MacBook Air (M2, 2022)

Begin with standard prep before any hardware work: confirm the Mac model, protect data, isolate power, and document the original layout. This reduces screw mix-ups, prevents accidental shorts, and makes later component replacement safer and faster.

This procedure restores one or more keyboard keys by replacing the keycap, scissor mechanism, or related support parts. It is typically used for missing, sticky, or non-responsive keys on Mac notebook keyboards.

This procedure replaces the lower aluminum or plastic enclosure of the Mac, usually after denting, stripped screw holes, or structural damage. The job requires transferring internal parts, buttons, and brackets only as needed and confirming proper fit afterward.

This procedure covers removing and replacing the decorative and protective hinge covers at the display hinge area. Though simple, the covers can hide fasteners and fragile clips, so controlled prying and correct orientation are important.

Heat sink replacement involves removing the cooling assembly from the processor or other hot components, cleaning away old thermal compound, and reinstalling the replacement with correct pressure. Because the heat sink affects both cooling and board integrity, even fastening is critical.

This procedure replaces the MagSafe 3 charging board and its associated connector assembly. It is typically performed when charging is intermittent, the connector is damaged, or the port no longer holds the cable securely.

This procedure involves removing, replacing, or reseating the trackpad and its dedicated flex cable. It requires careful handling to maintain precise trackpad positioning, proper click mechanism function, and reliable communication with the logic board.

This procedure applies to systems with multiple USB-C boards that work together for power, data, or display routing. The key concerns are keeping each board matched to its location, preserving cable orientation, and avoiding confusion between similar connectors.

This procedure replaces the left speaker assembly that also carries antenna routing or related coaxial hardware. It requires extra care around fragile antenna leads, connectors, and the speaker cable path.

This procedure replaces a combined right speaker and antenna assembly, common in machines where wireless antenna hardware shares the speaker housing area. The job requires careful cable handling, precise routing, and protection of the antenna leads from kinks or strain.

This procedure replaces the lid angle sensor that reports display angle to the system. It is commonly used when sleep behavior, brightness changes, or lid detection becomes inconsistent.

This procedure replaces the main logic board, which controls power distribution, storage access, and most system functions. It is a major repair that requires careful cable management, thorough screw tracking, and post-installation testing.

This procedure involves replacing the internal audio board that manages headphone, microphone, or speaker-related connections on some Mac models. The work usually includes disconnecting several small cables, removing a compact board, and verifying clean audio output after installation.

This procedure covers removing and replacing the internal battery pack. The work usually includes disconnecting power, softening adhesive, and lifting out the battery safely without stressing the cells or nearby logic board components.

This procedure covers removing and replacing the complete display assembly, including the panel, housing, and attached components. The work requires controlled handling because the display is large, fragile, and often connected by multiple delicate cables and brackets.

This procedure replaces the Touch ID board or sensor assembly associated with the power button area. Because this component is security-sensitive, technicians should handle it carefully, preserve cable integrity, and confirm model compatibility before final assembly.

This procedure replaces the upper case assembly when the keyboard is the primary service component, often without a battery transfer. It generally includes disconnecting the keyboard-related cables, removing fasteners, and reinstalling the assembly with careful alignment.
