I did it! I’ve never done anything like this before in my life. You saved me hundreds! Thank you for sharing valuable knowledge. I followed you step by step at .75x speed. I will say the tools that come with the linked screen replacement have poor magnetism so it is worth it to have better tools. The screws are microscopic so the magnetism is super helpful!
Jan 12, 2024: Broke my screen by closing it on a usb-c charging cable that was resting on my laptop without me knowing - ouch and $$$! Followed this tutorial and took my time with it - the author did a great job to explain everything he was doing, step by step. Within an hour, my replacement screen was working on my Macbook Air. If you can follow instructions and take your time, you should be able to do the screen replacement without issues. One note is I needed a T5 screwdriver for the x2 black screws (not a T4) which was not mentioned in the video. Suggestions for anyone reading this: - Have a clean workspace - I vacuumed my desk before working to ensure no dust, hair, etc. would get in the work area. - Take advantage of pause/play for this tutorial using the computers space bar - Some of the screws are TINY - the tiniest I have ever seen. Have an additional light or two facing your work area. - Print a photocopy of your open laptop when the author tells you to in order to keep your screws in order - it was helpful.
December 29 2023, this video helped me do the screen replacement on my 3 year old Mac. Thank you so much for the detailed instructions and quality video. I ordered the screen on Amazon and 2 sets of tools on Amazon. The fine tips on the smaller drivers rounded off so I was glad I had a couple of extras. I am typing this on the repaired computer and the screen is clean and clear. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to me and thank you to the provider of this video. Based on the quotes I received from a couple of local repair shops, I saved over $200 at one and $400 at the other. Thanks, DC
I replaced the screen for a staff member at my company and we saved a lot of money. We have a couple more to fix and i know i can do it. I did buy a set of tools that were magnetized and didn't use the ones that came with the screen. Appreciate your video a LOT! You were very good at explaining and your camera work was excellent.
I did it, too! I'm a 58 year-old female homesteader. If I can do this anyone can! I had closed a cable connecting speakers on the right side of the screen and damaged it. He is easy to follow, accurate descriptions of everything, great camera placement. Some challenges I had were: 1) removing the back, thankfully my husband bought a kit for computer repair which contained plastic pryers in a few different sizes. There wasn't one in with the screen, which we bought on Amazon. Only used 2 tools that came with the screen T9 and T4. He says T8 in the video, but it came with T9, which fit. 2) removing the glued on bar, that took a bit of work. (which he says it will) I was thankful to be able to pause, rewind and watch again. I would recommend this fellow to anyone with computer issues! I'm even thinking about a career change...😊
Thank you so much for this video! You not only saved me money by not having to have someone else do it, but you made me look like a superstar to my wife!
Thank you! Very clear and helpful instructions. The ‘Lego’ analogy helps me understand. I was very careful and kept rewinding the video but did it in about 2-3 hours. I stopped to take photos and labeled the tiny screws .It was pretty difficult but patience is key and a great instructor! Thanks so much .
Almost cried when I closed the corner of my blanket inbetween the two laptop pieces and shattered the corner of the screen, taking almost an hour to come to terms with having to take a decent chunk out of savings to give to apple for a fix. Then I found your video, and saved literal hundreds of dollars and time!! You're a godsend, and your video was really easy to follow along to. 15 out of 10, thank you so much again!!!!!!! Will come back to your channel if I screw up any more of my tech in the future ❤❤😅.
Apple repairs make no sense....they were more expensive than a new model of the same laptop. Not to mention they lock features on newer models if you don't replace it from them directly...even if the screen is original.
I dont understand why the screens are so delicate. I hate it. Makes me debate on if its even worth it to fix if its just going to break again. Might as well buy a cheaper, less delicate computer 😭
I've also never done anything like this. It saved me about 250 dollars on having someone do it at a repair place. Watched one time all the way through then watched again following along pausing when needing to. Easy enough. Took me 30 min. Great job on the video. Thanks alot.
