    I stepped on the edge of it.
    Yes, when it looks like blue and purple ink spot/spill that means you destroyed the LCD display,
    it cannot be repaired, the monitor assy. must be replaced.
    Contact Apple for appt. to replace your monitor.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller to have your display replaced. If you want, you can buy the display yourself and install it, but as you can see, that's expensive > http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-13-Inch-Mid-2012-Display-Assembl y/IF188-083?utm_source=ifixit_guide&utm_medium=guide_intro&utm_content=required_ items&utm_term=macbook_air_13%22_mid_2012

  • Mac book air turns on then goes to a white screen. What should I do?

    My Mac book air turns on then gets stuck on a white screen.  What can I do to fix it?

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Anyone had keyboard white letters on mac book air go blotchy and clouded and in first year

    anyone had keyboard white letters on mac book air go blotchy and clouded and in first year

    reality check,.....
    I never mentioned it being covered by Apple or by Apple care.   I know such wear is owner abrasion..... however such cases are usually not abrasion rather acid skin wear,....either way though it's not a defect rather usage marks. Also very possible due to rough skin on fingertips.
    As to dominic and B being wrong that it will "be fixed".. you yourself do not know that and the OP should contact Apple, given the cost of keys are next to nill and Apple cust. service is #1, nobody knows the exact answer to 'covered or not'
    *you are however correct on the letter glyphs.,,  the keys are inverse over opaque.  however its not painted rather a screening coat.
    I'm so used to seeing 100,000+ keyboards over the years that are black plastic with white silk screening. As such, the silk screen comment was my error and I actually knew better, ..
    ~~Regardless of these facts, ...cursing did not validate your point one iota.  
    correcting a minor error by cursing in a family board is beneath you and shows poorly upon the decorum you are intended to present.
    Peace

  • I have a mac book air 11". When I boot up connected to the huge Thunderbolt  screen it detects the detects the fact and gives me great quality. now I am travelling away from the scree it boots up, nice picture, then switches to rubbish resolution.

    I have a Mac Book air 11". Normally at home I connect this to a large Thuderbolt Screen. When booting up it some times gets confused and offers me a low resolution result, but some plugging and unplugging of the screen fixes this. I assume it sometimes "sees" the big screen and sets the resolition accordingly. Sometimes does not. But now... I am away from big screen and cannot get the Macbook air on its one to deliver anything other than really poor resolution. I ahve done displays and chosen all three - but no better. And I have said Choose the Best ONe... again not luck. Any ideas. I read in back posts this was a problem a few years ago.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I believe you have a failing GPU (aka Video Card). Run AHT and see what it tells you. Do not be afraid to run it up to three times in succession if at first it does not detect an error (sometimes errors that are caused by overheating will not show up until the computer is stressed enough - repeating AHT will do that).
    As an aside - the MBA was not designed to take the place of a desktop. If you are powering your MBA by leaving it permanently attached to the thunderbolt port on the monitor you are shortening your battery life.

  • Mac book air cracked screen. how much to repair and how long to fix it

    is cracked screen on mac book air coverd under warrenty

    Hello mehrnoosh,
    A cracked/damaged screen is not covered by the one-year limited warranty (or) the AppleCare Protection Plan. It is considered accidental damage and thus not eligible for a free replacement/service under the terms of either. That being said, your renter's or home owner's insurance might be able to offer service/replacement coverage if personal electronic items are covered. In addition many major credit cards offer additional warranty/coverage options within the first X (it varies) of ownership. You would need to reach out to those specific coverage options yourself, however.

  • Does apple make a mac book air that is touch screen?

    Does apple make a mac book air that is touch screen?

    Thanks for the help
    I submitted my feedback and it reads "Hi Apple, My family owns an Ipod Shuffle, 2 Nanos, 2 iphones, one ipad and the AppleTV.  However, I have an HP laptop.  Why?  I want the features of both the laptop and the ipad but am not willing to convert to the MAC book until the ipad and the mac book merge together as one.  Is this even a possibility?  I know you could create it in a split second.  Why do you think you haven't?  I get sick of unclicking the ipad from my cheap keyboard and then having it all cluttered up right by my laptop.  If the mac book had a touch screen and it could flip the keyboard upside down (like the clam case does) so that I could use a laptop like an ipad then I would be on cloud 9.  No pun intended.  In fact, why don't you just call the thing "Cloud9."  Just sayin'"
    It would be cool if they were creating it right now.  I would be all over it.

    The MBA is trying to tell you that it is not able to find a bootable system
    Either the file is corrupt or access to the storrage has failed
    I would start by seeing if it will boot with Command + R depressed

  • HT3986 i was trying to download windows 7 on mac book air 10.8.2.seems like i didnt copy my windos disk on the usb properly at the begining,so after the boot camp steps the screen is black and telle me to put the write disk.

    i was trying to download windows 7 on mac book air 10.8.2.seems like i didnt copy my windos disk on the usb properly at the begining,so after the boot camp steps the screen is black and telle me to put the write disk.
    eventually i made a coorect usb windows 7 and put it back to continue as it was saying so,but there is no change and the screen still is dark and says no bootable disk ,insert.
    how to solve the problem?

    Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
    I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
    Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
    There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
    Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea.
