Mac Pro Apple silicon repairs and upgrades
Power supply repair
We test and replace failed power supplies. Many branded desktops use a manufacturer-specific unit, which we match to the exact chassis.
Storage
Storage on the Mac Pro Apple silicon is soldered and cannot be upgraded. We can help with external storage, clearing space, or moving to a new machine.
Memory
Memory in the Mac Pro Apple silicon is part of the Apple silicon chip and cannot be changed after purchase.
Overheating and fan repair
We clear dust from heatsinks, fans and filters, replace failed fans and renew thermal compound. On liquid-cooled systems we test the pump.
macOS reinstall and repair
We reinstall macOS, migrate data, and can revive or restore the firmware in DFU mode from a second Mac when an update has left the machine unresponsive.
Graphics repair
We diagnose and replace failed graphics cards, and check that the power supply and case can take the card you want before an upgrade.
We also carry out logic board repair, macOS reinstallation on the Mac Pro Apple silicon, along with no-picture and no-boot diagnosis, port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement and data transfer to a new PC.
Known issues with the Mac Pro Apple silicon range
- The 2009 to 2012 tower is fully modular, with standard drive bays and memory slots, and is still worth upgrading for some workloads.
- Storage modules in the Mac Studio and 2019 Mac Pro are tied to the machine’s security chip and cannot simply be read in another computer.
Data recovery from the Mac Pro Apple silicon
The SSD in the Mac Pro Apple silicon is soldered and hardware-encrypted, so there is no drive to remove. If the Mac is dead, data recovery means repairing the logic board far enough to start it and copy the data off. If you have a Time Machine or iCloud backup, tell us, as that may be the quicker route.

Questions
Can the SSD or memory in the Mac Pro Apple silicon be upgraded?
The storage is soldered and cannot be upgraded. Memory is part of the chip and cannot be changed.
My Mac Pro Apple silicon will not turn on. Is my data lost?
Not necessarily, but the storage is on the main board, so the board has to be repaired far enough to read it. Do not keep trying to power it on, and tell us about any backups you have.
Can you upgrade the graphics card in a Mac Pro Apple silicon?
In most cases, yes. We first check the power supply, the physical space and any manufacturer-specific connectors, then fit and test the card.
How much does it cost to repair a Mac Pro Apple silicon?
Price confirmed before work starts. The exact figure depends on the part your machine needs, and we confirm it before any work starts.
