How to Replace an 11" Air Display Cable??

Hello-
I recently bought an 11" Mid 2011 Air for a great deal. The issue is the old Display Cable, which the guy called the LCD Ribbon (I'm assuming it's the same thing) is suspected as being broken because there are lines going up and down the screen for a few inches mid screen. Anyone know of any instructions on how to replace that, or can anyone help me with instructions?
Is that a difficult replace?
Thanks for looking and for the help!
Richie

There are several videos online that detail the repair (Google is your friend), and you can see how difficult it is to replace the cable.

  • Inspiron One2310 how to replace a possibly deffective sata cable on hard drive

    Hello
    One month ago i had hard drives problems
     especially on an ubuntu/linux partition. Forums said i could have sata cable problem or hard drive problems. Hard drive testing showed an excessive temperature wile testing (approx 70oC). So i've changed the hard drive. Faster, bigger, but ... here again system continues t freeze
    Now i would like to change the sata cable but:
    - what reference should i buy and where ?
    - on my hard drive, there are 2 cables with flat connectors. But where should they be connected to motherboard ?
    - any advice to remove the old cable and replace with the new one ?
    I've read plenty other topic showing it should be possible to replace the cable but i don't thins this should be a good idea to mis connect a cable.
    Thank you in advance.

    If you already replaced the hard drive you should know where the cables are and where they go. One is the SATA power cable that goes directly to the power supply and the other is the SATA data cable that goes to the motherboard.
    So disconnect the data cable from the HDD and from the motherboard and buy the same length cable at any PC shop or web site. SATA data cables are standard and nothing unique. Just remember where the motherboard connector is.
    Freezes can be caused by lots of different things and I'd investigate those before replacing the data cable.
    Have you run the diagnostics on the RAM, which is a frequent cause of freezes? Have you reseated the RAM modules in their slots? Do you have the latest drivers, eg video driver, for your hardware?
    Are there any updates to your apps and software?
    Do the freezes happen when you're running a specific app? Since this seems to happen on the Linux partition is something not fully compatible with Linux..?

    Thanks again. Is there any possibility that they can replace as a sealed box as a original one? OR usually they will replace like this?
    Did i have any rights that i can as ipad in unsealed box?
    what r the conditions they replace as unsealed box?
    I brought ipad just 28 days back before this problem arrives...
    I got my iPad Air replaced once due to a tiny crack on the back of the device. Apple replaces it with a brand new iPad Air but it doesn't come in a retail box (like the ones they sell at the stores). The replacement is in a brown box (if I remember correctly) with no markings. There's no charger/cable in the box. It's not a refurbished device. It's brand new.

  • How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation?

    How do I put an external display to sleep when I am using my MacBook Air for presentation? I do not want to go to the projector just to turn it off and turn on again after a while? Is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

    I want to be able to sleep the external display and at the same time do things in the MacBook.( This feature is useful for me so that I can prepare some things and so that my audience will not see what I am about to show them.)
    Is there a feature for Mountain Lion?

    Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.

    Hello chrispyw,
    If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
    OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
    If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Can I replace 15 inch retina display that broke on my sons Mac , if so how much

    Can I replace 15 inch retina display that broke on my sons Mac , if so how much

    You will have to take it to an Apple store genius bar and talk with the techs, or take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider and get their estimate.  Typical is on the order of $500 in the US.
    This is not a user replaceable item, doing so will void any warranty and all further support from Apple.  They are pretty emphatic about that no further support thing so be sure to use an authorized repair service.

    I deleted Air Display because a forum stated that if you were having problems dragging and dropping pictures to your desktop or to folders, Air Display needed to be uninstalled. However, now I'm not able to hook my computer up to other screens. How can I recover the deleted Air Display program?
