Common MacBook Air problems we fix

Worn or swollen batteries

A “Service Recommended” battery warning, short battery life, or a trackpad that’s lifting all point to the battery. If it’s swelling, stop using the MacBook Air and bring it in.

Sticky or repeating keys

2018 and 2019 MacBook Air models and the 12-inch MacBook use Apple’s butterfly keyboard, which is prone to sticking, doubled or dead keys. We clean or replace them.

Liquid damage

Drinks are one of the most common reasons a MacBook Air stops working. Switch it off, don’t charge it, and bring it in quickly. Board-level repair often saves it.

Cracked screens

The thin MacBook Air lid can crack from pressure, such as closing it on a pen or squeezing it in a bag. We replace screens on all models.

MacBook Air repair questions

How much does a MacBook Air repair cost?

MacBook Air repairs start from £60. A battery replacement typically costs £150–£250, and screen replacements start from around £250 for a refurbished screen, depending on the model. We always give you a clear quote before any work starts.

My MacBook Air says "Service Recommended" for the battery. What does that mean?

It means the battery has worn to the point where it no longer holds charge as well as it should. If you also notice the trackpad lifting or the case bulging, the battery may be swelling, so stop using it and bring it in. A new battery usually costs £150–£250.

Some keys on my MacBook Air stick or type twice. Can you fix it?

Yes. MacBook Air models from 2018 and 2019, and the 12-inch MacBook, use Apple's thin "butterfly" keyboard, which is prone to sticking, repeating or dead keys, often caused by dust or crumbs. We can clean it or replace the keyboard, depending on the fault.

I've spilled a drink on my MacBook Air. What should I do?

Switch it off straight away, don't try to charge it, and bring it in as soon as you can. Liquid causes corrosion on the logic board over time, so the sooner we clean and assess it, the better the chance of a repair.

Can you upgrade my MacBook Air?

It depends on the model. MacBook Air models from 2013 to 2017 can have their SSD upgraded to a larger or faster one. Models from 2018 onwards, including all M1, M2, M3 and M4 models, have their storage and memory built onto the logic board, so they can't be upgraded.

Can you replace a cracked MacBook Air screen?

Yes. The thin lids on MacBook Air models can crack from pressure, for example if the lid is closed on something or the laptop is squeezed in a bag. We replace screens on all MacBook Air models, with refurbished screens from around £250.

How do I find my MacBook Air's model?

Click the Apple menu at the top left of the screen and choose About This Mac to see the model and year. If it won't turn on, look at the small print on the bottom of the case for a model number beginning with A, such as A2337 for the M1 MacBook Air.

Is my MacBook Air still under warranty?

If your MacBook Air is still under Apple's warranty or AppleCare+, check with Apple first, as the repair may be covered. For Macs outside warranty, we can quote for the repair.
