macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466
macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466
at first sight when this lady called us, it seemed that her wifi card was defective and she asked if we can replace it for her. because if you google this problem that is pretty much the answer you will find. so she was calling around people to ask how much would it cost to repair macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466 by replacing the wifi card.
of course much to her surprise many people didn’t even have the replacement wifi card in stock. for few reasons. wifi cards rarely go out, if ever. therefore not a lot of people have them. but we did. we had 2 cards laying around and when she brought the her macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466 in we replaced wifi card with two different cards, yet the problem was still the same.
the actual defect in macbook air wifi no hardware detected a1466 was logic board damage. the wifi ic was damaged and had to be replaced. it took 2 days to do the repair and now macbook air logic board recognized wifi cards again with no issues! wooohooo!

macbook pro retina screen repair
macbook pro retina screen repair case study!
this macbook pro came in because someone has closed the lid while the headphones were still laying on keyboard! and ouch! screen cracked all the way through! pretty unfortunate situation!
and the thing about macbook pro retina laptops. unlike the old macbooks the whole top display assembly has to be replaced on these! that makes our repair job easier, but a little higher price ticket to the customer! but the good thing is we still do it cheaper than apple store can!
this repair took less than 24 hours to complete! we had to pickup the screen from supplier!

2015 27 inch imac hard drive replacement- fusion drive failure
2015 27 inch imac hard drive replacement- because of fusion 3TB hard drive failure. this is a second 27 inch imac 2015 we have received this week. both of them same problem. hard drives have failed. now dont get me wrong. the idea of fusion hard drive is great! it is a hybrid solid state (ssd) and regular hard drive so to speak. it stores frequently accessed information on ssd part and the rest on regular portion.
in theory they are great! but apparently they don’t last that long! but then again most drives dont last that long. in this case luckily customer has a backup! so we just installed a new 1TB hard drive and his 2015 imac 27 inch is running like new again!
the trickiest part on these is to un-glue the screen! they are not meant to be open! thanks to apples great design! but we can do it no problem! open it up, switch hard drive, give it a good old dust cleaning and close it back up with doublesided tape!
anyhow have imac or macbook problems call us at 805-585-5535 we are the best at what we do in the whole thousand oaks area!!! or stop by at 3339 Kimber dr. Suite D, Newbury Park, Ca 91320
cheers! this was case study of 2015 27 inch imac hard drive replacement!
