IT Elite

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 this repair.

I was installing a new SSD in my PC on Friday afternoon when I realized I was missing a screw I needed to secure it. I called Adam up to see if he had one and he hooked me up with exactly what I needed. Thanks Adam!

Adam did an amazing job with my screen replacement was done in a couple hours, he has another one of my laptops can't wait to see the final product I know it's going to purr like new again.

Fixed my MacBook very quickly and did an amazing job. Knows their stuff, very professional. Drove my computer down from Scranton PA for them to fix and I would take the drive again in a heartbeat.

Many people recommended me to Adam. I am not from the area, so moving here and not knowing anyone is tough. Adam almost immediately responded to my email willing to help me. He even stayed after hours so my boyfriend could pick up my computer since I worked. If I have any other trouble. He fixed my 15 Mid 2010 MacBook Pro in less than an hour. He is reasonably priced and very helpful. Thank you Adam!

IT Elite Computer Service was the bomb. I had a 2011 17" Macbook pro that had graphic problems. It was a recall on the graphics card that Apple had made bad. I searched everywhere until I cam across "IT Elite Computer Service" boy did he fix the problem! Adam, the owner was super cool! Prices were fair. Service was above 5 stars! Thanks! Oh, I'm in Atlanta. He didn't charge a arm and a leg for shipping either!

I can't say enough good things about this company and their employees! Their super easy to use software and guide saved my 2011 macbook from the dreaded GPU issue. Thanks apple. Also, they are extremely responsive and helpful. Thanks again!

I was having trouble with my playstation 2 power button and called around a few stores for help. Adam from IT Elite Computer Service asked me to send him pictures of the issue and was able to assist me. For no charge at all I was given a thorough explanation of what the problem was and how to fix it. Not only did I not have to leave my house, but I saved myself from going to another repair shop and spending $120. I will 100% be returning for any other electronic issues in the future.

Adam is a very knowledgeable technician on, as I can see practically all electronics. I walked in there to have my favorite discontinued powered subwoofer fixed, because it fits perfectly like no other would in my sound room, and he was able to repair my old friend which has and will give me many more years of enjoyment. I am now having him repair another old friend, my Samsung 8000 series 3D LED 55 inch which has also given me years of enjoyment. I found a new best friend. Thanks Adam

Adam fixed my GPU issues on MacBook Pro late 2011 17 inch. And the process was painless. He knows his stuff. Sending your MacBook off for repair to someone you dont know can be nerve wracking, but IT Elite in Boyertown PA is the real deal - no funny business here. Now for the cons - Adam is super busy so he may not respond in a timely manner to your emails - hence I docked him one star for this.

Plus he didn't follow my shipping instruction to send my laptop to my pandemic address instead of my billing address. Adam could be protecting himself on this, so I did not fault him on this last point - I totally understand. So if your shipping and billing address is different, you may want to clarify this with Adam before you ship your device out to be repaired. Overall, Adam is the real deal. The guy knows his stuff and he gets my vote of confidence.

My 2011 Macbook Pro has been causing me problems for the better part of a year. I tried heating the GPU and putting fresh thermal paste on it. That worked, but only for a couple weeks. I then ran into Real Mac Mods and decided to risk $10 on their software fix. I added on the $5 Customer Service Option which I am so glad I did. I am a big time novice when it comes to computer repairs. Adam was able to walk me through every dead end I found myself in.

I performed the steps to remove the GPU's resistor and ran into another problem with my screen being dead. The next day Adam was still available to walk me through the fix. I'm now writing this review on a fully functioning Macbook Pro and am so happy. This was easily the best $15 I have ever spent on any computer related repair in my life. Thank you so much Adam for being patient and having the ability to walk me through what to do at each step in a way even a novice could understand. I'd rate them 6/5 stars if I could.

My 2011 MacBook Pro started randomly shutting down and would get stuck on the grey loading screen. I was about to spend a couple thousand dollars for a new laptop when I learned about Adam's fix. I sent it in to be repaired and it is back to normal again. Adam was prompt answering all my questions throughout the process. So relieved I have my laptop back for less than $160 including shipping!

Honest, fair, and trustworthy. I had a 1 TB external hard drive fail on me with years of business and personal data. In about a week, Adam was able to fully recover all of my data. The reviews are accurate. I spoke to various data recovery services and decided to take a chance with IT Elite. Absolutely no regrets. Give him the business, we all need someone like him around to help out when electronic devices fail.

Adam did an AMAZING job at fixing my MacBook pro! After dealing with the Apple store and one of their "certified apple" repair stores, I called IT Elite and Adam repaired my computer within 24 hours and was able to save ALL of my information on my computer, despite what the Apple people told me. My computer is faster then ever before and I could not be happier with his customer service and pricing! 5 stars without a doubt!
