Need logic board repair for your MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 & M2? We carry out this work in-house at our London workshop, with a fixed quote before we start.
The M1 or M2 board carries the chip, memory and storage. We repair power, charging and liquid-damaged circuits at component level, and board repair is also the only route to recovering data from these Macs.
Because the A2338 has a fan, heat-related board stress is lower than on older Intel 13-inch models. Most board faults we see on it follow spills or charging damage.
About this model: The 13-inch MacBook Pro with M1 (2020) and M2 (2022) shares model number A2338 and the older Intel-era chassis, complete with Touch Bar and a fan. It’s reliable, but the screen is as vulnerable to pressure cracks as the M1 Air, and the Touch Bar can fail after spills.
Signs it needs logic board repair
- No power
- Not charging
- Liquid corrosion
- Won’t boot
How we do it
We don’t swap boards by default. Your board is examined under the microscope, its power rails measured against the schematic, and shorts located with a thermal camera. The failed part is then replaced by micro-soldering.

All prices are subject to inspection, and nothing is done without your approval.
