- Your original board β your data stays put
- 60β80% cheaper than board replacement
- Preserves pairing with Touch ID / Secure Enclave
- Backed by 12-month ZA Support warranty
- Completed in 48β72 hours in most cases
Board Replacement (When Necessary)
- βRequired only when repair is not feasible
- βHigher cost β full board + installation
- βLoss of pairing on Touch ID-dependent features
- βData migration required (if SSD changes)
- βStill includes 12-month ZA Support warranty
- βUsed for: severe burn damage, multiple failed chips
