I watched your video several times before attempting to replace my wife's damaged screen. You're right, if we follow all the sets carefully, the replacement process is easy. My wife is happy one again with the repair, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world.

This is an admirable video. I do a bunch of screens every year. This was helpful. I would say this add in for whomever reads this post. Watch out using any high heat guns. The plastic film diffusers behind the screen may distort. I used a Hairdryer instead of heat gun and just worked the bezel with fingernails at first just to see.. It lifted a little in an area and I worked a credit card inside and then slowly worked around it I had a mini metal spatula available at BBB and used it. The tool this guy has looked like it worked well. Be patient. The other comment is that as I suspected when it came to how this gentlemen released the cables that is also accomplished by heating the perimeter of the screen until it can tilt toward the keyboard top first (just move the glass screen toward the keyboard as you would closing the lid. them once lying face down those cables are really easy to release and they don't stress. Thank you Milan for posting this video.

You're a f***ing legend! I finally made it to repair this thing after several hours of focused work. I took it to a repair store here in Bern, Switzerland and he wanted to change the hole assembly so i decided to replace it by my own. I costs me around 40 bucks in the end (he wanted 400!). I did a tiny scratch on the back sheet but it's not too bad, you won't see it straight away. The backlight cable instead was a b****. It was fine in the beginning but then started to have a loose connection and I had to take out the bezel again. I noticed that there was a cable like thing on the old LCD, that had the same shape as the backlight cable. I chucked that one in as well and then the connection was fine. Milan, I can't thank you enough for your super detailed guide you uploaded here! Now my Mac book air will live on for some more years to come! Cheers

The best LCD replacement video I have seen.

Hey Milan, Saturday I replaced the LCD on my mid 2011 macbook air & all worked great! Thanks so much for your detailed instructions! I have a couple of observations/suggestions: 1) I got my painting knife at AC moore, for those who are looking for one. 2) For some reason, the part you had said was the hardest, which was the removal of the LCD using the pryer and the heat gun, went extremely smoothly & took about 1 minute to do. 3) Despite trying to be very careful not to (per your instructions) I had a lot of trouble avoiding touching the backlight translucent layers beneath the LCD. I dropped a miniscrewdriver on it which left a mark, plus a couple of other times, leaving quite a few little marks on the film. I was quite worried that after I put it all together that it would look awful, however none of it showed at all and the screen looks perfect. 4) Despite the fact that you were very clear about making sure to put the middle ribbon cable back exactly as it was folding, I, somehow managed to put it on backwards &, of course nothing worked. Fortunately, I put 2&2 together & put it how it was supposed to go. For those of you planning on doing it, make sure that you can see the white stripe on the cable after you install it. All in all, everything went well & smoothly thanks to your detailed instructions. Thanks again for taking the time to do this, I really appreciate it! Sincerely, Brian Hiltscher

Just had my screen replaced by him ! ...took him 20 minutes and it looks FLAWLESS. I seriously almost paid out the ass to mail my macbook to another state to have it repaired for almost 3x the price, but it LITERALLY took him 20 minutes and it looks amazing. already left a review on your website, can't begin to explain how amazing my screen looks, you did an amazing job. thanks again ! (:

Just successfully replace the screen on my laptop. Boy was I sweating! No way I could have done it without this video! I was a bit naughty and get a lot of crap, fingerprints and scratches on the panel behind the screen. I used a brush to remove any particles. Once the screen was back on, it looked great! Can’t see the scratches or fingerprints at all. Thank you so much for this video! All the best

That was an intense video. I've worked on desktops, laptops, tablets, and phones before but never a mac. After seeing this, I feel confident to take on the challenge. Thank you.

Thanks Milan, this is fantastic. As I was just about to kick off I stumbled across your instructions, and immediately put a halt to the whole thing, until I go get myself all the tools you've shown. Many thanks - and I'll get back once I have triumphed in replacing my screen! :)

5 mins in, I agrees this is the best video on screen replacement. great instructions and knowledge!

ive always stayed away from Air screen replacement until I watched your video. Thank you. I owe you one rakija now :)

I replaced my screen using this video. Thanks for such a great video! Follow the directions, take your time, and it will work out.

