James is a master at his craft. Had a mishap with a one year new MacBook Pro screen. James replaced…read morethe screen and being technical myself I was concerned about Apple's lockdown, anti right to repair behaviour and part pairing. This requires certain work around to be able to achieve full functionality of the replaced part. For example, the display control chip and the code chip need to be removed from the old screen and re soldered to the new one. Upon receiving the laptop, from what I can see, True Tone, ambient light sensors and front facing camera are working.

What to do when Apple has a defective product, does a secret repair service and does not tell you…read moreabout it until your unit gets affected and they have already closed the secret program? Well you can go see a genius and have them tell you that they need close to $1000 to fix it. I think not! I decided to find a good component level repair person. I did a bunch of looking around and decided to call James Wu at Unitak Laptop Repair. After communicating with him over email, I decided to trust my MacBook Pro15 Retina to him and also took my MacBook Air 11 as well. I've suffered a lot of Apple Loss this year. An iPad lost it's wifi and iPhone7 lost it's microphone (Apple, in an internal memo agreed to fix their blunder but decided not to do it after all - check out MacRumors site about it) and the aforementioned notebooks. Ugh...these things didn't really happen with Jobs was on the job! James agreed to meet me at the Parkway Shoppes store which he rents a room at K&J Camera Services. The little room cluttered with notebook pieces and equipment littered everywhere had me a little uneasy but after a quick talk with him and witnessing how quickly he broke down the the 15" notebook and tested it - I knew I came to the right place. He told me that the graphics chip wasn't gone and proceeded to explain the process. I asked him to proceed and also asked him to replace the screen on the Air 11. As quick as I was checking my phone for messages and such, he took the whole Air apart and replaced the screen with a spare unit he had. I think it took a whole 15mins to do that repair. I left the Pro with him and the next day, I got back the notebook as if nothing had happened to it. He was really fair with his prices and I now have a place to get all my notebooks serviced for me and my clients. I got both notebooks repaired for HALF of repairing just ONE! Don't bother with the Genius Bar - where they want you to replace the whole circuit board (easy repair), take it to the True Genius at Unitak! Anyone who knows me professionally knows that I am not easily impressed by tech peeps. I am very impressed with James. CHEERS!

He replaced my Dell laptop hard drive with solid state one for a very good price, and even bought my old hard drive! My computer is like new, and for much less than the cost of a new one. He also has done a great job fixing my old Macs throughout the years. Unless you like over-paying for repairs at the Apple Store, he is the one to go to. Good prices, honest and quick service - highly recommended!

My father was present during the interaction. The business also advertises "free estimates" on its website and does not clearly disclose diagnostic pricing. I would recommend that customers confirm all fees in writing before leaving their device.

At first Eduardo couldn't locate my files, but with persistence and some detective work found my files in an unusual file location. He was able to recover the files (7 years of work, consisting of 120 GB). what a relief. I recommend IGS with 100% confidence they can resolve your issues, or outfit you with a refurbished computer.
