Is it possible to fix the chassis, broken axle Macbook air

Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to fix the shaft on my MacBook Air, or if it is completely impossible?
Believe that my warranty expired last year :/
I am enclosing pictures so you can see where the error is:

Hello Samir,
Apple has/had a program in place for the hinge issue on the 1st (and I believe 2nd) generation MacBook Air. Even if the machine is currently out of warranty. I'm a bit foggy on the specifics as it was never itemized with the normal repair extension programs - http://www.apple.com/support/exchange_repair/
Your best bet is to contact AppleCare and inquire for more specifics.

  • Is it possible to replace the battery of a MacBook Air?

    hello, I just want to know if I can replace the battery of my MacBook Air?

    If an older Air out of warranty, yes, however, only Apple sells genuine Apple batteries.   Aftermarket batteries have many issues I wont list.
    It depends on your skills, ifixit.com has many videos on doing things yourself.    While I consider changing a battery incredibly easy, its a "hard" skill for some.
    So your question is subjective to be certain.
    IS is replaceable? yes, its a consumable and meant to be replaced.  

  • Is it possible to change the name of my MacBook Air?

    I purchased my first Apple laptop yesterday and while setting it up, I made a typo for the name of my computer (meant to type BloodGrin but typed BloodGrib instead).  Sorry for the n00b question, but is there any way possible I can change that?
    I know how to change the name for iCloud, but the name of the computer itself if that makes any sense.

  • I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

    After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that.  Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese.  You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
    The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless.  It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts:  option + n, then o gives you õ.
    The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard.  But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
    You may prefer to stay with the US layout.  On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears.  Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
    Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
    Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
    To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

  • Will all my music transfer from the mac to my macbook air? I don't want it to because there is too much and the air will not hold it.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
    If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list
