Ask about repairing iPad Pro cracked screen. Sent images and video of current cracked screen. Quoted HK$2200. Took it to the shop a few days later. Technician said as the screen had yellowing, he couldn’t reuse it and wanted $3200. No thanks. He then blamed me for not sending him images of the screen. What a lie. Deceptive quotes. Beware
This company lies about what it is doing I think they used defective parts in the mother board on the MacBook Air. The main guy Lav said there was no warranty and threatened to recycle the computer even though I had been based in Beijing. I now have to find somebody else to repair the mother board the other company Maxtech has described the mother board repair as a travesty totally fraudulent and amteurish so the computer display doesn't work.
The keyboard and Trackpad stopped working on my 2015 MacBook Pro Laptop.
It was an intermittant problem - either they would not work at all, or they would work 100% (all keys and trackpad).
I figured it probably needed a new SPI cable or, worst case, one of the microchips on the logic board was burnt out.
I took the computer to MacWin Technology and spoke to Lokesh.
He opened the laptop and claimed there was water damage. There was no water damage but Hong Kong is a humid place - so I didn't challenge him.
He said would do a computer service at HK$350 and call back on Monday night to advise on any repairs needed.
He did not call back on Monday, so I called him on Tuesday. He hadn't started working on the laptop yet. Finally he called on Wednesday to say there were a number of issues . He did not explain them. He said he replaced a couple of micro chips on the logic board and that the trackpad needed replaced. It would cost HK$1700 for the trackpad. I was suspicious, but accepted - just wanted my laptop back. He also said that the keyboard might need to be replaced too, but he would let me know. Hmm suspicious - not the diagnosis i expected, but OK. He said the laptop would be ready to pick up on Friday.
I called on Friday and his technician told me they had had to replace the keyboard too. The price woud now be HK$2500. I received no phone call in advance to confirm it.
I went to collect it on Friday and checked the trackpad and keyboard. They were dirty and had the marks of many years use. There was no way they had been replaced.
I challenged him and he fed me a highly unlikley story, that they had used secondhand parts for the repair. Even if they have been replaced - any respectable technician will tell you in advance and offer you the option to use genuine spares rather than reconditioned ones. They will also ask you if they can go ahead with the repair and confirm that you accept the additional cost.
I have been ripped off.
The learning for me - Get Applecare for three years - especially if it's a business critical computer.
My advice to you - Do not use MacWin Technology - It's a false economy. There are better, more professional options who will guide you through the repair process and seek confimation that additional costs are acceptable.
