IT Elite Computer Service — Attraction in Boyertown

I have a 2011 17" Macbook Pro with the dreaded GPU issue. I've had it replaced by Apple twice, first under warranty, and the second time charged an arm and a leg. When the GPU died again in 2021 I was considering scrapping the laptop. However, it is still working great for everything I use it for and thus reluctant to buy a new one.

I searched online and came across IT Elite and Real Mac Mods. Their solution is to bypass the dedicated graphics card so the computer utilize the integrated graphics only. This way the computer will work the same way as a 13" model. On their website they have posted all instructions with pictures on how to perform the repair yourself. If you are like me and not too comfortable with a soldering tool they also offer to send it in. The price for the modification is more than reasonable and the return time is good. The technician suggested I replace my keyboard as well as it was not functioning properly (known issue) and this was also done for a very reasonable price.

I am very happy with this service and I am excited that this very competent computer got its life extended by a few years as a result of...

My faithful Dell laptop shut off suddenly while I was in the middle of doing something. It was dead, would not restart, would not power up. Did a quick internet search on my phone and came across IT ELITE COMPUTER SERVICE. To say I was desperate was an understatement. My worry was that I had just lost thousands of family photos when my laptop crashed. I went to IT ELITE, decided to give them a try at fixing my laptop. I met Adam, who is extremely nice. After a day to review what was wrong with my laptop, he called with an estimate and told me it could be repaired! I was honestly surprised. The cost of repair was quite reasonable considering what needed to be fixed or replaced. And best of all, Adam was able to save all of my treasured photos and documents. For that I will be forever grateful. If you are in need of any computer repair, avoid the idiots at the big box stores and see Adam at IT ELITE. As far as I am concerned he performed a miracle for me. Adam knows his stuff. Why bother going anywhere else? IT ELITE is the best, if I could give more than 5...

Candidly, I was originally skeptical that my 15" Late 2011 MacBook Pro graphics card failure could be repaired by IT Elite's Real MAC Mods solution. Graphic card failures are a common issue for the 2011 MacBook Pros and the other alternatives of replacing the graphics card for $800 plus seemed foolish, even more foolish than buying a new 2018 MacBook Pro for $2900 plus. I checked with two local computer repair shops who thought the publicized repair would work; however, neither was willing to work on the motherboard. So I sent my MacBook cross country to IT Elite.

Approximately, three weeks later my MacBook was returned repaired. After two weeks of consistent use, my MacBook Pro operates flawlessly and runs much cooler...all as promised by IT Elite. Overall, repairs, shipping and insurance cost less than $150 and I have a fully functional laptop again. Although I expect to buy a replacement in a year or so, at the moment I'm ahead $2700 +.
