I see many sites that advertise replacement 13" LCD screens for the Macbook Air for the A1237 but I don’t see the new model (mid 2010) A1369 listed as compatible. Are they the same? Can I use the same LCD screen for the new model? Thanks, Mike
The new machine uses the 661-5732: http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Apple-LCD-Dis… UPDATE 8/2011 the 661-5732 can now be had for $358, new: http://www.smartmicrousa.com/apple-661-5…
The new model is LED backlit, so you’d want to get the part specifically for the new machine. The older screens are not as good.
maybe you can get help in an authorization apple service! for US: http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/ for germany and austria: http://www.apple.com/de/buy/locator/
The screen on A1369 is ridiculously fragile, we have had two break within 6 months from extremely minor incidents. Apple quote $1100 AU to fix!! Basically if screen breaks (and it will) laptop is useless as too expensive to replace.
Can anybody vouch for the screen being sold by Smart Micro USA? Given the difficulty finding the screen anywhere for under $600, it seems a little too good to be true. I’m also wondering whether it’s LCD only or the whole display assembly. I’d read that the LCD could not be removed on this model.
