-waste and, more importantly, preserved all the customer’s data. This is another instance where Apple’s design pushes users toward iCloud subscriptions or expensive new hardware, rather than sustainable repair.
MacBook Pro A1708 Repair Successfully Completed
After meticulously scraping away the oxidation—similar to removing caries from a tooth—and soldering the chips back onto the newly created traces, we began the reassembly. The board was placed back into the chassis, and the system loaded perfectly to the desktop with all user files intact. Our technical approach at IT-Solve ensures your laptop receives a precise fix that respects both your hardware and your privacy.
