from€149
Is something wrong with your MacBook Pro 14" M5 Max? FIXNOW repairs your device expertly in Antwerp and Wolvertem. We start with a diagnosis, discuss the price, and only get to work once you’ve agreed.
Choose what is wrong with your device
Starting price: you get the exact price after the diagnosis, before we start. If you choose not to repair or the repair does not succeed, you only pay for the diagnosis (€39).
Motherboard
Specialist workNot sure which option fits, or does your MacBook have a different logic board problem?
- Diagnosis and repair at component level
- More affordable than a complete new logic board
- Your original logic board is kept wherever possible
Won’t turn on (logic board)
Component levelThe MacBook does not react at all, not even on the charger or with a different adapter and cable: no fan, no sound, no keyboard backlight.
- We first measure with a USB-C tester what the MacBook draws from the charger: that often already points the way
- Then we measure the power circuit on the logic board and repair the faulty component, for example a short circuit or a power or charging chip
- Your original logic board stays in the MacBook
Won’t charge (charging chip)
The MacBook no longer charges through any USB-C port or MagSafe, even with a different adapter or cable.
- We first check the adapter, cable and the ports themselves
- Then we repair the charging circuit on the logic board
Photo and data recovery
Specialist workThe MacBook no longer starts, and it holds photos, documents or other data without a backup.
Please give us your login password if you can, so we can test everything after the repair. If the logic board is badly burnt or the memory chips themselves are damaged, neither the board nor the data can be saved.
- On MacBooks with a T2 chip or Apple silicon, storage is soldered to the logic board: the data can only be read once that board works again
- So we repair the logic board first, then read out the data
Stuck on the Apple logo
After diagnosisThe MacBook gets stuck on the Apple logo, keeps restarting, or shows a folder with a question mark, even after restarting with a good battery.
In recovery mode, choose to reinstall macOS, not to erase the disk.
- A folder with a question mark usually points to a startup disk that cannot be found; we first check whether storage or software is the cause
- If the fault is on the logic board, we repair it there
Motherboard after water damage
After water damageAfter coffee, water or another liquid, the MacBook no longer starts, keeps shutting down or no longer charges. This can also happen months after the spill: corrosion works slowly.
Water-damage repairs carry no warranty: moisture or early corrosion can still affect the MacBook later.
- We repair the affected components on the logic board
- The regular water-damage cleaning happens first, as a separate service
- We only start this repair after your approval
Black screen, MacBook still runs (backlight)
After diagnosisThe MacBook is running: the fan spins, you hear the startup sound or the keyboard backlight comes on, but the built-in screen stays black. An external screen often still shows an image.
If the display cable or screen turns out to be the cause, that falls outside this service; we discuss that after the diagnosis.
- We test whether the cause is the backlight circuit on the logic board, the display cable, or the screen itself
- If the cause is on the logic board, we repair it there

Broke my laptop in class, walked in 3 hours later with no appointment and my screen was fixed the next day. Great and open communication about the procedure and price. Definitely recommend!!
Reply from FIXNOW
Breaking your laptop mid-class is a rough moment, so we're glad you could just walk in without an appointment. We'd always rather talk you through the procedure and the price upfront than leave you guessing, and getting a laptop screen repair in Antwerp done by the next day is exactly what we hoped for here on the Wiegstraat.
