MacBook Air Screen Replacement Cost – Roadmap to the perfect decision

If you are reading this, there’s a high chance that you are in an emergency! Your precious MacBook Air is injured. More precisely, the display is dead! But don’t panic. One bad decision taken in haste can cause irreparable damage to your device. So, it’s better to get a clear idea about the MacBook Air screen replacement cost and a few other equally important points. This will help you to make a crystal clear decision.

Apple did an impeccable job in building the display of the MacBook Air. They introduced the LED-backlit display with IPS technology, a native resolution of 2560×1664 at 224 pixels per inch to support millions of colours, and the very convenient true tone technology. True Tone uses sensors to measure the colour temperature and brightness of the ambient light and set the screen brightness accordingly. No wonder you spent so much time looking at your MacBook Air screen!

Now please don’t think I am rubbing salt into your wound, but it is important to discuss a few common causes of MacBook Air screen damage. This will help you to understand the repair process.

Some of the common causes of MacBook Air screen damage

First of all, there can be damage caused by water. Water can harm the display panel significantly by disrupting multiple circuits. It’s a very common reason, especially during monsoon.

Physical damage to the screen, or the device in general, is also a very common cause of a broken MacBook Air display.

Another rare accident is damage to the display because of a short circuit.

Now, in any of the above cases, there’s only one solution. The replacement of the entire display panel. Even if the damage is partial. But why’s that? Because that’s how LED display works. Each of the pixels is lit by an individual light-emitting diode and these diodes are interconnected. That’s why it is necessary to replace the entire display panel. But the complication doesn’t end here!

In MacBook Air M1 & M2, the display panel is fitted to the mainboard with a hinge. So, to make sure that the lid closes properly after replacing the panel, the hinge has to be of the accurate size. The best way to ensure this is to go for the original Apple-manufactured or OEM parts. One more reason to go for the original is that Aftermarket displays will not support the True Tone feature, as the technology works only with the original Apple display. Hence, not using original parts will significantly change the display quality. Moreover, there isn’t a huge price difference between OEM display panels and Aftermarket display panels.

So, where can you get your MacBook Air screen replaced?

There are a few Independent Repair Providers (IRP) who are authorized to use OEM parts and are certified by Apple. The best example of an IRP in India is Rapid Repair. Not only they are a master of repairing Apple gadgets, but they also provide facilities like remote diagnostics and doorstep pick-up and delivery of devices, that too without any extra cost. Moreover, the time required in the entire process gets shorter, as Apple takes a maximum of two working days to issue parts to an IRP. But the best part is, that you will get a lifetime warranty with Rapid Repair.

Now, as the cost of using a new OEM MacBook Air display gets too high, Rapid Repair offers its clients the option to get their MacBook Air display with a used OEM display in perfect working condition from an old MacBook Air model. This ensures the same display quality at a significantly lower price.

Let’s compare the costs involved in both options.

MacBook Air screen replacement cost: Apple Authorized Service Centre VS IRP

 Apple Original – UsedApple Original – New
MacBook Air 2015 13″Rs 15000/-N/A
MacBook Air 2016 13″Rs 15000/-N/A
MacBook Air 2017 13″Rs 18000/-N/A
MacBook Air 2018 13″Rs 25000/-Rs 32000/-
MacBook Air 2019 13″Rs 25000/-Rs 32000/-
MacBook Air M1 13″N/ARs 32000/-
MacBook Air M2 13″N/ARs 36000/-

So that was all about MacBook Air screen replacement.

How to fix iPad charging issue?

Imagine, in between your favourite web series, when a killer is about to strike the lead character, your iPad switches off. Frustrated, you get the charger for your iPad, plug it in a socket, turn on the switch, and find out that your iPad is not charging. Now that can be the height of your frustration. But wait! There are credible solutions to your iPad charging problems. Just be patient. Usually, an iPad can stop charging due to a hardware-related issue or a glitch in the software. Hacks are there to tackle both arms of this problem. Let’s see how.

Five tips to fix iPad charging problems

Source: Fixandgony

Here are a few troubleshooting you can try if your iPad is not charging,

Check the adapter and the cable – Look for any physical damage to the cable or the adapter like a bent connector. If they look fine, plug the adapter into different sockets and see if it is working. If not, put a different cable in the adapter and then plug it into the socket to see if the issue persists. This way you will find out if the fault is in the cable or the adapter.

Force restart your iPad – Once you are sure that your iPad’s adapter and cable are fine and still it’s not charging, try to force restart the device. To do that, press and quickly release the up and down volume buttons one after another. Then press and hold the top button until the iPad restarts. If you are using an old iPad, try pressing the top or side button and the home button simultaneously and hold them until the Apple logo appears. Once your device restarts, check if the issue persists.

Update your iPadOS – Sometimes, your iPad can stop charging because of an outdated iPadOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Updates. There you will get the information about the iPadOS you are using and whether any update is available. If you find an available update, install it and check if the iPad charging problems remain.

