How much does MacBook GPU Repair in Dubai cost?

MacBook GPU Repair in Dubai starts from AED 800. Typical turnaround: 3-5 days. All repairs include a 15-day written warranty on parts and labour, free pickup and delivery across Dubai mainland, and same-day completion on most common services.
- 12-month written warranty
- No fix, no charge
- 30-min appointment repairs
MacBook GPU repair in Dubai mostly means one thing: 2016-2019 MacBook Pros with discrete AMD Radeon Pro 555 / 560 / 5300M / 5500M chips that develop solder-bond cracks under thermal cycling. Symptoms: kernel panics during 4K video playback, garbled lines on the display, random black screens, machine boots fine then dies under GPU load.
We replace the GPU die with reballed Apple-spec stock - not a reflow (which buys weeks at most). Done with controlled hot-air profile and fresh BGA balls. Lasts as long as the original. Apple Silicon MacBooks (M1+) have integrated GPUs on the SoC and are not separately repairable.

What we fix
- Black screen on boot but chime plays
- Vertical lines or pixel garbage on display
- Kernel panics specifically during graphics work
- Boots to internal display but external monitor dead
- Machine works on integrated graphics but crashes on discrete
- GPU shows in System Report but glitches under load
- Thermal shutdown specifically during GPU-heavy tasks
- Display ribbon ok but image distorted at high refresh
How it works
Confirm GPU vs display vs cable
Boot in safe mode (forces integrated graphics on Intel), test external display, scope GPU rails. Diagnosis 24 hours.
Quote
Reballed GPU stock confirmed against your model. Voice-note quote with success-rate honest assessment.
GPU desolder + reballed install
Old GPU lifted under microscope, BGA pads cleaned, new reballed chip placed with controlled thermal profile.
72 hr burn-in
Sustained graphics load (Cinebench GPU, Final Cut export, 4K playback). Catches any retained issues.
15-day written warranty
- • Covers the GPU chip and the immediate solder bond.
- • Excludes new physical impact or liquid damage.
- • Free re-work if the same GPU fault returns inside 12 months.

FAQ
- Apple ran these GPUs at the edge of their thermal envelope to fit them in the slim chassis. After 3-4 years of thermal cycling, the BGA solder bonds develop micro-cracks. Apple even ran a service programme for some 15" MacBook Pro 2018/2019 serials. We see this fault every week.
- Because reflow is a temporary fix - it re-melts the existing solder bonds to bridge the cracks. The cracks come back within weeks because the underlying thermal fatigue is unchanged. Reballing replaces the entire BGA bond with fresh balls, restoring original durability.
- No, honestly. The GPU is fused into the SoC die alongside the CPU and unified memory. If the GPU fails, the entire SoC has failed, and SoC failure means board swap - no chip-level rework is possible. We diagnose for free and tell you.
- When done correctly: as long as the original Apple solder bond, often longer because we use higher-melt-point lead-free balls. The 12-month warranty is paperwork - actual lifespan is 4-6 years.
- No. The GPU is on the logic board but separate from the SSD circuit. We don't touch your storage.
- Free diagnosis confirms which. If it's the display panel, that's a different fix (AED 1,200-1,800) and we tell you upfront. We don't charge for GPU work that wasn't needed.
