Retina display repairs for A2179 Intel models in Sydney
At Mac Screen Repair Sydney we specialise in the aspects of screen repair for the MacBook Air 13 inch 2020. The A2179 is the Intel version from early 2020 and uses a Retina display at 2560 x 1600 with True Tone. We offer LCD only replacement and full display assembly depending on what is required.
This was the last Intel Air before Apple switched to M1 later that year. We still see alot of these come through. Had one from Liverpool where the owner sat on it in bed. Classic pressure damage across the middle of the display. Housing was fine so LCD only worked out.
The team at Mac Screen Repair Sydney assess every machine before recommending a repair path. LCD only replacement means we swap out the damaged panel while keeping your existing aluminium housing. The housing cant have dents or bends for this to work. If theres housing damage then full display assembly is the way forward.
The 2020 Air has the same wedge design as older models. Pretty robust but drops still cause problems. We had one where it fell off a kitchen counter onto tiles. Bent housing meant full assembly was the only option but the result was a good as new display.
True Tone adjusts display colour based on room lighting. On the A2179 the calibration data is stored in the display housing itself. As such LCD only repair keeps True Tone working because we keep that original housing. Full assembly replacement means new housing and the True Tone data doesnt come across.
The team have explained this to alot of customers over the years. Most find they dont really notice True Tone in daily use but we make sure you know before any work starts.
Impact cracks from drops are common. The display cracks on impact with visible fracture lines. Pressure damage is another frequent one where something heavy gets pressed against the closed lid. The LCD fails in sections but the glass might look ok from outside.
These machines are a few years old now so we also see general wear issues. Vertical lines appearing, colour distortion, backlight problems. All repairable.
