Are you going to do a teardown of the M4 MacBook Air 15" when it's released?

I'm holding off purchasing to learn if its 256 SSD uses TWO 128GB chips (or one 256GB).

A few weeks ago, I spilled coffee on my 15-inch MacBook Air M2 that I bought a few months ago. I immediately took it to Apple, and after opening it, they confirmed there was coffee inside (thank you, AppleGenius ;) ).

They explained that in such cases, they offer a repair package for €1200 regardless of the damage (the laptop costs 1600€!!!) They didn’t even properly clean the coffee and didn't reassemble the bottom panel correctly (I thought my battery had swollen, but it was just an incorrect reassembly).

Since then, I bought the necessary screwdrivers (I already had probably 50 different screwdrivers, but of course, they used a new one :-)), opened the MacBook, and cleaned everything.

The laptop has been working perfectly for the last 2 months except for the keyboard and trackpad, so I'm obliged to use a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse which is not very handy for a laptop :-)

Besides that, it's working like a charm.

The problem is, I can’t find the needed parts to replace the defective ones myself (I work in IT and have repaired several phones and Macs using iFixit :-)).

Does anyone has any idea where I can find these parts? And some indications about how to replace them (especially the keyboard)

Isn’t it a legal obligation for Apple to provide the corresponding parts?

Here is the exact model #: MQKW3FN/A

Thank you so much in advance, any help is appreciated.

Regards

I have a 15” MacBook Air with problems with TouchPad

⟐ Answered November 06, 2023 at 11:23 MST

On normal power on it chimes and flashes the power logo for a split second then goes black. When plugged into a dock I get video and it boots. But the Keyboard and mouse also are not working. Only showing the external display in MacOS

When I hold the power button for recovery options I get full display, the keyboard and mouse still don't work but the screen is fine... As soon as I click on options using an external mouse the screen goes blank but again works on external fine.

Im wondering if there is a shared power bus or something that could be shorted. I dont see signs of liquid damage inside the machine but anything is possible...

Anyone got any ideas?

Also another question is would tightening the screws void warranty if I'm in the US?

What could be the most probable reasons? And how can I solve this issue?

Hi, I want to know if I can replace the broken screen on my MacBook Air 15" 2023 A2941 with a used A2941 screen assembly.

I know the answer should be yes; however, the recent screen replacement issues with the MacBook Pro 14" models (2021 onwards) and what some people are calling "paired screens issue" with the logic board have meant that it hasn't been possible to do on the 14" model without having some side effects.

So, I want to know if it is possible to do it on the A2941 and if it suffers from the "pairing problem"? Please help me if you know the answer or if you have replaced the screen on this model. Thank you.

Ryan

Is there any latop (new or used) I can buy and replace the retina (IPS) display with a non-retina from a third party?

It's the only way I can think of to be able to use a mac laptop and not get sick from the screen.

(Note: I know I can use an external monitor, but then it won't be portable, so its not a solution for me).