Clean the charging port – With time, dust and debris can get into the charging port of your iPad and prevent a strong connection to the charging cable. Clean the port gently with a soft brush or compressed air and then try to charge your iPad. Avoid using sharp or metallic objects that can cause damage.

Check the battery health – An iPad can stop charging if the condition of the battery is poor. You can check the battery health by going to the Settings app, clicking on Battery and then selecting Battery Health. You will get all the relevant information. If the capacity of your battery to hold charge is less than 80% of the capacity when it was brand new, the battery needs a replacement.

These five troubleshooting tips will help you figure out why your charger won’t charge iPad. In case the issue persists due to a flaw in the battery or any other hardware, you can seek professional help.

The price charged by them differs heavily.

In this blog, you will learn about not only the best price charged in India to replace an iPhone SE screen but also the value for money it offers, which you should look for! But before that, let’s look at a few boxes you must tick before trusting a repair service provider with your iPhone.

iPhone SE screen replacement – Things that matter

Below are a few points that you must consider before selecting an iPhone SE screen damage repair service provider.

Apple original screen – If the damaged screen of your iPhone SE is not replaced with a genuine Apple OEM screen, the display quality will be affected, which will reduce the resell price and cancel any warranty on the device. Spare screens made by Apple Original Equipment Manufacturers will fit in the iPhone perfectly and retain the display quality. Not every repair service provider has access to Apple OEM spare parts.

Skills of technicians – iPhones are differently built. A repair technician needs some training and experience, to handle the complicated engineering of an iPhone SE. Not to mention, the job also needs best-in-class equipment, to reduce any risk of a faulty repair.

Warranty period – An enquiry should be made on whether there is any warranty provided on the service. More importantly, it must be ensured that there is a warranty on the spare screen. This will save you from harassment in the future if any fault arises on the display of your iPhone SE.

Time to repair – Before giving your iPhone SE for screen replacement, you must ask about the time they need to repair your iPhone. It always helps to know beforehand how long you have to stay separated from your iPhone.

Other additional services – Ask the repair service provider if they provide doorstep pickup and delivery of your gadget. You can also enquire about additional services like free diagnosis of the gadget and provision of a spare smartphone for the repair time.

Hidden charges – While enquiring about the price, it is always wise to ask if any hidden charges are involved. Just like the popcorn seller in multiplexes who confuses you into paying for the ‘complimentary’ instant popcorn packet, many repair service providers can add hidden charges to the bill.

So now that you are aware of the criteria for selecting the best iPhone SE screen replacement service in India, let’s get to the price point.

iPhone SE screen replacement – What is the cost

As mentioned earlier, not every iPhone repair service provider has access to genuine Apple OEM spare parts. As we have already talked about the importance of using an OEM screen for your iPhone SE screen replacement, here, we will disclose the price charged by the service centres that can get hold of them. Apart from Apple-authorized service centres, only a handful of independent repair providers can source genuine Apple OEM parts. Rapid Repair is the best independent repair provider for Apple gadgets in India.

An Apple-authorized service centre will charge around Rs 13,200/- to replace the screen of the iPhone SE 2nd and 3rd generations. If you have an AppleCare+ subscription, then you can get the job done by paying just Rs 2,500/-.

An iPhone SE 1st generation screen replacement service at Rapid Repair will cost you Rs 2,500/- plus GST. For iPhone SE 2nd and 3rd generations, they will charge Rs 5,500/- plus GST.

MacBook Air M3: Specifications, Design Color & Price in India

MacBook Air M3 Feature Details

Whether you are planning to step into the Mac world or think it’s time to replace your old MacBook with a new one, it’s important to know the nitty-gritty of a preferred model. After its launch on 4th March this year, you might have heard about the latest Apple MacBook Air M3. It comes in the 13-inch and 15-inch models. However detailed research is a must before making the buying decision. Will the MacBook Air M3 suit your needs? How is it better than the MacBook Air M2? Can it be an alternative to MacBook Pro? And most importantly, is the price worth it? The answer to these questions can help you to make the right decision.

After its launch in October last year, the Apple-made M3 silicon chip has been the talk of the tech town for a long time. The tech giant claimed the CPU performance of the M3 chip is up to 30% faster than M2. In comparison to the fastest Intel-based MacBook Air, it is 13x faster. So a MacBook Air M3 is an obvious choice over a MacBook Air M2. Both come in the same price range. The sleek fan-less design and a significantly light weight of 1.5 kg can also make you consider it a replacement for some entry-level MacBook Pro models. But, to make a fair decision you need to know more.

MacBook Air M3 – Specifications and details

Now, let’s talk about the MacBook Air 13 features. Some of them are freshly introduced and some shadow the earlier MacBook models.

MacBook Air M3 Colour & design

When it comes to the design, it is identical to the MacBook Air M2. The size of the keyboard is spacious enough and the trackpad is large. Both the 13-inch and 15-inch variants are available in Silver, Starlight, Space Grey, and Midnight colour options.

