Written warranty
iMac logic boards fail in three patterns: power delivery (no boot, fans only), GPU failure (boots to a black or distorted screen), and T2 or SoC lockup (chime, backlight, but no display handoff). Each has a different fix, and we'll quote your exact fault on WhatsApp.
On 2017-2020 27" Intel iMacs we work at component level - replacing the failed PMIC, MOSFET, capacitor or buck converter on the board itself. That's a 3-5 day job and costs far less than a full board swap. GPU rework on the discrete AMD Radeon Pro chip is also viable in many cases.
On 24" M-series iMacs the situation is harder. The SoC integrates CPU, GPU, RAM and Neural Engine on a single die. If the SoC dies, the board is dead. No micro-soldering can recover it. The realistic fixes are around the SoC: power delivery, ports, T2 secure subsystem on early Intel models. We'll always tell you which side of that line your fault sits on, and refund the diagnostic if a board swap is the only path and you'd rather replace the iMac.
Models & pricing
Which iMacs do you repair, and what does each model cost?
Every line below includes parts, labour, and a 15-day written warranty. No diagnostic fee, no surprise add-ons.
iMac 27" Intel (2017-2020) - power circuit
3-4 days
iMac 27" Intel (2017-2020) - GPU rework
4-5 days
iMac 27" Intel (2017-2020) - full board
5-7 days
iMac 24" M1 / M3 / M4 - port + power
3-4 days
iMac 24" M-series - SoC fault
5-7 days
iMac Pro 27" (2017) - board work
5-7 days
Component-level rework where SoC and PMIC are healthy. SoC failure on M-series often means a full board swap - we'll tell you upfront.
Common problems
What are the most common iMac problems?
The highest-volume tickets at the workshop. Match the symptom to find the typical fix and price.
Fan spins, no display
Boot completes but display handoff fails - usually GPU on Intel 27" iMacs (Radeon Pro 575/580). Reflow rarely lasts; we replace the GPU itself with reballed stock. Message us for a quote.
Three beeps at startup
RAM detection failure. On 27" Intel models RAM is user-replaceable from the rear hatch - we test stick-by-stick and reseat. If the RAM controller on the board has failed, board work needed.
T2 chip lockup (Intel 2018+)
iMac chimes, fans run, backlight comes on, then nothing - T2 secure subsystem fault. Specialised JTAG repair - message us for the price. Data preserved.
USB-C / Thunderbolt port dead
PD controller or retimer fault. Component-level fix - price depends on which port and which controller chip; message us for a quote.
Fan running at 100% from boot
Sensor or SMC fault on Intel iMacs; thermal sensor fault on M-series. Usually a board-level fix, sometimes a reseat. Diagnosed first.
Our process
How does the repair process work?
From WhatsApp to delivery. Each step has a fixed time estimate.
WhatsApp the symptoms
Tell us exactly what happens - chime, fan, screen. We give a likely cause and a price range before pickup.
Free pickup
Driver collects, soft-padded box. Dubai mainland, no charge.
Diagnosis (24 hours)
Power-rail check, scope on the relevant lines, identify the failed component. Open quote, no work without sign-off.
Component-level rework
Failed chip removed under a microscope, pads cleaned, replacement reballed and placed. IR rework station, controlled thermal profile.
Bench burn-in 48 hr
Stress test under load - CPU, GPU, ports, sensors. Catches intermittents before delivery.
Free delivery + warranty card
Back to you with a written warranty of up to 12 months and a photo log of the work done.
Guarantee
What warranty do you get?
- 15-day - written warranty on parts and labour, dated and signed.
- Covers the specific repair performed and adjacent rails on the same circuit.
- Excludes new failures elsewhere on the board (separate fault).
- Free re-work if the same fault returns within 12 months.
- How to claim: WhatsApp the warranty card photo to 055 741 3706. Same-day collection, free of charge.

iMac Logic Board Repair Dubai FAQ
- Because we replace the actual failed part - a single chip, the GPU, or the PMIC - instead of the entire logic board. The labour is high (microscope, hot-air station, JTAG) but it still works out at a fraction of board-swap pricing. Message us for your exact quote.
- No, and we're honest about that. On M-series iMacs (24" M1/M3/M4) the SoC integrates CPU, GPU and RAM on one die. If the SoC fails, no micro-soldering recovers it. We'll diagnose, tell you, and not charge for the diagnosis.
- Radeon Pro 575/580 chips on those models have a known fragile solder bond - Apple even ran a service programme for some serials. We replace the GPU with a reballed unit, full reflow profile. Lasts as long as a new board.
- On 27" Intel iMacs the SSD is a separate blade - your data is untouched. On T2-equipped models (2018+ Intel and iMac Pro) the SSD is encrypted with the board's secure key, so we have to keep the original board paired to the original SSD. We document this in the work log.
- T2 repair needs JTAG hardware, a paired backup of the secure enclave, and a much slower diagnostic process. Done wrong, the SSD becomes unreadable forever. The price reflects the time and the equipment, not arbitrary mark-up - message us for a quote.
- Yes - we see plenty of botched repairs. Diagnostic still free, but we'll document any pre-existing damage (lifted pads, missing components, wrong solder) before quoting. Sometimes the previous attempt limits what's recoverable.
- When done with proper hot-air, controlled profiles and quality replacement parts: as long as the original board would have. We use reballed Apple-spec chips, not aftermarket. The warranty of up to 12 months is paperwork - the actual lifespan is years.
- Sometimes yes. If your 2017 iMac needs major board work plus a new screen, we'll tell you straight - a refurbished M3 24" iMac is a better buy. Honest advice is the foundation of the workshop. Message us and we'll help you weigh it up.
