Sell Your Broken MacBook in Dallas, TX

Cracked screen, dead battery, liquid damage, won't boot — we still want to see it. Caldex Systems buys damaged MacBooks in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. Text us a photo and we'll make an offer, usually within the hour.

What We Buy

We're interested in broken MacBooks for parts and repair. If it's an Apple laptop, text us — even if you think it's not worth anything. Here are the most common issues we see:

Cracked or Broken Screen

The display is the most commonly damaged part on a MacBook. A cracked screen doesn't make the machine worthless — the logic board, keyboard, trackpad, and SSD often survive perfectly. We'll buy it.

Liquid Damage (Water or Coffee)

Spill damage varies widely. Some machines recover completely; others just need a board cleaning or a component swap. Either way, text us with what model you have and what happened — we'll let you know if we're interested.

Won't Turn On / Dead

A MacBook that won't power on can have several causes — a failed battery, a blown fuse on the board, or a dead charging port. The parts from a non-booting M1 MacBook are still worth good money.

Bad Battery

If your MacBook dies fast or won't hold a charge, it's still a working machine with a tired battery. We buy these — the repair is straightforward and the rest of the computer is fine.

Keyboard Issues

Stuck keys, missing keycaps, or a butterfly keyboard (2016–2019 models) that has given up — we've seen it all. If the screen works and it turns on, it's worth an offer.

Other Issues

Bent chassis, missing bottom case, broken trackpad, bad charging port, intermittent startup issues — send us a photo and describe what's going on. We'll be straight with you about whether we're interested.

What We Pay for Broken MacBooks

Damaged MacBook prices vary more than working units — condition, model year, and which parts are intact all matter. These are approximate ranges for units we've bought:

These are estimates. The actual offer depends on what we can confirm in person. Text us with photos and a description first — we'll give you a number before we commit to the meetup.

How the Process Works

1. Text 214-529-7133 with a photo of your MacBook and a description of the problem. Include the model if you know it (found in Apple menu → About This Mac).
2. We reply with a cash offer — usually within an hour. If we need more photos or details, we'll ask.
3. Accept and arrange pickup. We meet at a convenient public location in DFW — Starbucks, Target, anywhere near you. We inspect in person.
4. Get paid on the spot. Cash or Venmo, whichever you prefer. The whole meetup takes under 10 minutes.

Why Sell to Us Instead of Other Options

vs. Tossing it or leaving it in a drawer

A broken MacBook sitting in a closet is worth $0. Even a dead M1 MacBook is worth $50–$150 to the right buyer. That's money you could have in your pocket today.

vs. Apple Trade-In

Apple's trade-in program gives you store credit toward a new device — not cash. And for damaged units, their estimates often come back low or zero after inspection. We pay cash, in person, with no adjustment after the fact.

vs. Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist

Listing a broken MacBook yourself takes time, attracts lowball offers, and involves dealing with strangers making appointments they don't keep. We make one offer, one meetup, done.

vs. Mail-in Buyers

Mail-in services almost always reduce their initial estimate after they receive the unit — especially for damaged devices. You also wait a week or more for your money. We pay on the spot after a 5-minute in-person check.