I just used this video to guide me in replacing the screen -- and although those are some TINY screws I managed to do it all correctly and it works perfectly now! **Thank you** for making such a well-produced guide!
Oh my GOSH man!!! I just have to say thank you SO MUCH! I was kind of freaked out about doing this at first...like heyyy...are these guys trying to rip me off? ...but I watched the video and ordered from your link below (I picked the one with the top amazon reviews, it was like 4.6 stars), and just decided to go for it. I’m in college, and the semester just began a couple of days ago...and my screen went dead. ALL my books, everything...are online. Everywhere was telling me it would be $450 bucks to replace and I don’t have that kind of money. Needless to say, you saved my life! I can’t thank you enough!!!
Great tutorial. Saved about $250 doing the repair myself. One deviation, some of the smallest screws holding down the Wi-Fi cable connectors were smaller than T4. I bought a screen that came with tools so I had what I needed, but they are not labeled so I don’t know what size they are. All in all, this was a pretty easy job. Definitely doable. I use a loop of blue painters tape to hold screws in the right place on the printout of the computer. Keeps things from rolling away.
Thanks Simon, possibly the best you tube guide I have ever seen. Step by step you guided me through from start to finish making it very simple and saved me a ton of money.
Just replaced our screen! The tutorial was spot on. The only thing is we used the T-3 instead of the T-4 in many cases. The video was easy to follow and spot on. We did take every precaution by using drawings with where the screens went to be sure we had the correct ones when putting the screen back together. Would not recommend doing this around kids...those screws are super tiny. Thumbs up on the video. A lot of good tips along the way.
Regarding the eBay and Amazon links posted in the description for the LCD screens, I followed them to check the price but they are from different sellers with prices ranging from $168-210. Is there any particular vendor you recommend over the others?or is it fair to assume all of them sell similar quality LCD screens?
@@thamsanqadaku aliexpress but make sure you buy the more expensive "full lcd assembly" option (they have much cheaper shipping to me than the states do)
This was sooooo helpful!!!! I am a college student and my laptop screen broke and I couldn’t do any schoolwork until I fixed it. I was able to sit down and replace this screen in 30 minutes!
Your video was super helpful. I followed it step-by-step and successfully replaced a broken screen. Thanks for taking the time to produce such a valuable resource.
Suffered through months of an old Surface waiting on the money (well over $400) to get my mac screem fixed. But then I found out I could do it myself and this video helped me successfully replace my screen in just a few hours. Thanks man, very helpful video.
Thank you so much for the tutorial, I was able to fix my daughters laptop screen and saved the cost of installation. For first timers like me I would recommended getting post it notes and labeling where the screws go. Or just keeping them in order somehow, I didn't and it was a little trial and error finding the right screws for the right spots. But in the end I got it done and have a very happy daughter. Thank you
A really great step by step tutorial! I followed everything and replaced the screen without any problems. A small recommendation: You could look online for broken macbooks with a working screen.. If you get a good offer you basically get a original apple display:) Thats what i did. Make sure your model and everything checks out and of course that the display is working!
Excellent video. I replaced my screen very easily. But now the keyboard isn't working. After a Google search apparently this can be an issue after replacing the screen. Hoping to find another video as good as yours to help me fix this keyboard issue now.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!! My wife's 2021 MacBook Air showed a three inch black bar on one side of the screen and as you can guess...Apple Care expired a few months ago!! After watching your video, I propositioned my wife to let me fix her laptop or I would buy her a new one. I then clicked on your links, received the screen overnight through Amazon, and repaired the screen-following your video step-by-step! You made it extremely easy to do, and the screen + the torque screw set cost me $195 - WAY better than paying Apple $700. You are a life-saver!!
