Welcome to your one-stop solution for MacBook and laptop board-level repairs!
I’m not just another repair tech—I’m the guy who handles board-level repairs for over 30 repair shops across the UK. Yes, while you might not always see my name on the shop’s door, chances are, if you’re not coming to me directly, they are. Why pay them a markup when you can go straight to the source and get the job done for less?
I pride myself on honesty, transparency, and keeping you in the loop every step of the way. Need updates? I’ll send them right to your WhatsApp. Whether you’re in Birmingham and want to drop it off or prefer to mail it to me (with free return postage, of course), I make the process as easy and stress-free as possible.
So, let’s get your device back in tip-top shape and save you a little extra cash along the way.

the first touch
Your best chance of a successful repair is getting the device into the correct hands to begin with, I see macs on a weekly basis that have been damaged by people trying to repair them themselves or by inexperienced repair shops. Macbooks are delicate little creatures Apple do not want you to repair it they want you to buy a new one! If fixing them was easy this website would not exist!
01
open all hours
Due to the nature of how I work, I am able to offer flexible hours for contacting me and for both drop-off and collection. I am happy to take WhatsApp messages and usually respond straight away 7 days a week between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. I also offer drop-off and collection of devices during these hours, but evenings are preferred.
02
a friend in me
The majority of my jobs now come from repeat customers, other repair shops I do freelance work for, or from people I have done repairs for who have recommended me to friends and family. A good reputation cannot be bought; it is earned. I enjoy what I do, and without broken devices on my desk, I wouldn't be able to do this.

who am i? the bit about me:
Fixthings-MacBook repair isn’t a business run from a shop. I did own and run my own PC repair shop for many years, repairing Macs, PCs, laptops, and game consoles. Over those years, I repaired thousands of Macs and laptops and also ran a successful console repair business that, at its peak, was doing returns for larger businesses. Due to the nature of this business, I was working 7 days a week and spending around 14 hours per day in the shop. Eventually, it became too much, and the business was sold so that I could spend more time at home and start a family. During Lock-Down, I got the bug again for repairing.....

Honest reviews from real customers:
Since starting FIXthings I have met a lot of great people, had many repeat customers and even made some pretty cool friends. Its's because of these people showing their appreciation and recommending me to friends and family that I am able to continue to do what I do, and I thank you all!
Many other repair shops BUY reviews I earn mine..
Anthony is quality in every sense. Thanks for a fantastic experience and quick turn around.

