Thanks, this was enough for me to replace a screen on m MacBook Air. I had initial trouble with hinge screws loosening, but I put a tiny bit of penetrating oil and a few light taps and they came undone easily.

2018 and 2019 displays are not fully compatible because they added True Tone in July 2019. A 2018 screen on a July+ 2019 or 2020 model will work as a display, but the camera and True Tone won't work.

Outstanding video. Thank you. This was the second time I replaced the screen on this particular Macbook Air 2020 with the A2179 screen. Unfortunately, this time we had a microphone related problem after screen replacement and I don't know if the two are related. On video sessions, the remote party (not on the Macbook) hears an echo of their voice consistently. We've tried calls on multiple devices and the problem is consistent. Wondering if you have any idea if the microphone problem is related to the screen replacement in any way?

A tiny clear bead had fell onto my MacBook Air keyboard without me knowing and I had shut the lid. It wasn’t till I opened it that I saw all these vertical n horizontal lines and was confused as the outer screen looked normal. Then I found the bead. Turns out this has cracked the lcd screen which costs a lot to repair. I am unsure wether to go third party or Apple as I know Apple will have the right things but they will charge me a fortune. Honestly it’s so annoying bc I’ve only had it 2 months and have been super careful with it so for something so small to damage it this much I feel like it was out of my hands litterally

I asked a couple of third party repair shops, and they all declined my repair because apparently it would be difficult to replace the screen. ;/ Thank you for giving me hope that its still fixable >.< Will be bringing my laptop for repair next week to Apple. I hope they don't charge me too much for it. :(

@@lapfix I had this checked by Apple already, and there were no signs of food or liquid damage inside, the techs/engineers were thinking that the ants may have just been 'attracted' to the warmer temp / light from the laptop.

Warranty has just finished on mine, and I'm unlucky enough to live in Brazil where customer support basically doesn't exist... Never have I been so mad at a laptop, especially one made by Apple, worst purchase ever. :(

Great video. My only critique is that you should put the microphone closer to your mouth. Where you have a naturally nasal tone (not knocking you, I have one too) your speech already sounds muffled... add to that the distance between the mic and your mouth, and accounting for the pop filter on the mic tip, and yeah... it's just really hard to understand you at normal audio levels on a desktop, home theater setup. Still, thanks for the walkthrough!