Performance of MacBook Air M3

Coming to the MacBook Air M3 performance, a 3-nanometre processing M3 chip powers this new batch of MacBook Air. The models in both sizes come with an 8-core CPU with four performance and 4 efficiency cores, along with a 16-core Neural Engine. Now this can ensure a smooth 4K video rendering, which is a hard job in comparison to many daily tasks you might carry on your MacBook Air. Coming to the graphics, all models of MacBook Air M3 are powered by a 10-core GPU except the 13-inch base model which comes with an 8-core GPU. The base models come with 8GB unified memory and are configurable up to 24GB.

MacBook Air M3 Display

Just like in the previous generation MacBook Air, Apple used the best-in-quality LED-backlit with IPS technology and 500 nits brightness. With Wide Colour (P3) and True Tone technology, it supports up to 1 billion colours. The brightness is automatically adjusted in accordance with the available surrounding light. Typically, the Mac Air M3 supports one external display with up to 6K resolution at 60Hz. But there’s an update here. Close the lid of the MacBook and you will be able to connect to a second external display with up to 5K resolution at 60Hz.

MacBook Air M3 Battery & Power

Apple claims that the MacBook Air M3 can support up to 18 hours of Apple TV app movie playback and up to 15 hours of wireless web browsing. Charging can be done via two USB-C ports at a maximum speed of 70W. The MagSafe port is also an option for charging. The MacBook Air M3 battery life is dependent on how you use it. While tasks like video rendering and gaming will drain the battery faster, other tasks can prolong the battery life.

Audio MacBook Air 3

Coming to the audio, there’s an upgrade from the previous generation MacBook Air. The 13-inch comes with a 4-speaker sound system and the 15-inch is equipped with a 6-speaker sound system with force-cancelling woofers. They support Spatial Audio when playing music or video with Dolby Atmos on built-in speakers and dynamic head tracking when using AirPods (3rd generation), AirPods Pro and AirPods Max. The supported audio formats include AAC, MP3, Apple Lossless, FLAC,

Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby Atmos.

Price of MacBook Air M3 in India

Coming to the price, the 13-inch MacBook Air M3 starts at Rs 1,14,900/- and can go up to Rs 1,54,900/-. The 15-inch models range between Rs 1,34,900/- and Rs 1,74,900/-. The price will vary according to the customised configuration and from the source you will be buying.

Why buy a Mac Air M3?

With all the above tech features, one thing is crystal clear MacBook Air M3 is a much better option than the M2 models and at times can be compared to MacBook Pro M3 models, which come for a higher price. No matter whether you are planning to upgrade your Mac or are a first-time Mac user, it is undoubtedly a good choice. For gamers, content creators, and music producers who travel often, a 16 GB variant can be a good option instead of the pricier and heavier MacBook Pro. Those who are looking for heavier tasks, like 3D rendering and all, can avoid MacBook Air. For general users, a MacBook Air M3 8 GB will be the perfect companion.

How to Repair Cracked iPhone Back Glass?

Source: GadgetGone

Most of the iPhone users who have dealt with a cracked iPhone back glass admitted that their hearts shattered when their iPhones fell on the ground. You must be feeling the same right now. Well, don’t worry, it was meant to happen someday. And to be honest, getting it repaired is not that much of a hassle if you have comprehensive knowledge. So, here you will find out iPhone back glass repair cost, options, and all that you need to know.

But before that. Let’s talk about the iPhone back glass a bit. Apple first used back glass in the iPhone 4. However, it was not until the launch of the iPhone 8 series that they introduced wireless charging. Due to its low conductivity, glass enables wireless charging. All iPhone models from the iPhone 8 support Qi wireless charging (up to 7.5 watts) and iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 15 series support MagSafe wireless charging (up to 15 watts). So the back glass of your iPhone is not just to make it look more sleek. There’s a greater purpose.

Therefore, don’t even think about a DIY repair. It can damage the iPhone even further. It is better to just simply put a back cover and hide the cracks than to try repairing it yourself. But even with a back cover, there’s always a risk of the crack spreading or water seeping in. So it’s better to get it replaced by a professional.

iPhone back glass repair options and costs

No matter which city you live in, go to the nearest market with mobile repair shops, and you will get an assurance that your iPhone back glass will be replaced and it will work the same. But one thing you don’t know is that these local mobile repair shops don’t have access to Original Equipment Manufacturers or OEM spare parts. These are genuine Apple spare parts and if these are not used in any repair work, the quality of the iPhone might deteriorate and it can affect the resale value and warranty. So we are keeping the local repair shops out of the equation. So below you will find only the most trusted options.

Apple Authorized Service Providers

You can get your iPhone back glass repaired in any Apple Authorized Service Centre. For that, you have to visit your nearest Apple Store and book an appointment.

The cost differs for AppleCare+ users and non-users. If you have subscribed to AppleCare+ the back glass repair cost for almost any iPhone will be around Rs 2500/-. But a two-year subscription cost of AppleCare+ for say, iPhone 13 is around Rs 14,900/-. Without AppleCare+, the iPhone 13 back glass replacement cost at an Apple Authorized Service Centre is around Rs 32,500/-.
