Einleitung

Diese Anleitung zeigt, wie das Display im MacBook Air von Ende 2018 ausgetauscht werden kann.

    • Bevor du anfängst, solltest du die Auto Boot Funktion stilllegen. Auto Boot schaltet deinen Mac beim Aufklappen ein und kann während des Öffnungsvorgangs versehentlich ausgelöst werden. Benutze diese Anleitung oder folgende verkürzten nachfolgenden Anweisungen um Autoboot auszuschalten.

    • Wenn dein MacBook unter BigSur v11.1 oder einer späteren Version läuft, lässt sich AutoBoot möglicherweise nicht deaktivieren. Arbeite zuerst normal weiter, trenne aber den Akku sofort ab, wenn du ins Innere des Gerätes hinein gekommen bist.

    • Schalte dein MacBook Air vollständig aus und ziehe den Stecker aus der Steckdose, bevor du anfängst. Schließe das Display und drehe den Laptop um.

    • Entferne mit einem P5-Pentalobe-Schraubenzieher folgende Schrauben:

    • Zwei 7,9 mm Schrauben

    • Zwei 7,1 mm Schrauben

    • Sechs 2,6 mm Schrauben

    If the first thing you do is disconnect the battery, is it really an issue if you don’t (or can’t) disable auto-boot?

    maccentric -

    I agree, why disable Auto-Boot when the lid is closed and the battery is disconnected immediately? – I've never had an issue since 2016 when the feature was introduced.

    On my machine, the longest two screws were in the corners, while the other two long screws were in the middle. Perhaps previous service in the past had them replaced into the wrong place? In any case, the longest screws do seem to fit in either place. I guess 0.8mm is not very much of a difference. Seems like poor design if they could have used one size of screw.

    • Zwänge deine Finger zwischen das Display und das Gehäuseunterteil und ziehe nach oben, so dass sich das Gehäuseunterteil vom Air ablöst.

    • Entferne das Gehäuseunterteil.

    Das geht etwas schwer, da das Unterteil mittig noch von 2 Druckverschlüssen gehalten wird.

    • Ziehe den Aufkleber soweit vom Akkustecker zurück, dass der darunterliegende Stecker sichtbar wird.

    • Schiebe den Akkustecker mit einem Spudger parallel zum Logic Board aus seinem Anschluss auf dem Logic Board heraus.

    Before the battery can be fully disconnected, the battery disconnect button needs to be held down. There is a gold button just above the battery socket, along with a small LED much like the 12” machines. Once this has been held down and the LED has switched off it is safe to remove the battery.

    Aaron Dalziel -

    This seems like an important step?

    maccentric -

    Also, seems like this should be done after the battery is disconnected, not before? Otherwise, wouldn’t the battery re-charge it?

    maccentric -

    What if the white LED dosent light up after pressing the yellow button again?

    Iron05 -

    I just performed this repair on my late 2018 mac air. I did click the gold button but saw no LED illuminated or otherwise. Question- after reassembly does the button get pressed again to connect the battery? Please clarify if this button is to be pressed and if it needs pressing again after the repair.

    All said - I pressed again after the battery connector clicked, assembled the back and all worked perfectly. The original issue was one dead port (no charge, no communication). The battery charge lightening bold icon was acting funny too. Genuis bar guy in Naperville said it was likely a logic board too. But it was not. The port was apparently confusing the logic board with regards to the charge function. Thanks Adam for saving me $440 and sending my computer back to Apple. I am 71 yrs young - who says an old dog can’t learn new tricks with good training!!

    William Lane -

    I didn't see Aaron's comment before completing the battery replacement. Afterwards, the computer would not turn on despite multiple SMC reset procedures. Upon double-checking the comments I see the importance of pressing the gold button. I pressed the gold button before disconnecting the new battery, then pressed it again after reconnecting for good measure. Computer booted!

    It would be good of iFixit to add this important step as most people probably don't open up every single comment on (seemingly) simple steps.

    Corey Matsumoto -

    Seconding Corey's comment. If paid more attention to the comment section, I would have avoided 15-30 minutes of panic. (BTW I did not notice any LED, but the golden button was easy to find).

    • Setze die Spudgerspitze nahe am Stecker unter eines der Antennenkabel ein.

    • Heble senkrecht nach oben und löse das Kabel ab.

    • Wiederhole das Ganze für das andere Kabel.

    As you are putting everything back together, it is a bit wonky trying to reconnect these antenna. Patience is necessary and it helps if you reshape the cables so that the cables are like the picture.

    • Entferne die Halterung des Displaykabelsteckers.

    • Entferne folgende Torx T5 Schrauben:

    • Vier 7,4 mm Schrauben

    • Zwei 4,5 mm Schrauben

    The tool list does not list a T5.

    • Hebe die Antennenleiste senkrecht hoch aus dem Gehäuse heraus. Achte darauf, dass die Antennenleiste nicht an irgendwelchen Kabeln oder Stecker schabt.

