Product Details
Is a USB-C port on your MacBook Pro 14" or 16" loose, only charging at an angle, or not working at all? Each USB-C (Thunderbolt) port sits on its own small board, so a new USB-C port board is usually the repair you need.
This board fits the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro from 2021 to 2023, with M1 Pro, M1 Max, M2 Pro or M2 Max chips, and the 14-inch M3 A2918. Charging problem on the MagSafe side? We also stock the MacBook Pro 14"/16" MagSafe 3 charging port board.
Part Includes:
- 1x USB-C port board with flex cable and connector
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Does NOT fit the M3 Pro or M3 Max MacBook Pro (14" A2992, 16" A2991), the 2024 M4 models or the 13" MacBook Pro. Check the A-number on the bottom case for your model.
Please Note
One board carries one USB-C port. Most 14" and 16" models have three (the M3 14" A2918 has two), so check which one is faulty before you order.
Please Note
The USB-C boards sit under the logic board, so the logic board has to come out to fit it.

Here are some helpful tips to assist you in completing a safe repair on your device. If you are unsure of something or have any questions, please feel free to contact us either by phone (0508 IGADGET) or by email
- Run
sudo nvram BootPreference=%00in Terminal first (macOS Sequoia or later) so the MacBook doesn't switch on when you open it or plug it in. Undo it afterwards withsudo nvram -d BootPreference - Always power down your device prior to working on it
- Drain the battery below 25% before you start on this repair
- The bottom case is held by eight P5 pentalobe screws in two lengths. Track your screws on a magnetic work mat or tape them to a drawing of your laptop, as several screws look alike but are different lengths
- Disconnect the battery before anything else: release the battery board data cable, remove the T5 screw on the battery power connector and lift it with a spudger. Slide an opening pick under it so it can't touch the socket
- The logic board has to come out. It is held by T5 and T6 screws, with T3 screws on the cable covers. Lift all of its connectors clear before you lift the board, and refit it with the HDMI and SD card side first. On the 16", two standoffs need a 4 mm nut driver
- Reconnect press connectors by pressing one end down and then the other, never the middle, which can bend pins. The fan cables are stuck down, so peel them up slowly with tweezers
- Start the board screws loosely, plug an unpowered USB-C cable into the port to line the board up, then tighten them. A port that sits out of line makes the plug feel stiff or loose
