If we can’t fix your device or you don’t approve the price, you don’t pay for the repair attempt. There’s no fine print and no surprises.
Repair or Replace Your MacBook Charging Port
The Apple MacBook’s charging ports can become damaged with constant plug-ins and outs. Our clients often complain that their MacBook is refusing to charge, or they have to wiggle the cable to get that green light. Here are the most common issues we deal with:
- USB port not working or getting loose. Years of plugging and unplugging the charger put mechanical stress on the port’s internal pins.
- Charging port burned out. Using a low-quality or faulty charger can lead to an electrical short circuit. This will cause the port to smell or have black stains.
- MagSafe charging port deteriorates. Over time, the magnets in MagSafe ports attract tiny metallic debris. Plus, the pins can get stuck due to wear and tear.
- Charging issues after water damage. Liquid in the charging port can cause corrosion. If not treated, it can migrate deeper into the motherboard.
At Repairs Bay, we can manage these problems. We diagnose and fix the power systems of almost all MacBook models. Depending on the issue, we will replace the port assembly, deep clean the magnetic housing, remove the damaged port modules, or extract debris.
The First Essential Step: MacBook Diagnostics
To find the best long-term solution, we run full diagnostics of the charging ports. This starts at $99 and serves to protect you.
We diagnose first to make sure you don’t pay for an unnecessary port replacement when the real issue is something else. Sometimes, it’s the battery that’s not working correctly. Overheating from chargers can also burn out the pins, which looks similar to port damage.
We’ll notify you once the problem has been identified before beginning your MacBook charging port repair. If you proceed, the fee will be included in the total cost. We charge for control and confidence, not for making assumptions.

How We Handle MacBook Port Repairs
Many MacBook owners come to us after being burned at other repair facilities. They want to be sure they won’t face hidden fees, low-grade parts, or poor repairs. The good news is that our processes minimize these risks.
With us, you get safety and certainty:
- You’ll know and approve the MacBook charging port repair costs before we start.
- You learn all the repair details before you check out, so there are no surprises.
- During hardware-only repairs, we don’t access your data, Apple ID, or passwords.
Unlike Apple, we offer component-level repairs rather than full board replacements when possible. Our professionals will start by cleaning the device using compressed air or erasers, then test the chargers. If needed, they will remove the P5 Pentalobe screws, disconnect the battery cables, and replace the port board. We fix what’s actually broken.
The Dual Service Model: Your Device Is in Expert Hands
Repairs Bay Brooklyn has been operating for over 20 years. We are a Bensonhurst shop backed by the iFix New York network. This means we have access to an advanced internal repair lab in Manhattan.
All simple and mid-level MacBook charging port replacements and repairs, such as the restoration of power delivery or data transfer, are handled on-site. For more complex cases, we use our lab, which is equipped for microscope-level component repairs. Your device will remain with our network, subject to our standard procedures.
If it cannot be fixed in the Manhattan lab, it is likely that it is beyond cost-effective repair elsewhere.

FAQ
Can a MacBook charging port be fixed?
Yes, in many standard cases, the Apple charging port can be fixed. We’ve been doing it for over 20 years. However, we advise customers to purchase a new port if we anticipate that the current one will not last long after a repair.
How much does it cost to fix a MacBook charging port?
The cost of replacing the charging connector on a MacBook differs from the cost of repairing it. After the diagnosis, we will inform you of both costs. Either way, the price will be lower than at the Apple Store.
What’s the difference between repair and replacement?
Repair involves cleaning debris, straightening bent pins, or fixing loose connections. Replacement means installing a new port assembly. We’ll run diagnostics and recommend the most cost-effective Apple repair service to ensure lasting reliability.
What if my charger is the problem, not the port?
Sometimes the issue is a faulty charging cable or adapter, not the Mac laptop charging port itself. We’ll identify the actual problem during the professional check before recommending a solution.
How long does a MacBook charging port replacement take?
We aim to complete most repairs and replacements the same or next day, as long as there are spare parts for your model in stock. Generally, the process takes a couple of hours. Occasionally, we need to order in parts, which can take around 2–5 days.
repair estimate
MacBook charging port repair starts at $185. Importantly, by repairing individual parts, we save our customers money. So, the cost is lower than Apple’s full service for multi-port arrays. Typically, repairs take a couple of hours (same-day or next-day service).
The MacBook model and the type of damage are the main determinants of the Mac repair cost. Repairing a port on a MacBook Pro is more difficult than on a MacBook Air. The MacBook Pro features a top case that must be removed before work can commence.
