Watch How We Remove a MacBook Air 2022 Bezel Like Pros! ๐Ÿ’ป

Ever wondered why your MacBook Display repairs cost so much even when its only a cracked bezel? Here's why:

- As of May 2024, Apple doesnโ€™t offer bezel replacements for their computers. Instead, they replace the entire display assembly, making repairs more expensive by using additional components.

By choosing our expert service, you save money and minimise unnecessary component usage.

This MacBook Pro suffers from liquid damage๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ’ป, upon closer inspection corrosion can be found internally. The only real solution we suggest is backing up your data ASAP (if possible) and using another device instead. Reason being, liquid damage is unpredictable and may take days to even weeks for symptoms to occur. In most cases, repairing a device with liquid damage ends up being more expensive than purchasing a brand new retail unit (lab data recovery fees).
