Memory
Memory in the MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch is soldered and cannot be upgraded. It is worth knowing this before paying anyone for a memory upgrade.
macOS reinstall and repair
We reinstall macOS and migrate your data. Apple no longer offers the latest macOS for this Mac, so we install the newest version it supports.
Battery replacement
The battery is bonded into the top case. We release it with adhesive remover, fit a new one and check the cycle count and charging afterwards. A battery of this age that swells should be replaced before it damages the trackpad or casing.

Keyboard and trackpad repair
Individual keys and keycaps can often be repaired. A keyboard with liquid damage or several dead keys is replaced, which on this model means the top case.
Charging port and power repair
We test the charger, the port and the charging circuit separately. A Mac that will not charge is often a port or a single failed component on the logic board.
We also carry out logic board repair, liquid damage repair, overheating and fan repair, hinge and casing repair, macOS reinstallation on the MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch, along with USB, HDMI and audio port repair, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth card replacement, webcam and speaker faults and data transfer to a new machine.
Notes from the workshop
- The battery is glued into the top case. We release it with adhesive remover and never lever it out.
- The SSD is a removable Apple-format module, which keeps storage upgrades and data recovery straightforward.
- Anti-reflective coating wear on the display is common on these years and shows as patchy staining that will not wipe off.
