iMac Repair in Irvine
Slow iMac, cracked screen, no power, or liquid damage. We repair and upgrade every iMac, from the 21.5 inch up to the 27 inch and iMac Pro, including the board-level work most shops send out. Free diagnostic, and most repairs are done same day or next day.
What we fix on iMacs
From a quick SSD upgrade to board-level repair, all in house at our Irvine shop.
Slow iMac (the big one)
An SSD upgrade is the single best fix for a sluggish 2015 to 2020 iMac. It replaces the slow hard drive or Fusion Drive and the machine feels new again.
Cracked or bad screen
Display replacement on the 21.5, 24, and 27 inch iMac and iMac Pro. Glued-in panels done in house for well under Apple's price.
Will not turn on
No power, no chime, or a black screen. We find whether it is the power supply, backlight, cable, or logic board before you spend a dime.
Logic board repair
Board-level component repair for power faults, no display, and water-damaged boards that most shops will not attempt.
Liquid damage
Spilled on the keyboard and it reached the iMac, or a leak hit the base. We clean and repair the board to recover the machine and your data.
Slow, freezing, or noisy
Overheating and loud fans, beachballs, failing drives, or a macOS install gone wrong. We diagnose the real cause, not guesswork.
The slow iMac fix worth knowing about
If your iMac takes forever to boot, beachballs when you open apps, and feels slower every year, the problem is usually the drive, not the whole machine. Apple shipped a lot of iMacs with a spinning hard drive or a Fusion Drive that combines a small SSD with a slow hard disk. As the drive fills and ages, performance falls off a cliff.
Swapping in a modern SSD is the highest-value repair we do. A 2015 to 2020 iMac that felt ready for the recycle bin boots in seconds and runs the latest macOS comfortably again, often for far less than a new computer. We can move your files and apps over so nothing is lost. Bring it in for a free diagnostic and we will tell you honestly whether an SSD, more memory, or a fresh install is the right call.
Every iMac job starts with a free diagnostic and an exact quote before any work begins. See common rates on our repair prices page, and remember we are well below the Apple Store on out-of-warranty work.

iMac repair questions
My iMac is really slow. Can you fix it?+
Almost always, yes, and it is the most common iMac repair we do. Older iMacs shipped with a slow hard drive or Fusion Drive, and once macOS and your files fill it up the whole machine crawls. Swapping in an SSD makes a 2015 to 2020 iMac feel new again, usually for a fraction of the cost of a replacement. We will tell you at the free diagnostic whether an SSD, more memory, or a clean install is what yours needs.
Can you replace a cracked or damaged iMac screen?+
Yes, on every size, the 21.5 inch, 24 inch, 27 inch, and iMac Pro. iMac displays are glued in, so this is a careful job that many shops send out. We do it in house and we are well below what Apple charges for a screen on an out-of-warranty machine.
My iMac will not turn on or shows a black screen. What is wrong?+
It could be the power supply, the backlight, the display cable, or the logic board, and they are easy to confuse. We run a free diagnostic to find the real cause before you spend anything. A black screen on a machine that still chimes is often a backlight or cable issue, not a dead board, which is good news for the repair cost.
Do you fix older iMacs that Apple calls vintage and will not service?+
Yes. Once Apple marks a model vintage or obsolete they stop repairing it, but the machine is usually still worth fixing. We repair and upgrade iMacs going back many years, including board-level work and SSD upgrades that give an old all-in-one several more good years.
Do you work on both Intel and Apple Silicon iMacs?+
Both. The older Intel iMacs (2012 to 2020) and the newer 24 inch Apple Silicon M1 and M3 models. Intel iMacs get the most out of an SSD and memory upgrade. The Apple Silicon models we handle for screen, power, port, and board-level repair.
How long does an iMac repair take?+
Most repairs are same day or next day. An SSD upgrade or memory upgrade is usually same day. A screen replacement depends on parts but is often next day. Board-level repair takes 2 to 5 days. You get a real timeline at the free diagnostic and we do not start until you approve the quote.