Awesome ! I was able to replace my MBA screen thanks to this video. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

Thanks very much, Milan. After a few anxious moments I've now got a fully working Air. And yes, I watched the whole 42 minutes and several bits over and over again to make sure I was doing it correctly. I don't have a cat though......👍👍

Wow, you did a great job with this video. I've noticed that some of the best content on KZfaq has few votes and is hard to find. If I'd found this video a couple weeks ago I'd be done already.

You have a gift, I don't know how you removed the screen so well, I completely f***ed mine haha! But brilliant video, best one I could find for this machine

That cat came in the most critical moment!

You are a master, i will replace one in one week, waiting for the spare.

Your video was great help to me! This was my first time to fix the LCD and It was a success! Thank you.

Excellent. It worked for me too! Like Milan the second most difficult task is removing the connectors and LCD glass in one piece. But the hardest part is keeping Kitty and her fluff out of the proceedings!

Thank you very much. I work in an environment where the users are hard on their systems but cannot afford the damage to them.

Long shot because this was posted so long ago, but my screen is completely black. I hear the Apple sound when I boot it up, but nothing on the screen. I flipped the ribbon connection but it didn’t help. I did damage my backlight screen with the heat gun. It curled slightly in the corner. Would that cause the whole screen to be black? I tried to try my old screen but nothing with that one either. Although the old screen was severely cracked and little shards of glass are everywhere so I’m not shocked. Help 😩

I fucking did it. It took 9 hours.. but i fucking did it. I had to look at another video to attach the cables back. cool vid, man. thanks.

My friend's macbook has no internal damage but when it accidentally slipped from my hands it fell and the upper and lower corner bent. I have seen that it's possible to replace the metal surrounding the screen but how about the metal on the outermost part of the macbook and the metal surrounding the keyboard. Thank you.

Thanks so much for reply. Is it possible to cut out polarizer from another lcd and use that?

Hello, which kind of scotch you used? Could you please tell me the code name? Thanks! Great tutorial!

Hey Milan, so I've followed your awesome instructions but having removed the screen I've discovered the underneath layer/sheet has a big scratch/crack across it, help! Do I ignore it or do I have to replace that too? And if I have to replace it what am I looking for when I'm searching on eBay…?! Thanks in advance!!

Top rated excellent job Man. Thank You!! A five star for me *****

How Many grades do You use the health gun?

I have got the boot up noise after trouble shooting. No backlight or new screen illumination....this is the EDP right hand cable? Does this mean the left one is good?

Really thanks a lot!!!! I did it first time exactly like on video , and everything was perfect

Can you please clarify what tape you used (or would be appropriate)?

you are good buddy, you have the patience, I enjoyed it truly very nice, detailed and informative, good job once again. Bravo

Hi Milan, please could you say me more or less the thickness of the 3M Core 4000 series tape you used in this video? I have another robust 3M tape which is 1.1 mm and I don't know if it is OK

Awesome video! Replacement successful. Thanks!

what he said is true. i really fuck it up,buying the parts again

i did everything as on video but when i try to turn on my mac it doesnt play sound and black screen. i connected my phone via usb and it starts charging which means macbook starts

Hello very good video, but I have a problem. I did everything as you Indicate, but the screen is not seen, This very dark, if put to light logrogro see something. I Realized That does not turn the LED cover and lcd THEREFORE :( not see. Is there any solution to this problem. I hope you can help me. Thank you very much

Sir could you specify what double sided tape do you use?

How do I replace the led strip for the back light?

Hi Milan. Please help. I have damaged the thin diffusers and I have ordered some more. They've arrived but I don't know what colour order they need to be. I know the white goes to the rear but what about the other 3?

Thank you that was very helpful. I've just ordered one.

Hi Milan, I have a question for you, I swapped the screen to 11"macbook air according to your video. When I turn on the notebook, the display backlight does not turn on so nothing can be seen.. Where could I make a mistake? Thank you for your response. Peter

What's the name of the tape I have tried double stick tape and that didn't not work, and for you guys who installed your new screen with black light not working it the way you installed the smaller connection it is in backward I know it happen to me.

