Testimonials

Keith’s service at Appel.me is excellent. He always gives us great service, prompt updates and advice on our Mac repairs. His service is always excellent value as he looks for the low cost solution first which in this day and age is quite rare to find. Various MacBooks & MacBook Pros

Karl, Walsall, West Midlands

I have known Keith for nearly 27 years – and during which time, (apart from the world-travelling Apple events we have been to) I have bought all my business Macs – and personal ones from him too – and that’s been quite a few over the years. I am pretty switched on with Mac software & kit – and support my own customers on a daily basis – buy occasionally you get a curved ball you can’t solve. A quick call to Keith – solves it every time – he knows Mac things better than anyone I know. Nothing is …

Greg, Telford, Shropshire

Thanks for the new battery fitted with the ‘while you wait’ service the other day to my laptop. All fine and dandy! MacBook 13″ battery replaced

Paul, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

Just when everything is running smoothly, on our amazing Macs that we are totally reliant on, something unexpected happens…down time…Nooo!!! It’s so good to know at the other end of the phone is someone who you can talk to and will fix it. I have been dealing with Keith now for 17 years. Very happy rabbit.

MacBook Pro 13″ RAM upgrade

Mike, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Excellent service at a reasonable price – problem sorted and data recovered after failed disk drive in my MacPro – would unhesitatingly recommend Appel as ‘the people’ to visit when problems arise with any Mac

Apple MacPro Hard drive data recovery after failure and replace with 1TB HD

Roger, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

I had some major problems with the logic board of my MacBook Pro. Apple wanted more than the cost of a new one to fix the problem. Contacted Keith who sorted it all out, replaced the logic board, saved my data and was a great help and all at a more realistic price than Apple quoted. He also changed the screen on my ipod touch which I thought was impossible. Any Apple related problems then Keith should be the first person you contact.  Repair MacBook Pro 15″, temp repair to logic and then replace…

John, Loggerheads, Staffordshire

My Mac is working great after your good work, its nice to have good old style service without all the crap most people give you these days, many thanks.  iMac G5 logic board repair.

Ron, Artisan, Clun, Shropshire

Came to you with a poorly MacBook with a corrupt hard drive .. My machine was tested and repaired in a relatively short space of time and still now is used to play music to over 2000 climbers a week !! Week in week out 🙂

You are an official Mac God !!

Robbie, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Charges were reasonable considering the length of time of the consultation. very fair and transparent. PowerMac G5 software issues resolved.

Birmingham movie editor

I was very happy that you managed to breathe more life into my powerbook & also make it look pretty again!

Faults and Solutions

MacBook white A1181 with no backlight on LCD. The backlight is built into the LCD on this MAcBook model so LCD panel replaced and all good.

Apple advise that virus protection should not be required if you keep your Mac OS up to date. In fact many supposed protection software grab lots of processor & RAM slowing Macs down by interrupting OS X system calls. If you are still worried go App Store and download free ClamXav and run once a month or if you are worried.

iPad Mini smashed glass. Removed broken glass & installed new glass/digitiser.

iPad Mini ordered new LCD to go with new glass/digitiser & new power button

MacBook white A1181, trackpad not working. Replaced whole topcase keyboard & trackpad. All works now. Trackpad & keyboard are not individually replaceable on this model so its a whole topcase.

6 iPad 2s repaired – 3 new glass/digitisers, 2 new screens (LCDs) and 1 home button dock connector assembly. All turned round in a day & client delighted.

MacBook Pro 15″ failed battery & failed hard drive. Replaced battery with new and removed HD to recovery station. Unable to recover any data from this drive – sent to HD laboratory who dismantled in a clean room and rebuilt so data could be saved. There was catastrophic damage to one platter of HD and this data was lost but the other 3 platters were recovered including critical data for client.

MacBook Pro 13″ trackpad failed & HD failing. Liquid damage visible internally was all cleaned up, trackpad & HD replaced. All data recovered and new drive installed.

El CapitanUpgrading an older Mac to El Capitan. Beware CPU hogging and over heating at first start up. It appears that Photos background activities coupled with Spotlight indexing are causing a lot of overheating and crashes on older Macs until both have completed initial set up. Try installing iStat Menus to run the fans faster and leave your Mac on for 24 hours after initial set up. As always, give me a call if you need help.

MacBook Air with pint of beer spilt on it. Took over a week but resurrected after chemical clean and couple of new parts. All data saved and works like new.

Testimonials

You repaired my MacBook Pro and a fine job you did on it. I was very impressed
that you didn’t go for the easy and most costly option first and tried to re connect the video chip with the attendant cleaning off of the original compound. but eventually the new board had to be ordered and installed. You also increased the memory and put in a new battery. I am pleased to report the unit is working well .  Thank you for all the care and attention you gave to the laptop and me (the customer). I wa…

If you have a Mac and it needs fixing, or you want a pre-owned refurb, don’t go anywhere else but @appelkc, Keith’s a complete star. Top class service again from Keith. Thoroughly refurbed iMac supplied at a very reasonable price (having kept my ancient misused one going longer than anyone could have expected), set up just how I wanted it. Friendly, knowledgable, helpful people who mend stuff and speak normal English are like gold dust and Keith’s one of the best.
