as i was opening my laptop(first gen air) the other day, it kept opening all the way until the apple logo pretty much made contact with my desk. i was looking into it and came to the conclusion that its the hinges. so i was wondering how or where i can get this fixed? or if its covered by the manufacturer.
MacBook Air, iOS 6.0.1
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Take your Mac to an Apple Store. If it's under warranty, the repair will be free of charge
@ hector90:
I had the exact same thing happen to me last night to my macbook air (1st gen). It started with a crack in the hinge. Very frustrating. Even though the Macbook air 1st gens are out of warranty there is a hinge replacement program. Were you able to have apple replace your hinge free of charge in late 2012? The program is a little old & does not appear on the support page on apple's website. Just wondering if I should look into it further. I really hope they did the repair for you....would give me some hope. It seems like it would be such a shame to leave us in the dust, especially since the computers have been well taken care of up to this point.
Thanks in advance!
my 13 inch macbook air opens at about 160 degrees. what do i do?