Hi Milan, thanks for creating this extremely detailed DIY video! I am preparing to replace my damaged lcd, have ordered to LCD, and the double sided tape (5mm&10mm). Do you, by chance, have a complete list of tools required for the job? Any recommendations on where to acquire the tools? Thanks in advance! Brian

This is the best lcd replacement video I've seen on youtube. Ignore that other person who asked you to edit it. I enjoy the detail, as it is a detailed procedure. I'm a little stuck. Unlike you, I removed the back layers because the screen was broken from the apple logo and I needed to flatten out dent on the outside housing. I can't for the life of me figure out the correct order of the layers. Is there anyway you can help with this? Thanks in advance.

Can you send me what type of tape that is

I think it's a bad replacement screen. Sending it back after seeing a screw driven into the board. I tested the old cracked screen to be sure the backlight does work, and it does, so, I guess it's a bad screen. I lined up the 2 boards of the screens to compare them and noticed and small screw driven into the board.

Very good explanation and good video. thanks

Hey buddy, what doble side sticky tape you bought?

The power sound would signal, but no light on the new screen. Old cracked screen still lights up but is a unusable.

what do i do if i am missing a small screw of the last 2...can i turn on the screen if those 2 screws are not in, thank you.

Hi, where I can get the tools? Thx

i didnt see any film sheets came out on your video...on my three of them came when i peeled off the screen(some of them are scratched) and there is another one thin plastic remaning on assembly...what are they for?do they have to be replaced or do they,come with a new screen?

Great Video! Successfully uninstalled old and installed new lcd screen. However, the LED Backlight does not come on. reconnected all connections and no luck. Any advice?

Zdravo Milan! Thank you for your great videos. One quick question: I've damaged the glass that is behind the rear reflective sheets. Is there any chance to fix it without replacing the whole thing (screen panel)?

I have sound but no light. Any advice to trouble shoot or how to replace the light?

how do you change the cable? do you have to take apart the LCD from its layers?

My polarizer sheet got dmaged by too much heat. Can I buy this seperately?

Wow men thanks! You are awesome, you really help me

Rhe frames on my screen are really slwow dissepearing thx in advance

hello Please, what is the name of this tool what you use to open bezel Where can I find it Thank you!

How many mm is the adhesive strip?

I tore the ribbon cable that connects to the inverter is there any way to fix that?

Great video, thank you for making it.

Thank you that was very helpful.

i replaced the screen, however theres no backlight. i can make out the display when i shine a torch, any help?

Next time have the cat spray for dust, might as well put him to work, too. LOL, just kidding. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome job dude, how long have you been doing this. I am going to replacing a screen for a MacBook Air 11 inch soon. Hopefully all goes well.

Do you mind telling me where do you get the part from? I get these for $175 which is pricey but I understand if you don't like to disclose your vendor

Nice job

Excellent AAA ++++

thank you a lot you helped me a lot

good vid,, best one i have seen ..good work :)

Can we do it without heat?

Watching this video in 2017 and wondering if you could help me please. My screen has ink on almost half the screen. Which screen do I need. I can't ship to you, too far away 😂😂

YOu need the camera position right :-D . Btw nice overall!

you are amazing!

Hey man I have a line in my screen horizontal it disappears sometimes

Someone told me it’s a ribbon that needs to be change

Milane pogledaj mailbox plz, potrebna mi je pomoc..

great video man, never doing this fucking repair again though. Wanted to kill myself separating the screen from the backlight, and again when trying to attach those fucking cables. Then the screen didn't work. Now I have to go yell at China.

SMH the most critical part that matters the most was blocked out by what look like your shoulder! really? smh we missed the part where you connected back the LCD connectors.

Don't order repairs through the above links. Guy does not respond. No contact info on websites. You've been warned!

dude - one word: edit. We don't need to watch you spending 42 minutes pickin crap off the bezel.

Thanks so much for reply. Is it possible to cut out polarizer from another lcd and use that?

My friend's macbook has no internal damage but when it accidentally slipped from my hands it fell and the upper and lower corner bent. I have seen that it's possible to replace the metal surrounding the screen but how about the metal on the outermost part of the macbook and the metal surrounding the keyboard. Thank you.
