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. Get a free 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 - get a free quote 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; get a free 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 the quote form to handover. Each step has a fixed time estimate.
Send the symptoms
Tell us exactly what happens in the quote form - chime, fan, screen. We give a likely cause and a price range before you bring it in.
Bring it in
Walk in to Concord Tower, Dubai Media City, with parking on site - or book a same-day courier yourself and share the tracking link in the WhatsApp chat that opens after you send the quote form.
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 you collect it.
Collect + warranty card
Ready to collect with a 15-day written warranty 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 repaired fault returns inside the warranty period.
- Extendable to 6 months for a small flat fee - agreed on the quote, before work starts.
- How to claim: send us the warranty card photo through the quote form, then bring the device in to the workshop.

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. Get a free quote 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.
- Their Radeon Pro 575/580 (575X/580X on 2019) chips can crack their solder bond after years of heat cycling. We replace the GPU with a reballed unit, full reflow profile.
- 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 - get a free 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.
- That depends on heat and use, so there is no fixed lifespan to quote. We fit reballed Apple-spec chips, and the work carries our 15-day warranty.
- 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. Send us the details through the quote form and we'll help you weigh it up.
