My Macbook Air hinge is broken. How to replace it.

Don't bother if it's not under warranty. I had the same problem. They wanted $440 for a whole new display. Bought a new Droid tablet for that price

    hi my iPad air screen has broken how much you guys charge

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

    If you do it only for your user, you can try resetting permissions > http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/15/repair-user-permissions-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    If this doesn't work, open Disk Utility from Recovery (if you have OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, pressing Command and R keys while your Mac is starting) or the Mac OS X DVD (if you have Snow Leopard or older, pressing C key while your Mac is starting), select Macintosh HD in the sidebar and repair permissions.
    If this doesn't work, reinstall Mac OS X

  • TS2948 Does anyone have recent experience of getting a macbook air hinge replacement foc

    Does anyone have recent (2013) experience of getting a macbook air hinge repaired FOC ?

    I just tried to get my original MBA hinge repaired, but the Genius guy in Amsterdam said they stopped the replacement 1 1/2 years ago :-(
    Would have been appreciated if Apple could update the original note to indicate the extended warranty on the hinge is no longer in effect.

  • My macbook air is not charging, I've replaced the charger but it is still not working?

    My macbook air is not charging, I've replaced the battery but its still not charging. Can anyone help????

    If two different Apple supplied chargers have failed, it sounds like there's a problem with the port.  It's probably a good idea to have an Authorized Apple Service Provider have a look.
    Here's how to find one:

  • Does my Macbook Air 13 inch need to be replaced?

    Does my Macbook Air 13 inch need to be replaced if it only gets 5 1/2 hours of battery (by just surfing the web) and I just purchased it?
    The only reason I got the 13 inch was because it had a better battery life over the 11. I can't imagine the 11 inch getting 3 hours or somethings that's ridiculous. 

    There are a lot of things that affect battery life. Flash Player is a major culprit in decreased battery life. Watching streaming video is another. Check out "Click To Flash". Helped me a lot.  I have the late 2010 MBA 13 with SnowLeopard (no Lion) and average 7-9 hours of battery life.

  • MacBook Air hinges broken

    Anyone have any suggestions on repairing the broken hinges on a MacBook Air?  The cheap plastic hinges on mine have broken and the monitor is about to fall off.  Does anyone know why this obvious design flaw is not being covered under a warranty and have any suggestions of what to do?  Everything else about the computer runs great so I don't need or want to buy a new computer because of a design flaw.  Thanks for your help.

    Ask Apple why it isn't covered. We as fellow users can not give you a definitive answer.

  • Macbook air hinge broken

    Hi all, the right hand side hinge of my 2.5 year old macbook air has broken into pieces, and cracked and broken pieces of plastic off the grey plastic tubular hinge interconnecting piece. Does anyone know if this is covered by any kind of warranty for faulty parts? the metal hinge has broken and the screen is literally hanging off, although the computer has suffered no abuse or any kind of hit, just normal and infrequent opening and closing!

    As Tony recommended you need to contact AppleCare directly. But hopefully this thread will serve as a reference point - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1893302?start=0&tstart=0
    If you go through it all (and it's very long) you'll see that covers over 2 years and more importantly has had mixed results from users. It looks like Apple is handling machines on a case-by-case basis.

  • How do I transfer files from my old macbook air with a broken screen to my new macbook air?

  • Macbook Air recall on broken hinges

    I have the very early version of Macbook Air the one with the flip comparment that expose the usb. Now the problem I have is that after using the device for a few months a crack appear on the right side of the devices. I was **** because i know the price apple might want for repair. After research i heard that it had been recall for faulty design, and apple would fix the problem free of cost. I just wanted to know if they are still doing this service.
    Thanks in advance
    <Message was edited by Host>

    If it is the hinge that is cracking below the display then it is likely the hinge cracking issue.
    There is a support article that discusses this, it might be worth having a look on the support site.
    It also explains that it is covered for three years from original date of purchase, so it is likely that your MacBook air might not be covered for this service.
    The repair extension program would almost be ready to expire by now.

  • MacBook Air hinges

    Hello I am from Belarus and I have a MacBook Air (serial number: w8******y51) and I have a problem with the hinges (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2948) . In an authorized service center told me that I bought my MBA more that 3 years ago, so Apple Service Provider Comments say this not more eligible and service center can do not repair this MBA. BUT in service a guy said I should turn to support and they could give me a special code by which in service will repair my MacBook Air for free.
    Question is how to obtain thi code. Apple communitie, please help me!

  • Apple macbook air hinge defect -closing lid is considered accidental damage

    Hi Apple
    Is closing the screen normal operations of the macbook air?
    my apple air has a defect with the hinge. could apple please change your policy to accept hinge as warrant on apple air models
    purchased my air 28/2/2008 from Sydney Broadway apple shop. I think this was the first day they got delivery in Sydney.
    Last week when closing the screen, it was about half way down, it made a crack noise, and the hinge moved. (see photo from link below)
    I have been to two apple care centres in Saigon, Vietnam this week. Spoke to apple in singapore and usa. They all told me i broke it and the damage is accidental. Offically on paper it was "it might be accidental damage, warranty repair declined"
    Many people have had this problem, mostly in USA.
    Below is the link to a post i made on the problem. It has a photo of my laptop hinge, it is not as bad as others, because i stopped using the air as soon as it happened

    PS. Apple Air is the BEST laptop yet for me personally. light, 13" screen, full size keyboard, multitouch huge touch pad, nice casing, no dvd player and osx
    I have owned these laptops:
    compact portable iii
    dell latitude d600
    toshiba portege 3500 tablet
    fujitsu lifebook p7010
    motion ls800 tablet
    apple macbook air

    If I can add my two cents... Mine broke just like the others on this thread, and almost like everybody else, the first genius I consulted with told me that it was accidental damage and that they won't cover it. I left the Apple Store and called Apple customer service, explained the situation, including the fact a 1800 $ computer shouldn't broke without reason, that there was multiple people on the internet with the same problem... a few days later, Apple called me to say that they will cover the display change under warranty. Still, i'm not impressed :
    - The attitude of the first genius was very arrogant, telling me that I shouldn't try to "steal from Apple" by trying to cover accidental damage...
    - When I got my MacBook Air back, the genius told me that they did put a new hinge design in there, which feels much more sturdy indeed. So if Apple changed the hinge design, they know there was a problem with the hinge, but they still won't change your failed hinge unless you complain : what kind of customer service is that ?
    I'm feeling a class action over those first gen MacBook Air, really... 1800 $ gets you a computer that doesn't perform (kernel_task problem), with failing hardware (hinge defect).
    By the way... mine have also a decoloration of the trackpad that Apple won't cover because they say it's "cosmetic". How ironic from a company who charge big preniums for design not to cover "cosmetic" issues.
