Common MacBook Neo A3404 faults we repair
- Cracked screens
- Liquid damage
- USB-C charging faults
- Keyboard and trackpad faults
Every repair starts with a diagnosis, and we give you a fixed price before any work. If the fault is on the logic board, we repair it at component level instead of replacing the whole board.
Data recovery from the A3404
The MacBook Neo A3404 has its storage soldered to the logic board and encrypted by the Apple silicon chip, so data recovery depends on getting the logic board working.
The encryption keys live inside the chip, so the files cannot be read from the storage chips on their own. We repair the board at component level, start the Mac, and copy your data off. We will need your login password.
Upgrades
- Storage: not upgradeable in the usual way, because it is fixed to the board. Ask us whether a chip-level upgrade is possible.
- Memory: Built into the Apple silicon chip package, so it can't be upgraded.

Questions
Where do I find the model number?
Turn the MacBook Neo over. The model number starts with A and is printed in small grey type on the bottom case, near the hinge.
Can you get my files off a MacBook Neo A3404 that will not turn on?
The encryption keys live inside the chip, so the files cannot be read from the storage chips on their own. We repair the board at component level, start the Mac, and copy your data off. We will need your login password.
Is a MacBook Neo A3404 worth repairing?
Yes. A MacBook Neo A3404 is a recent Mac, and a component-level board repair costs far less than a new logic board or a new Mac.
Do you need my password?
Yes, for data recovery and for testing after a repair. The storage on this Mac is encrypted, and your login password is what unlocks it. You can enter it on the booking form; we keep it encrypted and delete it when the job is finished.
