1. My laptop was slow and I decided to install a nvme to the laptop and change the battery because it is not working.

★★★★★

Had issues with my laptop speed and memory, with lag and overheating. In one day, I got it back fully serviced with all the issues cleared up and now my laptop runs smoother than ever.

Happy with the services provided. Professionally done with photos showing repairs work before and after. The boss came personally to install the SSD n my HD upon delivery. Impressive! All good n working fine.

What's going on

Older MacBook models with removable SSDs can be straightforwardly upgraded to larger, faster storage. Newer models with storage soldered to the logic board require more specialised chip-level work, which we also handle where technically possible. Either way, we back up and migrate your existing files, apps and settings so the upgraded machine feels exactly the same, just with more room.

Common signs to look out for

  • “Your disk is almost full” notifications
  • Apps and the OS itself running noticeably slower
  • Unable to save new files or install updates
  • Photos or video library refusing to sync
  • Frequent prompts to manage or optimise storage

What usually causes it

  • Original storage capacity too small for current use
  • Large media libraries (photos, video) accumulating over time
  • System caches and temporary files building up
  • No cloud storage strategy in place

How we diagnose this

01

Model compatibility check

We confirm whether your MacBook has removable storage or requires chip-level work for a soldered configuration.

02

Data backup

Your existing files, apps and settings are backed up before any hardware change.

03

Storage swap or chip-level upgrade

The upgrade is performed based on what your specific model supports.

04

Data migration & verification

Everything is restored onto the new storage and tested before handover.

Common questions

MacBook storage upgrade FAQs

Often, yes. Newer models with storage soldered to the logic board require more specialised chip-level work, which we handle where technically possible — we confirm feasibility for your exact model before quoting.
Storage upgrade with data migration is priced at current market rates, depending on the capacity you choose and whether your model requires chip-level work.
No — we back up and migrate your existing files, apps and settings as part of the upgrade, so the MacBook feels the same, just with more room.
Same-day is common when the part is in stock and the fault is straightforward — the Same day–2 days window mainly accounts for part availability for less common MacBook models. We confirm your actual timeline after diagnosis, not just the general range.
No — protecting your data is treated as seriously as the hardware fix itself. Where a repair could plausibly affect stored data, we back up what's accessible before starting work, and we never wipe or reformat a drive without your explicit go-ahead. If your MacBook won't boot at all, ask us about data recovery before assuming anything is lost.
Every repair carries our Standard Component Warranty, terms and conditions applying to labour and the fix itself. If a replacement part carries its own separate manufacturer or supplier warranty — batteries and SSDs typically do — that can extend further depending on the specific part, and we tell you exactly what applies to your repair before any work begins.
No. Basic live-agent assessment is always free at Dotronix, whether you approve the repair afterward or not. You only pay if you say yes to the quote we send you.
Both work, shaped to each hub. Book ahead with Our Live Agent for a guided workshop visit in Kepong, or visit our Kuchai Lama branch — call/WhatsApp first to confirm availability. Either way you get the same diagnosis and pricing.
Because they're genuinely separate jobs. The SSD swap itself just moves you to faster storage. Data recovery — pulling files off a dying drive — is more involved and priced by drive condition, and a fresh OS install is a distinct service some customers want and others don't need. Itemizing them means you only pay for what your situation actually requires.
