Replacing your screen disables its True Tone functionality.
必要な工具と部品
-
-
Power off your MacBook Air and unplug all cables.
-
Close the display and flip the laptop upside down. Keep the lid closed until you've physically disconnected the battery.
-
-
-
Use a P5 Pentalobe driver to remove the four 6.4 mm screws securing the lower case:
-
Two screws with a short threaded portion near the hinges
-
Two screws with a long threaded portion near the front of the MacBook
-
-
-
Apply a suction handle to the center of the lower case's front edge.
-
Pull up on the suction handle with strong, steady force to create a small gap between the lower case and the frame.
-
Insert an opening pick into the gap.
-
-
-
Slide the pick to the bottom right corner to release the first clip.
-
Slide the pick around the corner and up the right edge to release the next two clips.
-
-
-
Keep the lower case flat and firmly pull it straight away from the back edge, one corner at a time, to disengage the sliding tabs.
-
-
-
Remove the lower case.
-
Set the lower case in place and align the sliding tabs with the screw heads they slide over. Press down and slide the lower case toward the back edge to engage the tabs—it'll stop sliding as the tabs engage.
-
Once the lower case is flush with the frame, press down firmly along the perimeter to engage the four snapping clips.
-
-
-
Use a T3 Torx driver to remove the two 1.5 mm screws securing the battery connector cover.

If you plan to reuse your screen, apply tape to the glass above each hinge. This protects the glass from getting scratched in the next step.

Does the screen display normally after replacing it with the aftermarket screen? As far as I know, after 2021, MacBooks have problems with screen output when they are replaced with aftermarket screens.
Hi! We tested swapping screens between two M2 MacBook Airs and didn't find any issues with the screen. The problem is with the MacBook Pros.
Is this doable without scratching or chipping the body if done using the ifixit tool kit?
Hello! It's definitely doable! If you're worried, I would take extra care when standing the laptop up to make sure you set it on a surface that won't scratch the body. Also, be careful when guiding the hinges out of the frame to avoid brushing against the frame.
