Why Make the Drive from South Melbourne for a Mac Repair?
It is tempting to drop your Mac off at a generic PC shop near Clarendon Street or in the CBD, but 90% of those shops are only equipped to swap out basic parts. Rescuing data from modern T2 and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs requires a dedicated, high-tech lab. We regularly receive devices from South Melbourne, interstate, and overseas because we offer true logic board repair. We restore full functionality without resorting to the expensive, full-board replacements that Apple recommends.

Our expertise spans a wide range of Mac devices, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini, and Mac Pro. Our comprehensive suite of Mac computer services.
**Beware the Local "$99 Water Damage" Trap**
If you’ve spilled liquid on your MacBook, don’t panic—but please do not fall for local shops offering a “$99 liquid damage special.” These cheap services usually consist of a technician simply opening the bottom cover and wiping the logic board with a toothbrush and alcohol. This does not remove the microscopic corrosion underneath the chips.
Apple and many third-party repair shops will tell you the board is fried and your data is gone. At IT-Tech Online, we take the smarter, more sustainable approach. Our team uses industrial ultrasonic cleaning and micro-soldering techniques to completely clear the corrosion and replace only the faulty chips, doing it right the first time.
What We Offer to Mac Users in South Melbourne:
Chip-level logic board repair: Fixing no power, charging issues, and no display problems at the component level.
MacBook Water Damage Repair: Ultrasonic cleaning to permanently stop liquid corrosion.
Mac Data Recovery: Extracting irreplaceable files from dead or non-functional Macs. No Data, No Fee.
Everyday Hardware Fixes: Fast replacements for screens, batteries, SSDs, trackpads, keyboards, and fans.
Complex Diagnostics: Solutions for boot failures, graphical problems, overheating, and more.
We Also Repair Other Laptops
While we specialise in Apple repairs, we also provide expert service for premium Windows laptops from HP, Dell, Asus, Lenovo, Acer, and more. If you need help with screen repairs, battery issues, or component-level faults, we’re fully equipped to assist.
The Logistics & Easy Parking
Our dedicated repair lab at 163A East Boundary Road, Bentleigh East, is a straightforward drive from South Melbourne straight down the Nepean Highway. Skip the nightmare of navigating CBD traffic and paying for South Melbourne street parking—we have free, dedicated parking directly outside our storefront so you can comfortably carry your Mac straight inside.
Don’t give up on your MacBook just because another repairer said it’s not fixable. Visit our workshop today and let us bring your dead Mac back to life!

- Great response time - rang me back right away, and iMac was ready well within the promised timeframe. Did an amazing job replacing HDD with SSD, and the GPU at the same time. Didn't solve the black screen problem, but we figured that out afterwards. So glad to have found Frances and team!read moreread less×My Macbook pro had major issues including intermittent shut downs, a sick battery, and a screen that wouldn't close.

- 7 anxious days after I spilled a whole glass of water on my laptop, here's what I now know I should have done: 1 - DON'T put it in rice. Turn it off RIGHT away, dry as much as possible with is facing upside down. DO NOT try turning it on again. Leave it butterflied open and upside down on a pillow to dry. Don't touch it. 2 - DON'T bother taking it to Apple unless you have Apple Care (which I now wish I paid for when I bought the laptop). They couldn't do anything and I'd have to buy a whole new laptop and lose all data. 3 - TAKE IT STRAIGHT TO FRANCES. It was badly water damaged so it was more expensive to fix ($1200) but worth it to not lose my hard drive and be able to use it again for work. She fixed it in 48 hours and its working again WITH ALL MY DATA SAVED. Thanks for your amazing work Frances.read moreread less×Liam See7 anxious days after I spilled a whole glass of water on my laptop, here's what I now know I should have done: 1 - DON'T put it in rice.

