I have a MacBook Air M1 2020 (A2337) with a keyboard issue. The 3, E, and D keys not work. These three keys are aligned vertically on the keyboard. I want to mention that this is how I purchased the macbook with this problem. I thought I could clean each key individually and solve the problem, but it seems my idea didn't work.

What I have already checked:

• The MacBook has never had any liquid damage.
• I removed the individual keycaps and inspected the mechanisms underneath.
• The rubber domes and key mechanisms look perfectly fine.
• There are no signs of corrosion or dirt.
• I opened the laptop and inspected the inside, which is also very clean.
• I disconnected and reconnected the keyboard flex cable, but the issue remains.
• All other keys on the keyboard work normally.

Since the affected keys are in the same vertical line (3, E, D), I am wondering if this could be a keyboard matrix issue or a failed row/column circuit.

Has anyone experienced the same problem on an A2337 MacBook Air M1? Is there any repair possible without replacing the entire keyboard or top case?

Any advice or schematics would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

My Macbook Air has been displaying intense display glitching. The screen becomes covered with distorted coloured lines when I position it at most angles, however, at some very specific angles the glitching resolves entirely.

I've done some digging and discovered that I'll likely have to either replace the display flex cable or the screen assembly.

I'm inclined to think that the issue lies in the display cable, as the screen itself works flawlessly at specific angles, as I've mentioned. Dually, an A2337 display cable is much cheaper and easier to source than a new display assembly.

However, I'd really appreciate some professional advice.
Ask me any questions which may clarify things for you!

The only thing I need to know will Apple Repair Assistant say "Unfinished repair" and complain about locked screen chip or something else. I saw people say its gonna run fine its still just for iPhone and theres new policy in tahoe 26 about it. Please someone who had expirience with, help.

P.S.: Where I live, there is a common scam where Apple devices are remotely locked through iCloud. The seller even showed me the original purchase payment from his banking app, so he may actually be the original owner and a victim of this scam. We also don’t have Apple Authorized Service Providers here, so there is no official way to request Activation Lock removal.

Actually I need the exact part of the LCD panel not the entire display assembly.

I think apple uses LP116WH4-TPA1 or AUO B116XW05

But can someone who had replace this or ifixit expert who have teardown the MacBook air 11" please comfirm or state the actual part number of the LCD panel.

This to me is somewhat what happens if you adjust the screen resolution & restart, these lines appear as the graphic setting switches at boot, at least from memory when I did that in the settings to help my poor vision in the past. But, this time the system suddenly freezes and the display is flickering at the same time. I don't know what system was previously installed so I am trying to start fresh with Mountain Lion or Mavericks working my way upto Catalina, at least that is my plan. There is no indication in the boot menu that OCLP was ever installed as there is no EFI Boot option, so Is this a graphic chip failure (Dead unit) or a driver issue. I did manage to run diagnostics and it gave me the dreaded EFI driver issue in the report, but then it still boots normally which is odd as if the EFI driver was the issue it wouldn't fully boot. I have reset the PRAM and SMC to no avail. Occasionally I get the 3 beep RAM issue, but it was not mentioned in the diagnostic.

The rear of the KB's cable on the older 2010/11 models is striped, 2013-17 is black. 2012 I believe can use the 2013-17 keyboards.

If I purchased the 4GB model of the new MacBook Air that just came out, could I upgrade the RAM to 8GB myself?

Thanks,

Alex

Then when i click on an application, that's when the screen quality turns into this:

I have the IFIXIT Pro Tech Toolkit. Im just looking for someone to identify which part inside is the issue? Apparently it's one of the connectors. Also if you can identify the part, where will it be located & a picture example. If there's a video that's even better. This is the only issue. The macbook runs fine.
