MacBook Air LCD Screen Replacement
MacBook Air’s are great portable machines, but they are a little fragile when it comes to dropping or bending. I get numerous reports that the screen seems to break on its own during regular use.
However your MacBook Air was damaged, if it has a cracked or broken LCD, let me help! As one of the few repair shops that provide component level repair for MacBook Air displays, I have the services you need to get your Air fixed quick. My screen repair offerings include MacBook Air LCD replacements for a fraction of the cost of replacing the entire display. By replacing just the broken component (the LCD panel), I can save you $100’s.
I offer low cost screen repair for both the 11″ MacBook Air and 13″ MacBook Air. My pricing is a flat fee, so for any MacBook Air up to 2017, I can replace the LCD at the same cost. If you have a newer model MacBook Air with a finger print reader on the top right of the keyboard, we can replace the display assembly!
Mail-in service available
All my screen repair services are available Nationwide (and in Canada) via my mail-in service. I have a couple options for mailing your computer in which will be presented during checkout. I pay for the shipping to get the computer back to you after repair, but you can choose whether you would like to pay for the shipping to get the computer to me or have me send you a prepaid shipping label and box for an additional $25.

Things to note
While most screen repairs do not require any difference in service, there are a couple scenarios that come up once in a while with LCD only replacements on MacBook Air’s.
White Spots on Backlight Sheet
When something hits the MacBook Air screen from the back or very hard, sometimes the backlight sheets get damaged as well as the LCD. The backlight LED’s shine up from the bottom of the laptop and reflect off a white sheet of paper-like substance. There are additional sheets after this white sheet that diffuse the backlight and spread it evenly through the LCD panel.
Normally, we can just replace the LCD and any backlight issues are purely cosmetic. As you can see in the picture below, a damaged backlight usually causes white spots on the LCD. Normally this white spot is only where the impact point is.
So if the computer got hit from the back or front hard enough to damage the backlight, we can either replace the entire screen assembly for a possibly additional fee, or just replace the LCD and ignore the cosmetic white spot. If you want to read more about this issue, here is a White Spot On Backlight post in our blog.
Bent Corners or Dents on Housing
Most MacBook Air models do not require us to replace the while assembly. However, if you would like the entire display housing replaced during service to get rid of dents, damaged corners, etc… we can replace the entire assembly during service (usually for an extra fee).
If you wish to have us replace the entire display, please let us know so we can look up the exact cost for repair and send you a quote for approval before we complete the work.