Following this video and for someone who has never done this sort of thing, I replaced my MacBook screen within 35 minutes today. This saved me so much time and money than if I sent it to apple, quoted £460! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the video! Very educational. The ONLY thing I found that was kind of incorrect was, the bigger black screws were actually a T5 instead of T4 bit. I got worried I was stripping it and realizes it was actually a hair bigger than the T4. But I genuinely appreciate the video! It definitely helped me save money and helped me be more confident about taking on the job.
thank you so much!! i was about to despair when i figured i could probably do it myself, and your video made it so easy to understand and follow along:)
Got a dongle caught in my screen and cracked it. I watched this video and followed the steps and fixed it myself. My local repair shop quoted me $500.00 + taxes and I fixed it for $264.00. Awesome tutorial.
Thank you for this amazing and straightforward guide! Your step-by-step explanation made repairing my laptop so much easier. Truly appreciate your effort and the clarity of your presentation. Keep up the great work!”
Very easy step by step tutorial and very helpful. Would 100% recommend just go slow and follow along and do as he says and you won’t break anything. Apple told us it would cost 350 and we saved a lot because of this guy so thank you a bunch!!!!!
Thanks! Great video and instructions. I was able to replace my screen , took me about 1.5 hours though. If I had to do it again, I could probably knock it out in 20-30 mins. First time through these repairs you have to go slow and make sure you got the right driver for each screw and don't force anything apart. A few years ago I destroyed a Mac mini by being too rough and careless. Learned my lesson.
Excellent video! The instructions were very clear and precise. I did have T3 screws,instead of T4, on my LCD and WiFi brackets. Nothing that a change in screw driver was not able to solve. Apple estimated my repair between $500-$800. This cost me about $200 and less than a half hour to repair.
Dis Video Was AMAZINGLY Helpful … I Was Able 2 Replace My Screen On My Own!!! Repair Shop Was Charging $400 … I Purchased The Tools And The Screen Thru The Link U Provided For $210 Total And Followed The Video And Im BACK IN ACTION!!!
Extremely helpful. Saved myself a ton of money doing it myself. Your video was straight and to the point. I got ahead and was wondering why it wouldn’t turn back on then I heard you say to plug it back in.
I needed to replace the display on my MacBook Air after the screen suffered significant water damage that my insurance wouldn't cover (PSA - always check that your liquids have been properly resealed after random airport security testing!). I watched this video then ordered the replacement screen from Amazon and followed along step by step. Thank you so much -the video was extremely clear and easy to follow, and you saved me around £200. It took me around 45 minutes as my antenna bar was really securely glued and I was wrestling with my glasses and a magnifier but it all worked perfectly. I pressed the screws into a laptop-sized piece of polystyrene in their approximate positions and labelled it with post-its, and this made reassembly a breeze.
Great step by step instructions. I saved myself $260 to have it fixed or would have paid another $1000 for a new one. I only had my macbook air for a few days over a year so warranty expired. So happy with this solution. Thank you!
Really good instruction, thanks. The official Apple repair manual wants you to take the whole logic board out in order to make it easier to pop out the antenna. It *would* be easier to get it out if the logic board were removed, but doing is 1) a lot more work and 2) triggers the need for a new system configuration to be done - more hassle. Skip all that and follow the procedure outlined in this video. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! This guide quite literally saved me $1000 - not buying a new Mac/paying the Apple Store to fix my Mac is helping me save money to get engaged! Your instructions were so clear and watching you do it was so helpful. Literally cannot say thank you enough times :)
Thanks you so much for this video , you've just saved me 200$ of paying someone to fix my broken M1 Screen. I really appreciate you for this awesome video.
Thank you! Your video was very clear and helped immensely. I just replaced my daughter's MacBook Air screen and she is very happy. Note that the screws were various sizes and types. The outside case screws were pentalobe type and the inside screws were all torx (6 lobes) with the smallest size a T3. My model was A2337 EMC 3598. I made sure I had all the right screw bits before doing the job.
I cannot undo the very tight screws on the LCD latch with the T8 screwdriver around the 8:40 time on the video. Any tips???? I don’t want to strip the screw or use WD40.
So glad I found this video! I accidentally closed my laptop with a pen in the corner of it and part of my screen is black. Looks like it’s spreading too. Gonna order a new screen and try to fix it myself! Loved that your video is easy to follow along to and detailed!
