What you can mail to LapFix

MacBook Repair:

We accept MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, iMac and Mac mini, and many other Apple products, including no-power failures, charging problems, liquid damage, logic-board faults, and other internal hardware issues. Contact us first if the device has already been disassembled, shows signs of severe burning, is actively wet, or has already received board-level work elsewhere.

Data Recovery:

You can mail in a laptop, MacBook, hard drive, SSD, external drive, or any storage device, as well as tablets and phones, for professional data recovery. Our technicians assess each case individually, since recovery outcomes depend on factors like the device, encryption, prior recovery attempts, and type of failure. All recoveries are handled in-house by our own experienced technicians, with no work outsourced to third parties, and physical drive recovery is performed in a certified cleanroom environment to protect against contamination.

International Customers

If you live outside the United States, We do offer international service, but please contact us first before shipping so we can confirm eligibility and documentation requirements.

For repairs (not data recovery), we recommend checking for a local repair shop first — international shipping adds cost, time, and customs complications, and it’s often faster to go local. For data recovery, we welcome international clients and encourage you to reach out.

We value all our international clients, but due to the challenges of customs handling, import regulations, and transit risks, we strongly recommend contacting us first.

Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers!

Can I mail my device to LapFix from any U.S. state?

Yes. LapFix accepts qualifying mail-in repair and data-recovery cases from all 50 states. Complete the work order and wait for your ticket number and shipping instructions before sending the device.

What devices can I mail in?

We accept qualifying MacBook Pro and MacBook Air computers, many Windows laptops, and supported storage devices for data recovery. Contact us before shipping an iMac, desktop computer, loose board, disassembled device, heavily modified system, or a device that has received previous repair work.

What happens after my computer arrives?

What happens after my device arrives?
We check in and document the shipment, match it to your ticket, and evaluate the reported problem. After diagnosis, we contact you with the findings, recommended service, estimated completion time, and expected charges before repair work begins.

How long does diagnosis and repair take?

The typical diagnostic turnaround is one business day after check-in. Repair time varies based on the failure, parts availability, prior repair attempts, and the work required. We provide a case-specific timeline after diagnosis.

Can I mail in a MacBook with liquid damage?

Qualifying liquid-damaged MacBooks may be accepted after the device is completely dry. Do not continue using or charging it. Contact LapFix before shipping if the MacBook is actively wet, has a swollen battery, has severe burn damage, or was previously repaired.

Can I mail in a laptop that will not turn on if I only need the data?

Yes. We can evaluate a nonworking laptop or MacBook for data recovery even when repairing the computer is not the priority. Recovery options depend on the storage design, encryption, and cause of failure.

Should I include my charger?

Include the charger when the problem involves charging or power, or when LapFix asks for it. Otherwise, do not include unrelated accessories, cases, adapters, or external devices.

Can I ship internationally?

Contact LapFix before sending any international shipment. The customer is responsible for shipping costs, customs fees, taxes, duties, insurance, and transit risk. Because international shipping can add significant cost and delay, a qualified local provider may be the more practical option.

How do I start the mail-in repair process?

Simply complete our mail-in repair request form at this link with your contact information, device details, and a description of the problem. Once your request has been reviewed, we’ll provide shipping instructions so you can send your computer to our Alexandria repair facility for diagnosis.

I enjoyed working with Eric at LapFix. He was very accommodating to my needs. He explained what it would take to remove the hard drive, and replace it with a new hard drive. They kept me informed of their progress. Excellent customer service and very professional staff. I appreciate their work. They recovered files that we have not seen for a long time. I heartily recommend them.

My hard drive hasn’t been working in nearly two decades. I thought I would never get to see my old photos/videos of when I served in the military. Thankfully LapFix recovered all that and more. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

I had an excellent experience with LapFix and can't recommend them enough! Eric was incredibly helpful throughout the entire repair process. My MacBook had an issue with the battery connection after I accidentally damaged it while attempting a repair myself, and he took the time to diagnose and fix everything.

