iMac repair in Whitton, Twickenham

An iMac is not a laptop with a bigger screen. The glass, the display and the computer are one unit, and a 27-inch Intel machine is a different repair from a 24-inch M1. We work on both at 23 High Street, Whitton. There is no iMac price list on this site, because we do not have a signed-off figure for these jobs. The quote is made after a free look.

If you want a machine to take away today rather than a repair, the refurbished iMacs are on the shop page, graded and described the same way as the MacBooks. A repair and a replacement are both options. We will say which one makes sense once we have seen yours.

Screens, storage, and machines that will not start

Cracked iMac glass is usually from a corner impact or from something shut against the stand. The panel behind the glass may be fine, or it may not. We do not quote a "glass only" job until the display has been tested, and we do not publish a price we would then have to walk back. Bring it in. From Teddington or Twickenham it is a short trip; the computer is awkward rather than fragile in a car if it is screened with a blanket.

Many 2012 to 2019 Intel iMacs can have the drive dealt with. The 24-inch M1 has soldered storage, the same limitation we already state for M1 MacBooks, and nobody can fit a bigger drive. We will say that at the counter rather than take the machine apart to discover it.

A dead iMac needs a diagnosis, not a guess. On many Intel machines the files are still on a removable drive. On an M1 they are tied to the board, as on the MacBook data recovery page. Tell us whether you want a working iMac or the files.

Getting a large iMac here

A 27-inch travels on the back seat more happily than on the train from Twickenham. Hounslow, Isleworth, Feltham, Hanworth, Heston and Teddington are a short drive. Short-stay bays are on the High Street, and Percy Road car park is a two-minute walk.

Call 07918 440326 before you set off if the iMac is a 27-inch and you want to be sure there is bench space the same day. Walk-ins are still welcome. Opening hours are the ones already published on this site: Monday to Friday 09:00–18:30, Saturday 09:30–17:30, Sunday closed.

Questions we actually get

Do you repair the 24-inch M1 iMac?+
Yes, for faults that are actually repairable. Storage and memory on the M1 are soldered, so we cannot upgrade them. We will tell you that immediately rather than booking the machine in for an upgrade that cannot happen.
How much is an iMac screen?+
We do not publish a price. Glass-only and full display failures are different, and the part depends on the year and the size. The diagnosis is free and the quote is before any work.
Can you get my files off a dead iMac?+
Often. On many Intel iMacs the drive can be read even when the computer will not boot. On an M1 the storage is part of the board, as with MacBook data recovery. Say if you want the files rather than a repaired computer.
