  • Screen problem on macbook air mid 2011

    Hello,
    I have a macbook air 2011 which I use almost all day long every day. It's about 1.5 years but the laptop is good conditions.
    The last couple of days a problem with the screen arises. When I move the screen up/down to change position, I see a subtle color change. I took a video using a camera [1].
    The screen becomes blue-ish with white stripes for a couple of seconds. It's awkward. I'd like to know if it's a hardware problem known and if it's dangerous. Doesn't bother me yet but I'm kinda worried about possible problems in the next future :-/

    The problem looks to me to be anything but "subtle". It looks very obvious, and it appears to be a hardware issue, as if one of the RGB segments are skewed when you move the screen. Perhaps a connector or circuit failure. If the unit is still under AppleCare coverage, I would take it in for diagnosis for sure. If not, I suppose it would depend on the cost to remedy and by position to deal with it, but I would still want it diagnosed. It is reminisent of a problem I once had with a Toshiba laptop I had 20 years ago. Eventually the display failed altogether and I could only use it with an external monitor.

  • I have a flaw on the screen of my MacBook air .  It looks like a bubble on a screen protector, but I don't have one.  Anyone else have this problem?

  • Installed new hdd in MacBook Air 2008, question folder and forbidden sign in screen, what to do?

    Hello
    I installed new hard drive to my MacBook Air 2008 and when I try to install lion/snow leopard/ mavericks it won't show up the disk. I can't find the hard drive.
    I don't now what to do. I tried everything. I spoke with a guy in macsupport here in Sweden and he said I have to buy snow leopard and install it from the original dvd in order for computer to format. My computer is old like I said its from 2008. I've never update it or upgrade. This is first time. It laid in storage for three years so I decide it to use it again but hdd was damaged so I had to change it, and now all I get is flashing question folder and forbidden sign, you know the sign for auto traffic.
    Is it true that the only way to restore or to find the new hdd or to boot the question mark and forbidden sign marks by installing osx from its original dvd or buy snow leopard?
    After I spoke with the guy from Mac support, I got little suspicious so I spoke to another one and he told me all I need to do is format hdd with the help of a sata hdd cable with help of another macbook and then I was good to go.
    What do u think?
    Should I buy snow leopard or can I burn it from my sister computer?

    I first would try Target Disk Mode to format and install an OSX on the new storage drive.

    You will need a OSX source that is compatible with the MBA.  If you have the original, use that.

  • New macbook air (2008) hinge installed; is this new hinge the same or a revision to address the problem? What should I afford to prevent a repeat of this?

    I recently had my first macbook air (2008)'s hinge replaced by Apple after I found out about the quality program apple had for the supposedly weak hinges (had no idea until a genius happened to tell me about it while discussing my newest purchase (the new MBA); I use my old air as a backup anyhow).
    My concern is whether or not this replacement Apple installed has been revised to address durability issues (i.e. a redesigned hinge) or simply the exact replacement hinge that originally shipped with the air in 2008?
    Also, while we're on the topic of macbook air hinges; how should I make sure this does not happen again to either of my macbook airs (I recently got the i5 revision)? More specifically how far should I open the lid.
    Thanks!

    My understanding of the hinge issue is that the primary reason for the issue was the barrel assembly enclosure couldn't handle the constant repetition of opening and closing past the acceptable usage angle for the lid. Over time and with enough force applied it would just give out and then the tension coils inside would break out through the relatively thin plastic enclosure.
    I do not believe anything was changed with the design or materials when the machines are serviced. The newer models with the "2nd generation" body styling fix this issue more than anything. Not to mention Apple shifted the exhaust vents for the fan to a more suitable place than the bottom of it.

    If you are going to DIY iFixit has lots of Guides, tools and Parts. Once you get the back cover off on the bottom of the display you will see a manufacturer's part number....(for example: B133EW03 V.1 - Note may not be your part number-just for recognition) once you have the part number Google Shopping will help you find compatible or exact matches.

  • Do all your cases and screen covers for MacBook air 2010-2011 fit the 2012 model

    Do all your cases and screen covers for MacBook air 2010-2011 fit the 2012 model

    Upon receiving my 2012 MBA, I removed the inCase hard shell from my 2011 model and fitted it to my 2012 unit. The fit is identical. Dimensionally they are the same.
    So, if you are asking do all of mine fit? Yes they do.

  • How much does it cost to replace the screen of a macbook air 11" ?

    how much does it cost to replace the screen of a macbook air 11" ?

    According to www.ifixit.com the display assembly for MBA 11" models before mid 2012 is US-$ 500, labor not included.
    If you're not in the U.S., you better ask your local Apple service center.

  • How much does it cost to repair a cracked screen for a Macbook Air?

    The screen for my MacBook Air recently cracked, and I was wondering about how much it would cost to either fix or replace.

    To reinforce Dominic's recommendation (which is a great one), a lot of the cost will depend on what mode of MacBook Air it is. The earlier units are typically not serviced in the store, they're done via what is called a "flat rate" repair. The newer ones can have the screen replaced and are a bit cheaper.
    While the numbers most likely have changed, the ballpark is about:
    $650-$800 for the 1st & 2nd generation MBA
    $495-$600 for the 3rd & 4th generation MBA
    Keep in mind those are ballparks off of quotes I received about 14 months ago when I brought in two units for screen replacements. But it gives you a rough gauge to expect when you make your GB appointment.

  • HT2728 How would I transfer my information from my old Macbook Air (2008) to the new one I purchased today?

    Today I ordered my new MacBook Air - and am looking for advice on how I might best transfer all the information off my old MacBook Air to the new one. There are not many ports available on the old MacBook Air (2008/9) and of course the new MacBook Air comes with more ports and connectivity.
    Appreciate any advice that you can give me.
    Many thanks in advance
    Ed

    Use an external drive with Time Machine or Clone your HD to the external.
    When you start the new one, setup manager will ask if you want to migrate from another disk, time machine etc.
    This will only require 1 usb port.
