What we fix
What does MacBook Air M5 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, same day. Use the quote form for today's price.
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.
Free diagnosis
Walk in to our Media City workshop, or send the details through the quote form first. We diagnose hardware and software at no charge and report back before any work starts.
Fixed quote
You receive a transparent, fixed quote before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden add-ons.
Expert repair
Your MacBook Air is repaired by a specialist working on Apple hardware since 2004, using OEM-grade parts.
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 M5 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 M5 repair.
Pricing & booking
- Both the 13-inch and 15-inch take the same Liquid Retina panel, quoted after a free diagnosis. Apple does not publish a Mac screen price (it inspects the Mac first), so we quote before any work and you can compare. We use OEM-grade Liquid Retina panels. Same-day service if you drop off before 11am.
- The 13-inch and 15-inch use different cells, so each is quoted separately after a free diagnosis. The M5 Air has a rated 30-hour battery life and a 52.6 Wh cell. We use OEM-grade cells with the same Wh rating. Turnaround is 45-60 minutes.
Parts & warranty
- The M5 chip is Apple's most power-efficient Air chip yet, with a lower TDP than M4. However, fanless design still means sustained 100% CPU load in Dubai's 35-40°C ambient can cause thermal throttling. Under normal use: documents, web, light video, the M5 Air runs cool. Under heavy sustained load: export, compilation, use Low Power Mode in summer.
- Yes. M5 MacBook Air uses the same Apple Silicon recovery process as M4 and M3: connect via USB-C to another Mac running Apple Configurator 2, put it into DFU mode (hold Power + Volume Down 10 sec), and restore. This recovers most firmware bricks without board repair.
- Yes. MacBook Air M5 supports USB Power Delivery 3.1 at up to 140W via USB-C, enabling faster charging than previous models. The included 35W dual USB-C adapter is adequate for most use. If you want to charge from 0 to 80% quickly, a 140W PD 3.1 adapter (Apple 140W or compatible) does it in under 90 minutes.
- Yes. A cracked screen repair is far cheaper than a new M5 Air, which Apple lists from AED 4,599 (13-inch). The M5 is also a current model with at least 5-6 years of software support ahead. Board damage and severe liquid damage are the cases where we recommend against repair.