From start to finish, the communication was great, the turnaround time was quick, the customer service and the price was outstanding. They kept me updated along the way and made sure everything was working properly before returning my laptop.
I've been using my MacBook since getting it back, and it's running perfectly. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in the quality of their work.

Thank you again, Eric, and the entire LapFix team for getting my laptop back up and running. I'll definitely be recommending you to anyone who needs computer repairs!

I had a Lenovo business laptop worth over $2,000 with a completely damaged screen, and a Microsoft Surface with a cracked screen. I honestly thought both were beyond repair and was already considering buying new devices.
I had checked with Best Buy and a few other places, but no one was able to help. I found Lapfix by chance and decided to try one last time. They looked at both laptops, explained what could be done, and successfully repaired both.
The Lenovo screen repair cost less than $300 and was completed in less than a week. For the Microsoft Surface, they also had to work on the software and chip-related issues, and the total was still less than $800. That repair took less than two weeks.
Now both laptops are working perfectly, and I’m very happy with the service. The work was professional, honest, and technically solid. As someone with a background in IT and cybersecurity, I was genuinely impressed.
If you think your laptop cannot be fixed, I recommend checking with them first before spending money on a new one.

I came in panicked about liquid damage to my laptop and decided to trust the team at LapFix with the repair. It turned out to be the best decision I could have made. They fixed it quickly, and although I had one small issue afterward that required a return visit, they resolved it promptly and thoroughly. Throughout the process, they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend LapFix to anyone in need of computer repairs. Thank you!

Interaction was good, I took my pc for fan replacement and the waved the fee they would’ve normally charged for diagnostics. Picked up my Pc in great working condition and it is working fine so far so I recommend them! They also filled in some screws that were missing from the back board of my pc which I thought was a nice touch. Very professional environment.

Stopped by last Friday with a laptop with no sign of life that my IT dept just said to replace. Mason got back to me with by noon on Monday with a solution and it was fixed by Wednesday evening and at much lower price than buying a new one. Quick, easy and convenient. 10/10 would recommend

I had a motherboard failure on a very important business laptop with specific software on it. I brought it to a different shop and wasted hundreds of dollars and weeks of time for nothing. They said the motherboard was “fried”.

I brought it to LapFix and Eric was able to fix the motherboard and repair the BIOS so it could finally boot. I am so unbelievably grateful to Eric and the team at Lapfix for saving this important piece of hardware for my business. Thank you so much!! Eric is a wizard!

LapFix gave me a quick diagnosis and repair of my out-of-warranty laptop. Their price was reasonable, and Mason answered all my questions about policy, pricing, and repair times.
Mason completed the work sooner than expected and saved me the considerable replacement cost of a laptop that had become unusable.
I would highly recommend this business. They are professional, provide quick responses to communications, and solved a problem that other repair services I consulted were unable to address.

The shop was easy to reach and offered clear, upfront communication about the process. They provided a detailed estimate with a breakdown of the expected costs. I appreciated how transparent they were about the potential issues, and they even suggested a couple of options for how to move forward depending on what they found during the diagnosis. The repairs were completed faster than I expected—just a few days instead of the 7–10 business days that other shops had quoted me. Highly recommend these guys

Lapfix was great! Having my M1 MacBook Pro go out on me while I’m in the middle of planning and editing footage, mixing and mastering music was extremely stressful. Through my research of what I can possibly do to fix my MacBook I found Lapfix on YouTube. I got to see videos of Eric fixing MacBooks with the same problem mine had on the Lapfix YouTube channel. That made me realize this is way beyond my scope of what I can do. Plus I had crucial data on there that was really really important. Thankfully the process of sending my computer to their store in Alexandria, VA was easy and they kept me informed the whole entire time. They got all the data back and fixed my laptop. I would not wish anything bad on anyone’s expensive computer, but in the case something did happen—Lapfix is definitely the place that can bring it back to life.

LapFix provided accurate diagnostics and timely repairs at reasonable pricing. We did experience delays with the required part being delivered, but LapFix remained communicative and accommodating with timelines and additional information. Overall a very positive experience for what could have been a frustrating issue to solve.
Great diagnostic and communication throughout the repair
