Shiv i Care
Students and researchers from Punjab Agricultural University and the surrounding colleges. This is the single most distinctive group we serve, and their problem is almost never the hardware.
A researcher's MacBook holds field data, analysis and a dissertation that may exist nowhere else. We have recovered exactly that kind of work from boards that would not power on. Two things follow. First: on any Apple Silicon or T2 machine the storage is soldered to the logic board, so replacing the board destroys the data permanently — a shop that offers a board swap is offering to delete your thesis. Second: stop using the machine the moment it misbehaves, and bring it in before submission week rather than during it.
Call or send a WhatsApp message with the model and the symptom before you travel. Diagnosis is free, and we would rather tell you over the phone that a trip is unnecessary than have you make it twice.

This is the single most consequential thing to know here. On any T2 or Apple Silicon Mac the storage is soldered to the logic board and encrypted to it, so replacing the board destroys the data permanently — there is no recovery afterwards. A machine that will not power on usually has a fault on the power circuitry with the data completely intact. Bring it in before anyone swaps anything.
