Yes. We repair every Mac mini ever made — from the 2010 Intel through the 2012 quad-core, 2014, 2018, the M1/M2/M2 Pro Apple Silicon generation, and the latest M4 and M4 Pro. Older Intel minis are increasingly classified as vintage or obsolete by Apple, meaning iStore and Apple-authorised service providers will refuse to service them. We don't. Component-level board repair, SSD and RAM upgrades on supported models, fan and thermal service, liquid damage recovery — all available. Bring it in for a free diagnostic.

Possibly. Apple has confirmed that a small percentage of 2023 M2 Mac minis manufactured between June 2024 and November 2024 may fail to power on, and covers the repair free of charge for up to three years from original purchase. Check your serial number on Apple's Mac mini Service Program page first. If your machine doesn't qualify — different production date, expired window, or unrelated power fault — it's still fixable. Board-level power-rail repair via microsoldering is exactly the kind of work we do.

Almost always yes. Power surges when Eskom restores supply are one of the most common causes of Mac mini PSU failure in South Africa. Even a powered-off Mac mini remains exposed to the surge if plugged in. The PSU capacitors, rectifiers, and downstream power rails on the logic board absorb the damage. In most cases the fault is component-level and fully repairable via microsoldering — the original board, integrated SSD, and your data all preserved.

Most Mac mini repairs fall between R450 and R8,500 depending on the fault. Common ranges: macOS reinstall R450–R1,200, fan and thermal service R650–R1,500, HDMI or USB-C port repair R1,000–R3,800, no-power repair R1,200–R4,500, RAM or SSD upgrade R900–R4,500, full component-level logic board repair R1,500–R8,500. Every quote is written and fixed before any work begins. Diagnostic is always free.

Yes. Our component-level approach replaces the failed chip or trace and leaves the rest of the board — your storage, your data, your installed apps — exactly where they were. Full board swaps wipe everything; we don't swap boards where component repair is possible. On Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M4) the storage is integrated into the chip, so board-level recovery is the only data-recovery path — and that's exactly what we do.

Yes. Across Gauteng — Joburg, Pretoria, East Rand, Centurion — we offer R300 insured door-to-door collection and return via Eliz Courier and Messenger Services. Nationwide — Cape Town, Durban, PE, Bloem, Polokwane, anywhere else — we arrange Courier Guy collection from your door, the Mac mini ships to us insured, gets repaired, and returns via the same courier. WhatsApp 078 742 4769 to arrange.

No. Like all Apple Silicon, the M4 and M4 Pro's memory and storage are integrated into the chip package — no after-purchase upgrade path. Configure correctly at purchase. With no upgrade path, board-level repair and careful data handling are the key services for this generation. RAM upgrades are still available on older Intel minis (notably the 2018 and 2010-2012 models with socketed RAM).

No. Diagnosis is always free on arrival, with a written fixed-price quote before any work begins. No R599 assessment fee, no hidden costs. If the repair doesn't make sense — for example, a 2010 mini with multiple faults, or a major board fault on a 4GB-RAM 2014 — we'll say so before quoting. No padding the bill, no selling repairs that aren't worth it.
