Hi,
I'm new here and would like to ask you guys if anyone knows about a replacement LCD for MBA A1369 13". The "cheapest" I found is $500 :eek:, but there are $99 ones for the old MBA, I was hoping to find one in the same price range... :(
Thanks in advance!
 
If its gonna cost you $500, maybe check to see how much they go for on ebay with a broke screen. Sell yours and then buy a new one.
 
Nah, I like to repair stuff, but I need a "reasonably priced" ;) spare part.
 
Not enough time has passed for the current MBA revision to see more used/broken units on the market.

Self fixing is a loosing battle on current tech. In the end it will cost you in many ways not just $$.
 
Current replacement LCDs for Macbook Air A1369

So apparently no one knows of a replacement lcd :( Too bad, here's what I've found so far:

http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Apple/MACBOOK~AIR~13.3~A1369/
They claim $99 price, cheapest around but I have a strong feeling that the "Temporary out of stock." means they never really had one. Maybe they will in the future and this page is just a placeholder to get people to sign up on the waiting list ;-) I did sign up, can't hurt.

Here's one for $659 :(

Here's one for $500

And nothing else seems to be found by da big Google. They all say these are "directly from the factory", not sure what that means or if it's true at all... Not that I care where it's from if it works perfectly, but I believe the price is high because of that fact.

Anyone else?
 
Scottsdale I'll give them a call and let you all know what I find out.
Thanks guys, appreciate it!
 
No unfortunately there was no quote from them "maybe in the future". Cheapest price is around $500 so far. :(
 
Solved: I got another one from eBay which had faulty logic board (possibly the "popular" GPU problem) and took the display off of it and replaced my broken one. It's as good as new :) Cost around $300 plus I can sell the remaining parts ;)
 
my first move is always the same: call kyle at e-tech parts or their sister company Mission Repair. If they don't have the parts then no one does. And if they say they can't fix it, then that's your signal to not even try.

Let me tell you a secret... The LCD is built into the casing. I know people have said similar things about the iPhone and iPad, and it turns out that they could be removed carefully with a little heat and some razors... This is not the case here. The LCD truly is unseparable from the frame.

Even if it were possible to replace the LCD, it would be nothing short of a nightmare. You would never find the LCD because it simply doesn't exist- the LCD and bezel/back/lid/case/frame whatever you call it is all one part. To install a new LCD without changing the frame would require layering all those sheets of film, diffusers, plates and light guides and to finish it off, 3M 9703 conductive tape needs to be applied to connect the backlight... Do you know how to use that? Didn't think so. :p

You simply have to replace the entire display.

It is very unfortunate that your screen broke and now it is very hard to afford a new screen, but at the price you are looking for is quite hard to get a screen. The best possible solution is to wait for the screen to be back in the stock.

Hi there,

Just a quick note to let you know that TechRestore (that's us) does repair the 11.6 MacBook Air screen for $329 (as of 7/18/12, might be less when you read this).

This is a very detailed repair that takes some specialized machinery to complete due to the LCD panel being fused to the aluminum housing. Our repairs are completed by Apple Certified technicians and we include a 1-year warranty.

Here's a link:

Hope this helps!