Great video, many thanks. I followed your video and replaced the screen on my daughter's MacBook without any issues. Thanks for all the detail and hints!
Thanks very detailed and I was able to replace my daughters screen on her Macbook air M1 2020 rose gold version. i had slight problem with the little screws LOL!! they were a challenge but I made it through wit the help of a magnifying glass and my trusty police flashlight otherwise I would have not been able to put those little screws in. Thanks I liked and subscribed to your channel as well !
Thank you for video! Made a huge difference. For others, use a $20 precision toolkit, not the free tools. Makes a huge difference. Also, keep things organized in bags.
Awesome !! Thank you soo much !! Im pretty good at breaking things, but I thought I.d try my hand at fixing !! With your hekp I did it! Excellent tutorial !!
There's 3 different types of screws holding the back on: 6 shorties, 2 long ones with short threads and 2 long ones with longer threads. Take extra care to note which long ones came from where! The longer threads seem to go in the two center holes on either side of the model number printing. Thank you so much for these instructions!!!
Thank you so much, I made a bad decision of trying to unbent a corner on my macbook and end it up damaging the screen. Your tutorial gave me confidence and I bought a spare display and fixed myself, it worked like a charm thanks so much for your work
Thanks so much, my son left the mackbook air by the fire and the screen crinkled and warped! Replaced it in 1.5 hours following this, would have been quicker if I watched right to the end as mine would NOT turn back on until I plugged a charger in...you did mention it but I skipped the last bit of the video 🤦♂🤣
excellent! I followed step by step this easy procedure without taking picture, relying only on your video to put back all the tiny screws to their respective spot.
Thank you so much, i read the ifixit howto and got stuck on the part with the adhesive on the wifi antenna cover. Was really paranoid about how tough it was to remove. Your video helped me all the way through it. Thanks again!
It was very easy to follow! What I'm surprise for is that 20 k visits to this video means that 20k MacBook owners had the need to replace their screen, this doesn't speak well about Apple
thanks for the very nice video, very easy to follow, and made it a simple job after I damaged my screen with exposure to dew at night while using my telescope. good as new again!
Don't even try it unless you know what the hell you're doing. It's VERY EASY to screw up and ruin your own laptop, and then you'll be wishing you brought it to Apple.
@@ParkerXChen I don't care how old you are, or how fast you did it. If it went the other way, and it very well could have, you could be just as easily confirming I'm right instead of sitting there sanctimoniously gloating about something stupid you did and happened to get lucky about doing it. And just because you did get lucky and things happened to go your way, doesn't mean you still weren't taking a risk or acting stupidly for attempting to do it in the first place. Regardless, there are qualified people who actually earn a living doing this work, who also paid for professional training, and people like this guy who ignorantly post these videos for all to see and without forethought of that fact, and all just so he can play internet star and be Mr. Helpy Helperton, is in reality doing more harm than good by detrimentally affecting an entire industry. It's morons just like this guy here on TH-cam who ruin the ability of others to earn a living, and frankly that just pisses me off.
thank you thank you thank you for this amazing video, I suffered a lot since I never touch a laptop before besides to type on it. I was feeling like I was destroying my laptop, but yes, everything worked perfect. Thank you!!!!
I had only one problem the replacement screen wouldn’t close all the way. Had to take the screen back off and wiggle the hinges around a little bit they were very stiff. I added a little bit of lubricant on them and it helped as well.
Another satisfied customer. Thank you thank you thank you. Great video. The only thing is with the screen i bought from amazon is its not as bright. But i can live with it.
I did it! I’ve never done anything like this before in my life. You saved me hundreds! Thank you for sharing valuable knowledge. I followed you step by step at .75x speed.
I will say the tools that come with the linked screen replacement have poor magnetism so it is worth it to have better tools. The screws are microscopic so the magnetism is super helpful!
I had the same issue with the tools, just stroke them across each other a couple of times and it fixes the problem.

- Take advantage of pause/play for this tutorial using the computers space bar
- Some of the screws are TINY - the tiniest I have ever seen. Have an additional light or two facing your work area.
