Description
On the MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro/Max the processor, memory and storage are all built onto one logic board. When it will not power on, will not charge, or shows liquid damage, the answer is board-level repair, not a new Mac. The MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro/Max (A2485, 2021) is the 2021 redesign with a mini-LED XDR display, MagSafe 3, HDMI and an SD slot.
About the MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro/Max (A2485)
The M1 Pro/Max chip, its unified memory and the SSD are all soldered to the logic board, which is why board-level repair beats replacement. These Pros draw a lot of power under load, and failed power components after a spill or a bad third-party charger are the usual board faults. Most MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro/Max machines are now past Apple's warranty and AppleCare, which is where an independent repair saves the most.

How board repair works
We measure the power rails to find where the fault is, clean any corrosion, and replace the failed chips, capacitors or connectors with a hot-air station under magnification. The MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro/Max then runs a long stress test under load before we call it done.
Price
- Component-Level Repair: $699.99
Every repair starts with incoming diagnostics. If we find anything else, we contact you before doing more work.
Mail-in or walk-in
Mail-in is simple: order, print the prepaid UPS label we email you (it includes $100 of insurance), and ship the MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro/Max by itself in a well-padded box. Include your order confirmation so we can match it quickly. You get updates when it arrives, when it is fixed and when it ships back.
Prefer to hand it over in person? Our Jupiter store on Donald Ross Road takes walk-ins six days a week, 10 to 7, with Sunday appointments 11 to 5.
Warranty
You get a 90-day warranty on the part we fit. If it fails from a defect in that time we fix it free; new accidental damage is not included.
Common questions
Can you save my data?
Often, yes. Repairing the original board keeps the storage chips in place, and your files with them.
What if it cannot be repaired?
We will tell you after the diagnostic and you only pay for a repair you approve.
How do I confirm I have the MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro/Max?
Click the Apple menu > About This Mac. It lists the screen size and year, and the chip, which should read Apple M1 Pro or M1 Max. The model number printed on the bottom case is A2485.
