Liquid Retina display repairs for A3201 in Sydney
At Mac Screen Repair Sydney we specialise in the aspects of screen repair for the MacBook Air 15 inch M4. The A3201 is the larger MacBook Air with the M4 chip and Liquid Retina display at 2880 x 1864. We do LCD only replacement and full display assembly depending on the condition of your housing.
The 15 inch display gives you more screen area which is great until its cracked. Had one come in from Castle Hill where the owner dropped it getting out of the car. Classic impact damage in the corner spreading across the panel. Housing was fine so LCD only repair sorted it out. They were back working on it same afternoon.
The team at Mac Screen Repair Sydney look at every machine before recommending anything. LCD only replacement means we take out the damaged panel and put a new one in while keeping your original aluminium housing. The housing cant have dents or bends for this to work properly. If theres damage to the housing then full display assembly is whats needed.
Most 15 inch M4 Air screens we see are good for LCD only. Theyre new machines so housings havent had time to accumulate damage. We did have one where the corner was dented from an impact and LCD only wasnt an option. Full assembly cost more but the result is the same quality display.
True Tone adjusts the display colour temperature based on the room lighting. On the A3201 this calibration data sits in the original housing. As such if we do LCD only then True Tone keeps working. Full assembly replacement means new housing and the True Tone data doesnt come with it.
The team have found most customers dont really notice either way. Its a subtle feature. But we explain it upfront so theres no surprises after the repair is done.
Drops and impacts are the main thing. The 15 inch screen is bigger so theres more surface area to crack if it hits something. Pressure damage is another one we see alot. Someone puts something heavy on a bag with the MacBook in it and the LCD fails in patches. Sometimes theres no visible crack on the outside but the display is clearly damaged underneath.
The M4 Air is thin and light which makes it portable but also means less structural protection than older thicker machines.
