What happened on this job

Microsmith Electronics in Newport completed a battery replacement on a Apple MacBook Air A1708. 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 A1708 battery had reached the end of its usable life after several years of daily use. macOS was reporting the battery as needing service, and the machine would shut down without warning at around 20–30% charge — a classic sign of a degraded battery that can no longer deliver stable power under load.

How We Fixed It

The original battery was removed and replaced with a quality replacement. Charge acceptance, capacity, and operating temperature were all verified before the device was returned. The repair is backed by our 12-month warranty on parts and labour.
