My Problem

Didn't have sound which was more of a problem than I thought

My Fix

Super simple install and everything is working perfectly for weeks now!

My Advice

Very easy install!

My Problem

the sound stopped working and the computer showed no audio card,

My Fix

replacing the audio cable was very simple with the step by step illustrated instructions , the whole process took less then 30 minutes

My Advice

was hard to find a spooge in the local metropolitan area i live in (detroit), i used a plastic knife instead. wish i would have ordered the spooge when i got the audio cable , also the cable arrived ahead of the scheduled date

My Problem

No sound from 1st gen Air.

My Fix

After the Sauna and "few" Sauna-beers quite smooth, I have already changed SSD to air, so no first timer opening that thing.

And holy higher force, did hear a ching after the repair, awesome.

I have a habit of playing Queen - Breakthru when succeeding in something awesome.

Thanks iFixit, olette loistavia!

My Advice

I always set the screws same way as they are laid out in the device.

My Problem

broken sound, and extremely slow, suggesting disk errors, short battery life

My Fix

Replaced the audio card and cable, battery, and the HD (with a SSD from a different vendor, because you don't carry a drop-in SSD replacement). It came up working fine, installed Ubuntu 12.10, works great.

My Advice

Be slow and methodical and you won't have to take the case off to install the new sound card you forgot to put in.

My Problem

I had no sound coming from speakers or the audio jack

My Fix

The repair went seamlessly. The online guide was perfect

My Advice

This is a very easy install

My Problem

My Macbook Air had no sound, and the sound icon was grayed out in the menu bar. After reading about a number of similar experiences I ordered the replacement audio cable from iFixit.

My Fix

The online guide made the installation a snap. About 35 minutes from start to finish, and the chime sounded when I powered up. It was great feeling.

My Advice

1. A good set of screw drivers is s a must for this type of job. I used the Pittsburgh - Item #93916, along with a spudger.

2. I used a simple piece of paper with circles for the screws as I removed them (see picture).

3. Use the slide show feature so it fills the screen for easy viewing.

My Problem

Bought a used MBAir 1st gen. Experienced no audio via onboard speaker nor through headphones. After reading several online comments about this issue, I ordered a new audio cable from iFixit (Product code: IF188-014-1

Apple Part #: 922-8380).

My Fix

Super easy repair thanks to iFixit online guide. MBAir is now fully functional.

My Advice

Recommend that you use screw drivers specific to the hardware specs Apple uses. Definitely risk stripping the screws if you "make due" with wrong sized tools.

My Problem

I did fix to do it fast and challenge myself. It worked fine! The purchase process and the fixing process went smothly and the BEST part was when my Macbook Air started to "talk" again!! :)

My Fix

Simply the best instructions! It tells you what to do step by step!

My Advice

Challenge yourself, it is worth the time!

My Problem

No audio on MacBook air. Video wouldn't play either.

My Fix

Everything went smooth. Followed instructions, all went well. However, after restarting and plugging in the charger, the MacBook air no longer charges. I'm guessing something with the battery was damaged. I can't imagine what happen. I was extra careful and everything went smooth. I'm stumped.

My Advice

I would make sure the computer is powered down before starting.
