What we fix
What does MacBook Air M3 repair cover?
From a cracked screen to a dead logic board, our technicians handle every repair in our Dubai Media City workshop.
Screen Repair→
Cracked or flickering Liquid Retina display? We replace panels same day for all Air models, Intel through M5.
Battery Replacement→
Swollen battery, rapid drain, or heat issues? We restore full capacity with OEM-grade cells. AED 450 same day.
Keyboard Repair→
Butterfly (Intel 2018-2019) or scissor (2020 onwards): stuck keys, double-typing, or full top-case replacement.
Water Damage Repair→
Liquid spill? Power off immediately. Our board-level technicians dry, clean, and restore water-damaged MacBook Airs.
Not Charging Fix→
USB-C or MagSafe 2 not charging? We diagnose the port, cable, or charging IC and get your Air powering up again.
Trackpad Repair→
Trackpad not clicking or behaving erratically? We recalibrate, repair, or replace Force Touch trackpads on all Air models.
Logic Board Repair→
Power rail faults, no-video, or dead machine? Component-level repair restores function without a full board swap.
Data Recovery→
Lost files after a failed drive or liquid damage? We retrieve data from faulty SSDs and logic boards.
Overheating Fix→
MacBook Air is fanless. Dubai heat plus sustained load causes throttling. We reclean thermal pads and inspect for board faults.
Won't Turn On→
Dead MacBook Air? We diagnose power rail failures, SMC issues, and logic board faults to bring it back to life.
Running Slow→
Slow startup or sluggish apps? We tune macOS, clear startup bloat, and replace degraded thermal pads.
Hinge Repair→
Loose or stiff lid hinge? We repair or replace MacBook Air hinges so the screen opens and closes smoothly again.
How it works
How does our MacBook Air repair process work?
Simple, transparent, and fast. Here is what happens when you bring in your MacBook Air.
01
Free diagnosis
Drop in, ship, or book a free pickup. We diagnose hardware and software at no charge and report back before any work starts.
02
Fixed quote
You receive a transparent AED quote before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden add-ons.
03
Expert repair
Your MacBook Air is repaired by a specialist with 21 years on Apple hardware, using OEM-grade parts.
04
Quality check
Every repair passes a full function test: battery cycle, display calibration, keyboard scan, ports — all verified before handover.
Warning signs
What are the signs your MacBook Air M3 needs repair?
Running slowly
Long startup, lag on basic tasks, or thermal throttle from Dubai heat with no fan.
Overheating
Chassis too hot to touch at idle. Fanless design means heat exits through aluminium.
Battery problems
Drains in 2-3 hours instead of 15+, won't charge, or the case is bulging.
Screen issues
Cracked Liquid Retina, flickering, dead backlight, or colour lines.
Keyboard / trackpad
Keys stuck, double-typing, butterfly failure, or trackpad won't click.
Liquid damage
Spilled liquid — power off immediately and bring it in for board cleaning.
Frequent crashes
Random shutdowns, kernel panics, or black screens on wake.
WiFi / Bluetooth
WiFi dropping after sleep or Bluetooth refusing to pair with any device.
Burning smell
Any burning or unusual smell needs urgent attention — bring it in same day.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking your MacBook Air M3 repair.
Pricing & booking
- MacBook Air M3 screen replacement costs AED 600 for the 13-inch and AED 700 for the 15-inch at our workshop. Apple Store charges AED 1,099-1,199. We use OEM-grade Liquid Retina panels with the same 2560x1600 or 2880x1864 resolution. Same-day service available.
- MacBook Air M3 battery replacement costs AED 450 for the 13-inch (52.6 Wh) and AED 500 for the 15-inch (66.5 Wh). Apple charges AED 899-999. We use OEM-grade cells and complete the job in 45-60 minutes. 12-month warranty on the replacement.
Parts & warranty
- MacBook Air M3 supports two external displays only when the lid is closed. With the lid open, it supports one external display. If your second monitor is not showing after closing the lid, check Display Settings in System Settings and ensure both monitors are detected. If the issue persists, check the USB-C dock firmware. We diagnose display faults for free.
- We have seen some MacBook Air M3 units with backlight inconsistency at low brightness levels on the 13-inch (uniform glow issue visible in dark rooms). This is a panel manufacturing variance, not a logic board fault. Screen replacement resolves it. Free diagnosis confirms whether it is panel or board related.
- Screen replacement: 45-90 minutes. Battery replacement: 45-60 minutes. Top-case (keyboard): 2-3 hours. Board repair: 24-48 hours. Same-day service for screen and battery with morning drop-off.
- MacBook Air M3 is still a current-generation machine and will receive macOS updates until at least 2029. Screen repair at AED 600 or battery at AED 450 costs far less than upgrading to M4 at AED 4,499+. Unless you specifically need the M4's efficiency gains or Sky Blue colour, repair is the better value.