- Print a photocopy of your open laptop when the author tells you to in order to keep your screws in order - it was helpful.
I'd add a magnifying glass to your list - especially for anyone needing readers.

Detailed and accurate video. Doing a screen replacement as of this writing. Your guidance has made the nearly impossible, possible. Thanks
This video earned you a like and a subscribe. Saved me hundreds. No surprises, the repair went exactly as it is in the video. Great job.
Was able to replace this screen no problem with the help of this video. Thanks!
Really good instruction, thanks. The official Apple repair manual wants you to take the whole logic board out in order to make it easier to pop out the antenna. It *would* be easier to get it out if the logic board were removed, but doing is 1) a lot more work and 2) triggers the need for a new system configuration to be done - more hassle. Skip all that and follow the procedure outlined in this video. Thanks again!
Thank you so much! This guide quite literally saved me $1000 - not buying a new Mac/paying the Apple Store to fix my Mac is helping me save money to get engaged! Your instructions were so clear and watching you do it was so helpful. Literally cannot say thank you enough times :)
Glad it helped!
Thanks you so much for this video , you've just saved me 200$ of paying someone to fix my broken M1 Screen.
I really appreciate you for this awesome video.
I need to replace my 2020 Macbook Pro's screen. Your video made me believe in my potential.
Thank you! Your video was very clear and helped immensely. I just replaced my daughter's MacBook Air screen and she is very happy. Note that the screws were various sizes and types. The outside case screws were pentalobe type and the inside screws were all torx (6 lobes) with the smallest size a T3. My model was A2337 EMC 3598. I made sure I had all the right screw bits before doing the job.
I cannot undo the very tight screws on the LCD latch with the T8 screwdriver around the 8:40 time on the video. Any tips????
I don’t want to strip the screw or use WD40.
Thank you so much! You saved us hundreds of dollars. Your instructions are very precise and on point.
So glad I found this video! I accidentally closed my laptop with a pen in the corner of it and part of my screen is black. Looks like it’s spreading too. Gonna order a new screen and try to fix it myself! Loved that your video is easy to follow along to and detailed!
Excellent instructions! One of the best instructional videos I have seen for something so intricate.
Great video, I'll be replacing one of these for a customer next week. Thank you very much for your clear instructions.
Update: I completed the repair for my customer's MacBook quick and easily with your video. Thank you again, very helpful.
worked amazingly! have a brand new display now. Your instructions were perfect! Thank you so much!
Great video, many thanks. I followed your video and replaced the screen on my daughter's MacBook without any issues. Thanks for all the detail and hints!
Glad it helped
Thanks very detailed and I was able to replace my daughters screen on her Macbook air M1 2020 rose gold version. i had slight problem with the little screws LOL!! they were a challenge but I made it through wit the help of a magnifying glass and my trusty police flashlight otherwise I would have not been able to put those little screws in. Thanks I liked and subscribed to your channel as well !
Did you replace it with the exact rose gold? Would a different color still be compatible? Thank you!
Thank you. Very helpful. Best step by step guide tutorial. Pleasure to watch and worked perfect. Plus saved me big $$$
Thank you for video! Made a huge difference.
For others, use a $20 precision toolkit, not the free tools. Makes a huge difference. Also, keep things organized in bags.
I don't comment ever but bro. You helped me save some money and video was so precise . Keep it it bro 👌🏾
Awesome !! Thank you soo much !! Im pretty good at breaking things, but I thought I.d try my hand at fixing !! With your hekp I did it! Excellent tutorial !!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I live in Brazil and it saved me to spend 500 dollars, spending just 130 to buy the new display! 😊😊😊
Where did you buy the screen?
There's 3 different types of screws holding the back on: 6 shorties, 2 long ones with short threads and 2 long ones with longer threads. Take extra care to note which long ones came from where! The longer threads seem to go in the two center holes on either side of the model number printing.
Thank you so much for these instructions!!!
