The macbook air 11" / 2010 (A1370 model) , the battery is swollen and needs changing.

On removing the battery, it says - A1375 ( 020-6921-A)

I presume the A1375 is the battery part number?

I've seen variations of battery replacements on sale.

Does the battery have to be the exact same part number?

Or are there other newer batteries that can be used?

For example the A1406 battery?

Hello

I am curious to know, if anyone knows.

Viewing the batteries on offer here: http://www.newertech.com/batteries/

Would a mid 2011 macbook air 11" (battery part number A1406).

Work safely in a late 2010 macbook air 11" ? (Original battery part number A1375).

Whats the difference if any ?

The only difference I see is the part number. The connector plug to logic board, the 35wh wattages are the same as is the7.3 voltage.

Did apple just rename the part number between model years?

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks

I am prepared to replace the LCD glass and I'm aware of the difficulty involved, but before I go and order a panel, is there anything else that I can do or check first? I know there are a couple connections along the bottom edge of the screen once the bezel is removed. Is the LVDS connector replaceable on these?

My MacBook Air 13" 1.4 GHz i5 (early 2014) logic board is broken (irreparable)

My question is can I upgrade the motherboard to a better specification motherboard and if so what is the best motherboard /processor I can replace it with?

Also where is best place to purchase?

thx for help

I really want to do it myself and I want to learn, but I also don't want to ruin my computer by accidentally doing it wrong.

My main issue is this harddrive only has 60 gb of storage and many of the programs I run tend to run slow and crash a lot. Specifically I use photoshop and iMovie and they are incredibly buggy and regularly freeze or crash.

I have a Macbook Air 2015 A1465. (Not sure if it is Early or Late)

I just spilled water in the trackpad and suddenly it stopped working BOTH the keyboard and the trackpad.

The funny thing is that the KEYBOARD power button works and it boots :) (Crazy right?)

HOWEVER

I just opened it, saw that the trackpad connectors (actually all of them) it connects the keyboard, the trackpad with 2 flats, and one connectors that I GUESS connects everything with the MOTHERBOARD.

I used WD40 thinking that it would FIX IT. It doesn't..

My biggest doubt is do I need just to buy a new trackpad, since all the connectors (keyboard, trackpad, motherboard) and it will works?

OR

Do I need to buy also the FLEX CABLE that links everything to the motherboard?

AND/OR

a new keyboard also? (I am guessing that the keyboard is not the problem at all). Everything makes me think that the central connections from the trackpad was the thing that is broken OR only the flex that connects to the motherboard.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

How do I know the Apple Part Number?

I saw one trackpad from a Macbook Air 2011 it looks the same from both sides, but does it work? Does it need to be the exactly same part number, since it actually looks 100% the same?

Initially, the MacBook would not run without the charger plugged in (though the battery does charge) and it would not detect the SSD.

I thoroughly scrubbed everything with a brush and 99% isopropyl, and now I'm installing OS X on the ssd, but I'm not able to power on the MacBook without the charger connected.

The MagSafe indicates when charging and when fully charged. I've attempted SMC reset and NVRAM as well.

Could this fault be repaired by a replacement IO board?

Thanks for the advice Dan. I've never seen coconut battery recognize a battery that OS X doesn't. Is there some other function of coconut battery I don't know about?

As the gods smile upon me, the thorough cleaning and battery replacement did the trick. All is well!

Now I'm replacing my old MacBook Air 2011 with the 2015 model (the last one till now)

My question is if the SSD I got from the Mac Pro will be compatible with the Air.

If so I can buy the 128 GB version and replacing the 128 GB SSD by the one came from Mac Pro sparing me a lot of euros.

Will it work OK?

:

• Macbook Air (13", A1466) not powering up
• No charging light on MagSafe
• No sounds, not even fan
• Screen will occasionally come on displaying charging symbol or low power symbol

• SMC reset
• Disconnecting and reconnecting battery
• Different charger (non-official but working)
• Cleaning charging port

Okay, so firstly this is not my MacBook Air and nor do I know much about them, so please keep things simple. This is my friends device, he said it was being used as normal and then it suddenly switched off and never powered up again - the battery was apparently at 40% at the time.

I have tried all the above fixes with no success so far. Upon trying a new charger the charging light initially turned orange before going off again, this makes me think that there is some kind of charging issue. Also the screen occasionally shows that the device is charging before quickly going off again.

Is the issue the charging port, the battery or perhaps something else. Any help and direction would be kindly appreciated as I'm afraid I have little experience working with Macs.

My shift key has stopped working and the service centres have recommended that I replace the key board.

Why is there no iFixit manual for keyboard replacement? Where can I purchase a replacement keyboard?

Cheers

Since I was thinking of buying a 4gb version I noticed in your guide all the connectors as well as screw positions seem identical to the 2011 model (except the keyboard light which wouldn't be used anyway)

Can it be used this way? Does the IO board cable connector which supports Thunderbolt in the 2011 poses any issues if used with the 2010 IO board?

Is the bluetooth module compatible?

Worst case scenario if you think I should give it a go, I would buy a 2011 logicboard, try it and if it doesn't work I would try to resell it, but obviously that only works if it doesn't get damaged somehow...

Thank you for your time and all the invaluable info you share.

I have a very frustrating issue.

A customer has come to my shop with a this Macbook air for the internal sound not working.

First of all I noticed that the "Alt Sound Option" was only showing Headphones, when none were plugged in.

So I replaced the IO board and data flex connecting it to the main board, no change to issue.

Then I used a USB drive with a known good copy of OSX on it, no change to issue

Next I replaced the logic board, no change to issue.

Next I removed the logic board from the chassis incase there was some kind of short from the casing, I set the logic board and IO board up in my test bay and connected only the required hardware to boot the device.

So the state of play so far is, new logic board, new IO board and flex, no SSD, OSX loaded from external HDD, no wifi board, new internal speakers connected, new fan.

THE ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT.

How can this be possible?

I should note that the start up chime works .

Also when using headphones the sound is really low on both IO boards and logic boards, but when I would use the MIDI setup and mute either channel one or two on the output the sound is at the correct volume on the headphones.

Also note internal speakers do not appear anywhere in the MIDI setup only headphones, even with new parts.

Any Help would let me sleep tonight.

Cheers

Brendan
