Liquid Retina display repairs for A3114 models
At Mac Screen Repair Sydney we specialise in the aspects of display repair for the MacBook Air 15 inch M3. The A3114 model came out in 2024 with the Liquid Retina display at 2880 x 1864 resolution and True Tone support. We handle LCD only replacement and full display assembly depending on what your situation needs.
Had an A3114 come in where the screen had a crack running from the bottom corner up through the middle. Owner said they didnt even drop it just closed the lid with something on the keyboard. That kind of pressure damage happens more than youd think. Housing was undamaged so we did LCD only and had it sorted within the day.
The team at Mac Screen Repair Sydney assess every MacBook before suggesting a repair approach. LCD only means we remove the cracked internal panel but keep the original aluminium housing and camera module. Housing has to be in good shape for this to work. If theres dents or bends then full display assembly replacement is the option.
Most M3 MacBook Air screens are candidates for LCD only since the machines are relatively new and housings havent taken much wear. We see alot of cracked panels with perfect housings. Thats the ideal scenario for LCD only repair.
True Tone on the A3114 adjusts display colour based on ambient lighting. The calibration data for this feature lives in the display housing. As such LCD only repair preserves True Tone because the housing stays in place. Full assembly replacement means new housing and True Tone wont function automatically after.
The team have found most people dont notice True Tone missing. Its subtle. But we explain it before any work starts so you know whats involved.
Cracked screens from drops and impacts are the most common thing we see. The 15 inch panel has alot of surface area so theres more to crack if it hits something at the wrong angle. Pressure damage is another one. Someone puts something on the closed MacBook or packs the bag too tight and the LCD fails internally. Sometimes no crack visible on the outside but dead patches across the display.