    • Möglicherweise spürst du den Widerstand von den Rasten, mit denen die Antennenleiste in der Mitte befestigt ist. Du kannst kräftig ziehen, ohne etwas zu beschädigen, solange du senkrecht zum Gehäuse nach oben ziehst.

    • Entferne die Antennenleiste.

    Tip: keep the six big lid anchor screws in place until after you remove the antenna bar. You may have to use your plastics spudger to wedge underneath the vents and get leverage off the underside of the lid along the hinge area. I also had to remove the Logicboard so I could get the plastic spudger underneath the antenna bar and lift it up. It felt like it was going to break. Did not want to have to remove the logic board, but seemed that was the only way I could get underneath and pry the antenna out.

    Chris Leeds -

    Felt like I was going to break it! It will come out but it requires patience and light touch

    Lamar's suggestion to view the video is excellent. Though I saw it only in arrears, it was quite valuable. I found a spudge, used to GENTLY pry both side first, then begin lifting on your right side (with back of laptop facing you) while gently twisting slightly inward to do the trick.

    Probably the worst moment in this repair.

    • Entferne die sechs 4,9 mm Torx T9 Schrauben, mit denen die Displayscharniere am oberen Gehäuse befestigt sind.

    This was a T8 Torx driver for me

    jasonsedlaczek -

    It’s easier to leave 1 on each side in place open the MacBook fully and the remove them. This will help not damaging the bottom screen rim

    Kevin Duterne -

    Torx T8 for me too on a MacBook Air 2020

    T8 for me as well on a 2019 MacBook Air

    • Lasse das Display immer noch nach unten liegen und hebe das obere Gehäuse an, damit sich das MacBook soweit wie möglich öffnet.

    • Hebe das MacBook hoch und klappe das Display behutsam so, dass es rechtwinklig zum oberen Gehäuse steht.

    • Die Scharniere sollten sich gegenüber dem Display nicht bewegen und sich leicht aus dem Gehäuse herausdrehen.

    • Halte das Display weiterhin rechtwinklig zum Gehäuse. Halte das Gehäuse fest und bewege das Display gerade nach unten, so dass die Scharniere aus der Unterseite des Gehäuses herausgleiten.

    Can i skip antenna screw and battery to reallign the screen lid ? My screen lid is misalligned with the body about half milimeters

    can.cakmak -

    Yes. You can loosen the screen lid screws to re-align the top lid.

    Arthur Shi -

    (quote)

    "Keeping the display at a 90 degree angle with the case, move the display straight down while holding the case still, so that the hinges slide out the bottom of the case."

    (end quote)

    If you're moving the display straight down, how does it "slide out"? I do ge the point, but this instruction could stand a tad amount of re-wording.

    dlcatftwin -

    Also, on installing the new screen, the hinges on the new screen are very tight. It is easier to the install if you use some needle-nose or some tweezers to open the hinges to 90 degrees before trying to slot the new screen.

Abschluss

Vergleiche dein Ersatzteil mit dem Originalteil — möglicherweise musst du fehlende Bauteile übertragen oder Schutzfolien vom Neuteil abziehen, bevor du es einbauen kannst.

Um dein Gerät wieder zusammenbauen, folge den Schritten in umgekehrter Reihenfolge.

So…….. Which one of those flexes is the camera flex? It seems you skipped over a lot of the connectors in your guide.

Aksel Barnes -

I would like to know this as well same issue with Camera not detected as other comments.

David Thomas -

I’m also interested in this. After a LCD swap, de iSight camera / webcam isn’t working.

Jochem -

Y’all need to give bonus points for putting it all back together again. Those T3 screws in steps 5 and 7 are awful hard to get back into place while holding the brackets in place. Not to mention the replacement display I purchased (from a third party) didn’t have the other two brackets in place, so I had to move those over from the original display as well.

The high res images in this guide are very helpful, and the guide is very well written and straightforward. Thanks.

larwood -

I have replaced the complete screen on my macbook air and followed these repair instructions to the letter, but for some reason the camera is not detected, I have double checked the connectors but still no camera detected when opening any app s like facetime, photo booth etc.

colin -

Thank you. Very clear guide. The antenna bar removal IS a tense moment and and I’d suggest everyone carefully look at all three photos in this stage just to facilitate the display logic board falling through the gap. With this guide, this is at the low end of ‘moderate difficulty’.

Macrepair SF -

Anybody can solve the problem of the “no camera detected” after replacing the screen? I also don’t have the auto bright function.

Juan Pablo -

Step 5 mentions using a T3 Torx screwdriver - not so on my unit - magnification reveals 2 Pentalobe screws, what size I know not, though they are not P5. Any advice?

dlcatftwin -

Is it possible to replace just the display cable? There is a replacement display cable sold by ifixit that’s supposedly compatible with MacBook Air 2018, but I haven’t seen any instructions for it specifically.

SunMin Kim -

Just tried this unsuccessfully. My two 4.5 mm screws that hold the antenna bar on were stripped, so I couldn’t complete the repair. I reassembled everything, but when I tried to turn my computer on again, it wouldn’t turn on. Any advice would be much appreciated
