The MacBook Air (M2) came out in 2022, with a 13.6 inch Liquid Retina LCD display and the M2 chip. It carries MagSafe 3, two Thunderbolt and headphone and it unlocks with Touch ID in the power button. There is an aluminium frame. The first Air with a flat body rather than a wedge, a notch in the screen and the return of MagSafe. A2681 is the model sold here.

What this fixes
The faults a free diagnostic puts right.
- Several things wrong at onceOften one cause with several symptoms, which is exactly what a diagnostic is for.
- It comes and goesThe hardest kind to quote blind, and the one most likely to get the wrong part fitted.
- It got worse after a repair somewhere elseWorth looking at properly rather than repeating the same repair.
- You do not know what is wrongPerfectly normal. Describing what it does is more useful to us than naming a repair.
- Somebody else has already tried to fix itWorth starting from scratch. A device opened in a hurry often has more wrong with it than it arrived with.
- You want to know whether it is worth repairing at allA fair question and a common one. We will tell you when the answer is no.
Before you spend anything
Is it definitely a hardware fault?
A diagnostic is not a repair, it is the step that stops you paying for the wrong one.
IfIt went in water at any point
Book the liquid damage assessment instead. It is a different process and looks for different things.
IfIt is a work phone and downtime matters
Tell us when you book. We look at those first and tell you early if it is going to take longer than a day.
IfYou already know exactly what is wrong
Then book the repair rather than the diagnostic. There is no reason to pay for a step you do not need, and the repair price already includes the checking.
IfIt is under manufacturer warranty
Go to them first and we will tell you so. A defect inside warranty should not cost you anything anywhere.
IfIt has been in water
That is a liquid damage assessment rather than a standard diagnostic, and it is a different piece of work.
If you are not sure which of these you have, that is what the free diagnostic is for. It costs nothing and it is the step that stops people paying for the wrong repair.
What parts do we fit?
Where Apple supplies a service part for this component, that is what goes in. Where it does not, we fit premium aftermarket and say so. Which of the two you are getting is settled before you agree to anything, and the 360-day warranty does not change between them.
Nobody here will call a part original when it is not. If what fits your laptop is premium aftermarket, you hear that word at the counter rather than reading it on a docket afterwards.
What the Free diagnostic includes
- A full inspection on the bench, free
- A written answer on what has failed
- A price before any work happens
- No fee if we cannot fix it
No additional paid work happens without your approval. If the diagnostic finds something behind the part we are replacing, we stop, explain it and confirm the cost first.
Dublin collection and return is available on weekdays if you cannot make it in. Nothing about the price or the cover changes because the courier brought it.
How we do it
From the counter to back in your hand.
Free diagnostic
Before a part is ordered we establish what has really gone wrong. It is free, and it is the reason people do not leave here having paid for the wrong thing.
You approve the price
The price is confirmed to you before anything begins, and it does not move afterwards unless you agree to something else.
The repair is carried out
Carried out here in Drumcondra rather than sent away, by people who do this repair daily.
Bench testing
Nothing is handed back untested. The repaired part and its neighbours are all checked first.
Back in your hands
Pick it up from Richmond Road or have it couriered back across Dublin. Either way it carries the 360-day warranty.
Before it goes back
What we test every time.
A repair is not finished when the part is fitted. It is finished when the things around it have been checked.
Power, charge and battery health
The three things that explain most faults before anything is opened.
Display, touch and every sensor
End to end, because a fault in one often points at something else entirely.
Cameras, speakers and microphones
All of them, so nothing turns up as a surprise a week later.
Ports and buttons
Including the ones you did not mention, since damage rarely lands in only one place.
Is anything on the device at risk?
We are replacing a part, not reading a phone. Your photos, messages and accounts are not something this job touches.
The one place it comes up is testing. A repair is not finished until it has been used, and using a locked device means a passcode. You are welcome to withhold it, and we will tell you which checks that leaves undone rather than quietly skipping them. A passcode you do give us lives on a paper docket that gets shredded, never in a database.
Back it up first if you can. A device that has taken a knock has had its storage shaken whether or not anything looks wrong, and a backup is free insurance against the day that matters.
Will it still survive a splash?
Treat the device as no longer water resistant after any repair, including this one.
An IP rating is measured on a brand new, factory sealed device in a laboratory. It is a description of how that device left the factory, not a property it keeps. Heat, age and everyday knocks degrade the seal long before anybody opens it, which is why phones that have never been repaired still let water in.
Opening a device means cutting through adhesive. We refit with fresh adhesive, which gives you back a physical seal that keeps rain and splashes out. What we will not do is claim the original rating is restored, because there is no way for us or for any independent shop in Ireland to test that.
If the device lives near water, tell us when you book. It changes what we recommend and it is a two minute conversation rather than a surprise afterwards.
The 360-day warranty
Every completed repair is covered for 360 days on the part and the workmanship. If the display we fitted fails, or the fitting was at fault, we put it right at no charge.
What it does not cover is a new accident. A phone dropped again after the repair, fresh physical damage, liquid damage, or a fault in a part we did not touch, all sit outside it. That is the same limit any honest repair warranty has.
No fix, no fee. The diagnostic is free, and if the repair does not happen you pay nothing.
Three ways to get it to us
- Walk in to Drumcondra4 Richmond Road, Dublin 3. No appointment. Mon to Sat 10:00 to 18:00, closed Sunday. Most phone screens and batteries done in 15 to 45 minutes while you wait.
- We collect and returnDoor to door across Dublin, Monday to Friday, usually 2 to 4 working days. The repair takes the same time; the courier is the difference.
- Send it in yourselfPost it to the shop with a tracked, insured service and a note with your number. We cannot cover a parcel in transit, and that is the honest trade-off for the route existing.
Same repair price and the same 360-day warranty on all three. The only thing that changes is how the device travels.

MacBook Air (M2) screen questions.
We quote it after a free diagnostic, because the price depends on what we find. No fix, no fee, so if we cannot repair it you pay nothing.
Usually while you wait. If the diagnostic turns up something else, or a part has to be ordered, we tell you before you commit rather than after.
Then you pay nothing and take the phone away knowing what is wrong with it. That is a legitimate outcome and it happens often.
No. It is free, it is honest, and there is no fee if we cannot fix the device.
Usually the same day. Where a fault only shows itself under load we sometimes need to leave the device running, and we tell you that at the counter.
Only with your say-so. You get the cause, the price and the option to say no before any paid work starts.
Then that is what we tell you, and you pay nothing. We would rather lose a repair than sell one that does not make sense.
