The Stem Support is a small shop at 6415 Bowness Rd NW, Calgary. We MacBook repair Calgary that are out of warranty, that the Apple Store told you to replace, and that other shops said weren’t worth the trouble. Our reviews are full of old Macs we brought back to life.
What we fix on MacBooks and iMacs
- Batteries. It dies off the charger, macOS says “Service Recommended”, or the trackpad is being pushed up by a swelling battery. A swelling battery is urgent, so stop charging it and bring it in.
- Screens. Cracked displays, lines, backlight failure, and the “stage light” effect on 2016 to 2018 MacBook Pros.
- Keyboards. Sticky, repeating or dead keys, including the butterfly keyboards from 2015 to 2019. Apple’s worst keyboard, and we’ve replaced plenty.
- Liquid damage. Coffee, wine, or a cat on the water glass. Shut it down, don’t try to turn it back on, and bring it in fast. Corrosion gets worse by the hour.
- Logic board repair. No power, no charge, no display, or a kernel panic loop. We diagnose it here, and board-level work goes to the best microsoldering tech in Calgary. You get specialist repair with one point of contact: us.
- Charging and USB-C ports, MagSafe issues, and a dead trackpad

Common questions
Is my old MacBook worth fixing? Often it is. A battery or screen costs far less than a new Mac. If yours is past its last supported macOS, we’ll say so and help you plan the next one.
Can you get data off a Mac that won’t turn on? In a lot of cases, yes, including some Apple Silicon Macs. It depends on what failed. We take the recovery of your important files and memories very important! Bring it in for a diagnosis.
How long does a MacBook repair take? Diagnosis takes a day or two. Once you approve the quote we order the part fresh, not from a dusty shelf, so you get the latest production part, current pricing and the maximum warranty. Repair time after that depends on the part.
