Living or working in Mount Pleasant and dealing with a cracked MacBook screen, a Mac that won't turn on, or a battery that barely lasts an hour? PCC Computers repairs MacBooks, iMacs and Mac Minis for Mount Pleasant residents from our Wollongong CBD store, just a five-minute drive away on Keira Street. Walk in for a diagnostic, or book a courier pickup if getting into town isn't convenient — either way, you'll get a straight answer on what's wrong and what it costs before any work starts.
Common Mac Problems We Fix for Mount Pleasant Customers
Mount Pleasant's mix of established family homes and newer builds means we see a wide spread of Mac issues come through the door — from ageing MacBooks that have been reliable for a decade to brand-new models with early hardware faults. The most common calls we get from the area include:
- Cracked, black, or flickering MacBook screens
- MacBook won't turn on, boot loops, or the dreaded spinning wheel that never stops
- Battery swelling, rapid battery drain, or a MacBook that only runs while plugged in
- Liquid damage from spilled coffee or water — the sooner it comes in, the better the odds
- Sticky, unresponsive, or missing keys on butterfly and scissor-switch keyboards
- Slow performance, overheating, or fans running constantly
- iMac and Mac Mini power issues, display faults, and failing hard drives or SSDs
- Data recovery from Macs that won't start up at all
MacBook Repairs
We repair every current MacBook line — MacBook Air, MacBook Pro (Intel and Apple Silicon), and older MacBook models still doing the rounds in Mount Pleasant households. Typical repairs include:
- Screen and display replacement, including Retina and Mini-LED panels
- Battery replacement for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, all generations
- Keyboard and trackpad replacement, including butterfly-keyboard models
- Logic board diagnosis and repair — often a cheaper alternative to a full board swap
- Charging port, MagSafe, and USB-C port repair
- Hard drive and SSD upgrades for a genuine speed boost on older machines
iMac & Mac Mini Repairs
Desktop Macs get the same attention as laptops. We handle iMac screen and display repair, power supply faults, failing hard drives, and Mac Mini upgrades — including RAM and storage upgrades that can add years of useful life to an otherwise healthy machine. If your Mac won't start up at all, our data recovery service gives you the best chance of getting your photos, documents and files back before we touch the hardware fix.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair Macs for people in Mount Pleasant?
Yes. Mount Pleasant is serviced from our Wollongong CBD store at 132 Keira Street, roughly a five-minute drive away. Walk in with your Mac or book a courier pickup if that's easier.
How much does MacBook screen repair cost?
Cost depends on the model and whether it's a full display assembly or a standalone panel. We give you an exact price after a diagnostic, before any work starts — never a guess over the phone.
Can you fix a MacBook that won't turn on?
In most cases, yes. A Mac that won't power on can be a battery, logic board, or charging fault, and our diagnostic identifies the actual cause rather than guessing at parts to replace.
Do you repair MacBooks with liquid damage?
Yes. The sooner it comes in after a spill, the better the chance of a full recovery — power it off immediately and bring it in rather than trying to dry it out at home.
How long does a MacBook repair take?
Common repairs like screens, batteries and keyboards are usually done same day or next day. More involved logic board or data recovery jobs may take longer, and we'll give you a timeframe upfront.
Do you use genuine Apple parts?
We use genuine and quality-matched parts depending on the repair and part availability, and we'll always tell you which applies to your job before you approve the quote.
Is there a walk-in store near Mount Pleasant?
Yes — our Wollongong CBD store at 132 Keira Street is the nearest walk-in location, about a five-minute drive from Mount Pleasant.
Can I get my Mac picked up instead of dropping it off?
Yes, courier pickup and drop-off is available for Mount Pleasant customers who can't get into the Wollongong CBD store.
Do you recover data from a Mac that won't start?
Yes, data recovery is available as a standalone service or alongside a hardware repair, so we can attempt to retrieve your files before or instead of a full repair.
Do you offer a warranty on Mac repairs?
Yes, all repairs completed at PCC Computers are backed by warranty — details are confirmed on your quote before work begins.