- Absolutely impeccable service from IT-Tech. I made an enquiry about upgrading my 2014 iMac and they replied immediately to my request. A 2tb SSD was added in place of the original 1tb drive and all of the content on my hard drive was transferred over and my machine was back to me within two business days; now it works better than it did when it was brand new. Affordable; professional and exceptionally friendly service. I would very highly recommend.read moreread less×Envy_ DigitalAbsolutely impeccable service from IT-Tech.

Macbook Pro screen 15inch 2019, cracked screen not turning on at all. Every other place needed atleaset 5-7 days to fix, I called Francis at 12.30 & had my screen fixed by 430! I enjoyed dealing with Francis and couldn't recommend them more on this one. I've been driving past that sign on East Boundary for years and always wondered how they go. Stoked to have a place for the next time I inevitably break another Mac.

Opened it up myself to confirm there was water corrosion. Apple quoted about $3k to 'repair' it (replace the logic board, screen, keyboard, and pretty much the rest of the guts ... not actually investigate the technical problem, like a shorted chip, and replace that). I'm a bit dubious when it comes to 3rd party repair stores as I've seen some average quality repairs of friends old phones and usage of non genuine Apple parts. Did a lot of searching online for a MacBook repair place and came across here. About 350 5 star reviews seemed too good to be true, but from reading many of them, they looked all legitimate. Many of who also had water damage. Called up and spoke to Frances. She was extremely friendly and transparent about their repair process and potential costs involved. Decided to bring it in and within 24 hours it was repaired at 1/3rd of the cost that Apple quoted me. One month later the laptop is still operating perfectly. I don't often give reviews but the customer service, pricing and quality of workmanship was faultless. Many thanks! P.S - to get some insight into the kind and quality of repairing they do, have a look at Louis Rossmann on YouTube. He's an electronics technician in NYC who videos and narrates his repair processes.

I went to apple and they said the repair would end up costing as much as I bought it as they would have to repair almost all parts inside. They recommended purchasing a brand new laptop. The laptop did not turn on and the entire keyboard was wet. I was so upset but then I found IT Tech and spoke to Frances who reassured me they could fix it after having a look at it. The repair was a very reasonable price. They did an amazing job and the laptop is still in perfect condition 5 months on.

- I received quality service and really appreciate these people are here to help. The shop conducted chip level repair which successfully resurrected my laptop logic board. Without them, I would have to pay double the price to get it fixed through Apple authorised dealers, which will also recover my data but extremely not economical. One recommendation is that I hope it can encourage receive and send back laptops via mail even for local customers. Because it takes me a lot of time to drive to the shop.

Thanks againFrances was amazing. All hope was lost after spilling water into my laptop. Apple said there was nothing that could be done and offered to recycle my old and supposedly laptop and offered a new one, at full price of course. Not one to give up easily I found Frances and upon arrival she seemed 100% confident she could fit it. 48 hours later laptop was totally fixed, all data there it was as if the spill never happened and at 420$ it was a hellva lot cheaper than buying a new laptop. I couldn't believe it! Any Mac issues go to Frances, especially water damage she is a magic worker. THANK YOU SO MUCH Xread moreread less×Claire MilneFrances was amazing.

Apple Genius Bar told me both my hard disk drive and graphics processing unit on my late 2011 Apple iMac 27" had "failed" and that as the machine was now viewed as "vintage" by Apple, I would be lucky to find anywhere that could obtain parts to fix it. It was also suggested that I may need a new logic board too. The cost of replacing the iMac with a current model would be around the $2,500 mark. After a quick enquiry to IT-tech online, I was provided with a rough estimate that was nowhere near the figures Apple had quoted me. I dropped the iMac off to Frances and Carl on Thursday morning and collected it on Tuesday morning. All fixed, as good as new, and all my data was also transferred from the old hard drive to the new one (at a fraction of the cost quoted by Apple to repair or replace). I would highly recommend IT-Tech Online to anyone who is experiencing issues with their PC or Mac. Thank you so much!read moreread less×Nicki ThomsonAmazing service from Frances and Carl.
