Apple MacBook Air A1466 backlight repair.

What Was Wrong

The MacBook Air A1466 (2012–2017) is well known for backlight circuit failures, usually caused by a blown backlight fuse or failed backlight cable. In this case the backlight cable had failed where it flexes near the hinge — a common wear point on this model.

The fault was diagnosed and the affected component repaired or replaced. The device was fully tested across all key functions before being returned. The repair is backed by our 12-month warranty on parts and labour.