Thank you so much, I made a bad decision of trying to unbent a corner on my macbook and end it up damaging the screen. Your tutorial gave me confidence and I bought a spare display and fixed myself, it worked like a charm thanks so much for your work
Donde la compraste?
Thanks so much, my son left the mackbook air by the fire and the screen crinkled and warped! Replaced it in 1.5 hours following this, would have been quicker if I watched right to the end as mine would NOT turn back on until I plugged a charger in...you did mention it but I skipped the last bit of the video 🤦♂🤣
Tysm, this helped out heaps. This took me about 5 hours to do, kept getting distracted😂
As long as it is fixed. lol
excellent! I followed step by step this easy procedure without taking picture, relying only on your video to put back all the tiny screws to their respective spot.
Great job, followed your instructions and my computer works like brand new again thanks 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Thank you so much, i read the ifixit howto and got stuck on the part with the adhesive on the wifi antenna cover. Was really paranoid about how tough it was to remove. Your video helped me all the way through it. Thanks again!
I did this yesterday. Thankfully it worked. Screw apples 500 bill
It was very easy to follow! What I'm surprise for is that 20 k visits to this video means that 20k MacBook owners had the need to replace their screen, this doesn't speak well about Apple
Thank you. Very easy to follow your instructions. You are an excellent teacher
Very handy, I'm comfortable with repair but rarely do I work on Apple devices so it was nice to have a video to follow along with.
thanks for the very nice video, very easy to follow, and made it a simple job after I damaged my screen with exposure to dew at night while using my telescope. good as new again!
If you are very careful and organized you can do this. I saved about $300. Screw Apple 🍎.
Don't even try it unless you know what the hell you're doing. It's VERY EASY to screw up and ruin your own laptop, and then you'll be wishing you brought it to Apple.
@@nikonlover1yea i know. i brouhht a new chrombook instead of this shit.screw apple.
@@nikonlover114 years old no experience did this shit in an hour lmao
@@ParkerXChen
I don't care how old you are, or how fast you did it. If it went the other way, and it very well could have, you could be just as easily confirming I'm right instead of sitting there sanctimoniously gloating about something stupid you did and happened to get lucky about doing it. And just because you did get lucky and things happened to go your way, doesn't mean you still weren't taking a risk or acting stupidly for attempting to do it in the first place.
Regardless, there are qualified people who actually earn a living doing this work, who also paid for professional training, and people like this guy who ignorantly post these videos for all to see and without forethought of that fact, and all just so he can play internet star and be Mr. Helpy Helperton, is in reality doing more harm than good by detrimentally affecting an entire industry. It's morons just like this guy here on TH-cam who ruin the ability of others to earn a living, and frankly that just pisses me off.
lmao what are you yapping about @@nikonlover1 how do you feel after spending 20 minutes typing a comment that contributes nothing lmao
Thanks Simon!
Your video was clear, to the point and of great quality.
Perfect ! Apple wanted £429 to fix mine, did it myself and saves $$$ Works perfectly - Thanks!
Like new! Thanks so much! The replacement screen I bought had a link to a video which was worthless in comparison to yours.
Straight forward video, good step by step instruction and no unnecessary fluff, helped save me a bunch of money, thanks!
thank you thank you thank you for this amazing video, I suffered a lot since I never touch a laptop before besides to type on it. I was feeling like I was destroying my laptop, but yes, everything worked perfect. Thank you!!!!
I followed your steps to complete my screen replacement thanks
This is how tutorials should be done! Very helpful, thanks for putting this together.

Just would like to say thank you. You just saved me a fortune on a new MacBook. Very clear instructions.
I replaced my screen and it was successful due to your awesome video. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
I had only one problem the replacement screen wouldn’t close all the way. Had to take the screen back off and wiggle the hinges around a little bit they were very stiff. I added a little bit of lubricant on them and it helped as well.
Super good video, thank you so much, just changed my screen following your video. Briliant my friend brilliant... thank you thousans

Thank you so much for making this video. It worked perfectly and saved me hundreds of dollars
