Now offering screen repair for ALL MacBook Airs!



Years ago when the MacBook Air was drawn from a manilla envelope and rocked the industry, many repair techs were perplexed by it's complex simplicity. Mainly, I'm referring to its gratuitous use of double-sided tape in its construction.

This tape would make it difficult to cleanly remove some parts or to replace them and still look original. I'm referring to the aluminum bezel that is taped to the lid and frames the LCD. In removing this bezel, it could easily become misshapen and may not adhere as well as it did before. I made an effort to find a technique that would work best to save the bezel and am quite proud that my work is now completely flawless.

However, the first iteration of MacBook Air ended when the new (still more slim) models entered the scene in 2010. This new construction brought with it an interesting display unlike any most have encountered. Rather than installing a completely enclosed LCD/backlight assembly, the lid of the laptop acted as a frame and case for the assembly. While it's difficult to explain to some that have never opened their lid to remove the screen, the difference simply made it difficult to find a source for the LCD as a single piece.
For some time, the only solution to a broken MacBook Air LCD was to replace the entire lid! This is exponentially more costly and so impractical.

Now there are reliable outlets for the individual LCD panel  and I'm offering cracked screen replacement for all current MacBook Air models!

      That depends. To install Snow Leopard, you would need an Intel Mac, 1GB of RAM, 5GB of free hard drive space, and a DVD drive, internal or external, to install the system.

      If you have a 64-bit processor and 2GB of RAM, you could install OS X Lion, but you'd need to install Snow Leopard (10.6.6 at least) first.