You don’t come across people this honest, skilled and reliable, and for that reason, I’ll definitely be using him again in the future and recommending him to others. My laptop works perfectly now and I’m so grateful. Thank you again!
Brought my Mac in as it had completely died, he had it fixed within 2 days, and explained every problem to me, offered me price friendly solutions, and kept me updated every step of the way. This guy is a hidden treasure, if you need any apple device fixed I'd highly recommend him!
Thank you for getting my Mac back to me so fast !
When I got home, my keyboard was not working right, previous repairer maybe damaged the strip of it, I told Anthony about it and he told me he will change the keyboard free of cost just I need to buy keyboard from outside.
He is really an amazing person, for life I can trust blindly with any my laptop problem & I am not going anywhere.
Thank you Anthony! ♥️ God bless you man!
Great person, great profesional and great price,
No doubt I will repeat
Upgraded my system and expanded memory and totally transformed my 2012 Macbook pro.
A1 service great price and nice bloke to deal with who knows his stuff.
Genuine, great communication, unbelievably fast and 15% of the cost of Apples quote. Apples Geniuses also made my issue worse by powering up but Anthony still managed to repair just had to do more work.
He has a great set up made for repair not replace. If you are a planet lover then it also does your bit with that too.
Everything was agreed up front after his diagnostic. Give him your broken Macs as he loves them.
Cheers Anthony! Writing this on my Mac right now and what a joy it is compared to the windows thing I had to use today.
Anthony is an absolute lifesaver! Apple told me my MacBook’s motherboard was gone and quoted £600 for a repair, while another company said it was a logic board issue that could cost up to £350. I was ready to give up, but thankfully, I found Anthony. He diagnosed the real problem in no time – a simple dust buildup preventing power from running through the MacBook. The fix? Just £30! I had my laptop back the next day, working perfectly. Honest, knowledgeable and incredibly efficient… I couldn’t recommend him more!
Recently broke my 2024 MacBook m3, Apple told me it was deemed unrepairable & tried charging me nearly £1000 for a replacement !
Dropped it to this company in the morning & it was repaired for collection on the evening. And the best part ? Less than 1/4 of the price I was being quoted.
Don’t hesitate to use this guy, you won’t be disappointed 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
One happy customer 😁
excellent service, no problems at all.
i would gladly recommend him. cheers!
Had an issue with my laptops hard drive, Tony had no issues sorting this extremely quickly.
Works like a dream now.
Friendly, professional and super efficient, can’t recommend this service enough.
Thank you 🙏
Antony is the most honest, skilled, and professional tech repair expert I’ve come across. I contacted him in the afternoon, and by 9 PM that same day, we met. Right from the start, his friendly demeanor and deep knowledge were clear. After a quick chat, I felt confident leaving my MacBook Pro in his hands.
What really stood out was his level of transparency. Within an hour, I received a detailed WhatsApp message complete with a video showing my MacBook’s issues and a cost range for the repair. I gave him the go-ahead, and by the time I woke up the next morning, I had another message, along with a picture of my MacBook Pro fully repaired. I was so pleased to see the familiar background of my beloved MacBook again, especially after being told elsewhere that it might never run again or would cost a fortune to fix! The entire process took just 12 hours from start to finish.
Antony also exceeded expectations in terms of pricing. Although he gave me a reasonable price range, he charged me the minimum amount, something you rarely experience in this industry. In contrast, I had taken my MacBook to other repair shops before, where I was quoted four times the price Antony charged me to bring my “dead MacBook Pro” back to life.
If you’re looking for a trustworthy and highly skilled repair technician, Antony should be your go-to. His honesty, speed, and expertise are unmatched. Don't waste time with other repair shops—Antony is the real deal!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
He’s work is consistently high quality and exceeds expectations.
I do recommend him 100.
all done within a week, kept me updated aswell.
couldn't believe it when i went to collect it, looks like a brand new macbook..Daughter is so happy..
Brilliant job...
Real reviews!
Absolutely unreal service and speed. Competitive in price and quality! Really clean and clear communication. Posted back with special delivery too. Brilliant service and will 1000% use Ant again. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Fantastic 2 day turn around!
Needed some serious work doing on it, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the fix. Also, his personal service, great communication via WhatsApp every step of the way can’t be praised enough.
The best MacBook repairs you’ll find, so don’t look any further for f your MacBook or other Apple devices need sorting out.
Can’t recommend FIXthings enough. Definitely five stars (more if it was possible!!)
Felix Martin. (And my happy sorted MacBook)
He replied to my question on a Saturday night. Clearly knew a lot about Macbooks and has a passion for repairing various electronic items. He'll tackle consoles, Audio Equipment etc as well if given the challenge to do something different.
He didn't find much wrong with my Macbook. Initially I thought it was going to be beyond economic repair due to the way it behaved after not being used for months. But after a new battery, new thermal paste and a good clean. It's running fine again.
He'll fix machines that Apple won't and will do it to a proper standard, using genuine spares from donor machines.
Will recommend to others and will happily contact him again for more work or advice in future.

I can't recommend Macbook repair - FIXthings highly enough! I recently needed an urgent replacement PSU for my work PC, and he had it replaced and back to me in in working order in less than 24 hours.
The service was incredibly prompt and efficient, and the provess was professional throughout.
If you need any repairs done quickly and correctly, look no further than FIXthings.
Thank you for the fantastic service!
Very knowledgeable and very reasonable with his charges .
Repaired my daughter’s Apple air book after water damage.

Macbook CD3217 replacement
In this video, I walk you through the entire process of repairing a MacBook that won’t power on due to faulty CD3217 USB-C chips. First, I diagnose the issue by carefully inspecting the chips for damage, specifically the holes in the CD3217 chips. Then, I demonstrate how to remove the defective chips and replace them with functional ones sourced from a donor board. Finally, I re-ball the working CD3217 chips to ensure proper connections and restore the MacBook to full functionality. This step-by-step guide will give you an in-depth look at the repair process and the skills needed to bring a non-working MacBook with blown CD3217 chips back to life.

I'm a freelance repair technician
I have no "shop" no "staff" I work from my workshop at home repairing devices for people that find me and I now do freelance repairs for over a dozen PC shops in the midlands that do not do in house board level repairs.
01
experience
I have been pulling computers apart and repairing them since I was a child, I ran a successful PC and Game console repair shop in Birmingham for over 7 years, I now spend my evenings specializing in Macbook board level diagnostics and micro-soldering. (I still do repair windows laptops and game consoles )

Apple Suck
If you are unlucky enough to have a broken mac and have had one the "Genius Guys" tell you that your mac is "Vintage" and cannot be repaired or have been quoted HUGE sums to replace the entire Logic-board, GET IN TOUCH. The "Genius's" in apple shops are just salesmen they get commission for selling you a new mac, they are NOT technicians!
