This one really got to me! This is why nobody trusts the service industry!
This one really got to me! This is why nobody trusts the service industry! There are so many things wrong with this case. I’ll never take your money without counseling you about what I would do, even if that means you walk out of MacMedics without spending a dime! Honesty: The #1 reason I am

Don’t get fooled when buying a refurbished or used Mac from eBay, Amazon, or Walmart.

Please don’t give up on a sick Mac because the Apple Store says it won’t turn on!
Don’t give up on a sick Mac just because the Apple Store says it won’t turn on. Thankfully, the customer who owns this MacBook Pro 16” from 2019 was referred to MacMedics by the Apple Store. I got it up and running while they waited. The unit was having some power port issues, and the
