The MacBook Air is Apple's fanless everyday laptop. Since the move to Apple silicon (M1 onwards) the memory and SSD are part of the main logic board, so a failed SSD or board fault is a component-level repair rather than a part swap. A fanless M5 model with soldered unified memory and a non-upgradeable SSD.
Common MacBook Air repairs
- Cracked or dead Retina display
- Liquid spill on the keyboard
- Battery service and swelling
- USB-C / MagSafe charging faults
- Logic board repair and data recovery
Screen replacement
Cracked glass, lines across the picture or a black screen with sound still working: we replace the display panel on the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch M5 and test it fully before handing it back. If the fault is the display cable or backlight, we fix that instead of fitting a whole new screen.
Battery swelling and battery life
Lithium batteries wear out and can swell, lifting the touchpad or bending the base. If your Apple MacBook Air 15-inch M5 has a bulging case or a touchpad that won't click, stop using it on charge and bring it in: we replace the battery and check nothing else was damaged.
Keyboard and touchpad
Sticky, dead or repeating keys and an unresponsive touchpad are common after spills or heavy use. On the Apple MacBook Air 15-inch M5 we replace the keyboard or touchpad, and check the ribbon cables at the same time.
