Chip-level micro-soldering — not a full board swap
MacBook Logic Board Repair Dubai Fix the Chip, Keep Your Data
A dead MacBook doesn't have to mean a full board swap and lost data. We isolate the single failed component — a power-IC, a shorted port, a corroded trace — with schematic-referenced diagnostics, and repair at chip level so your soldered SSD stays untouched.

What board-level repair actually involves
Four bench stages before a single chip is touched
Bench PSU reveals a dead short instantly, without risking further damage to a live board.
A failing component often runs hotter than its neighbours — the camera finds it in seconds.
Multimeter tracing against the actual board schematic isolates the exact failed net, not a guess.
Microscope-assisted micro-soldering to replace the one failed chip — capacitor, PMIC, controller.
Liquid-damage boards get ultrasonic cleaning before any rework, so corrosion doesn't return under a new part.
Chip-level repair vs a full board swap
What you actually lose (or keep) with each approach
| Chip-level repair (Azizi) | Full board swap | |
|---|---|---|
| Your soldered SSD data | Kept — board isn't replaced | Gone, unless recovered first |
| Typical cost | 60-80% less than a full board | Full replacement-board price |
| Vintage / discontinued models | Still repairable if parts exist | Apple often refuses obsolete boards |
| Turnaround | 2-5 days, complexity-dependent | Often 1-3 week parts wait |
| What's actually replaced | The one failed component | Every chip on the board |
