Battery, charger or board?
A machine that will not hold charge can be the cell, the charging port, the charger itself or the power circuitry on the logic board. We test all of them during the diagnostic so you are not paying twice.

- How much is a MacBook battery replacement in Ottawa?
- It depends on the model's battery part. Diagnosis is $49 and is waived if you approve the repair, and the total comes to you in writing first.
- Is a swollen MacBook battery dangerous?
- Treat it as one. Stop charging it, stop using it, and bring it in. Do not press the case or try to remove the cell yourself.
- How do I know if the battery is worn out?
- Hold Option and click the Apple menu, then System Information, then Power. Cycle count and condition are listed there — or we read it for you during the diagnostic.

- Often, when the battery for your model is on the shelf. We confirm timing after diagnosis instead of promising it beforehand.
- Do you collect and return the machine?
- Yes — free pickup and return delivery across Ottawa on repairs.
