Repair Complete 12 Months Warranty

Microsmith Electronics in Newport completed a screen replacement on a Apple MacBook Air A2179. This is one of the most common repairs we carry out at our Newport workshop, and we stock parts for a wide range of MacBook models so most jobs can be turned around the same day.

What Was Wrong

The MacBook Air A2179 (2020) features Apple’s Retina display — a high-resolution IPS panel that’s noticeably sharper than older MacBook screens. The crack had spread from the pressure point across most of the display, with significant backlight bleed making the machine unusable.

How We Fixed It

The damaged screen assembly was carefully removed and replaced with a quality unit. Touch response, brightness, colour accuracy, and any dead pixels were all tested before the device was returned to the customer. The repair is backed by our 12-month warranty on parts and labour.
