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.

- Different than usual LCD panel issue on MacBook Air
A really common issue with these MacBook Air screens is a vertical or horizontal bar of discoloration. When they are horizontal they are almost always caused by cracking along the left side of the screen under the bezel. When they are vertical they are usually caused by the ribbon cable coming loose from the LCD panel. Both issues require a replacement LCD panel to repair the issue. In this case though instead of just a horizontal or vertical bar, it is a combination! And not only that, the coloring of the display is not working properly which makes a rather […] - Badly Cracked LCD Panel on MacBook Air Fixed By Replacing Just the LCD Panel
This MacBook Air took a hit to the bottom right of the screen. This hit cracked the LCD panel and made about 50% of the screen not usable. Note the pattern of light lines across the display, these are also caused by the crack interrupting the video signal. You can always use a MacBook Air with a cracked screen by connecting it to your TV or external monitor. This will often times allow you to verify the machine is working properly other than the display, backup any files you need to continue working, or even just switch to using the […] - 13 Inch 2017 MacBook Air With Crack On Center Of Screen Repaired
This MacBook Air from 2017 took a hard hit directly in the center of the screen. You can see the impact point with the LCD cracks originating from it. A very small portion of the screen was still usable, and by connecting the computer to an external monitor I was able to verify it was all in good working order other than the display itself. By replacing just the LCD panel this screen would be good as new, so I continued with replacing just the LCD panel itself. Replacing just the LCD panel saves you hundreds of dollars. Apple only […] - MacBook Air With Crack On Bottom Left Of Screen
This MacBook Air screen came in with the report of a hard hit to the bottom left of the display. I warned the client that a white spot would likely be present after the repair due to the hit being so hard. White spots can be caused by the pressure from a hit going all the way through the LCD panel and marring the white sheet that sits behind the LCD panel itself. Basically there is a white sheet of a material that is almost like glossy paper. The backlight of the display shines from the bottom of the display […] - Classic Stripe On MacBook Air Screen Repaired
If you look through my blog you will see numerous examples of this issue, especially with the MacBook Air screens. It is likely the type of screen issue I see the most on these MacBook Air’s, even more than visibly cracked screens. As I have mentioned before the issue that causes the stripe is a hairline crack along the left side of the display. There seems to be an issue with the display housing flexing during use (like when the computer is opened, closed, picked up from a corner, etc), that causes the hairline cracking along the edge. I have […]
