Broken MacBook Air?
We'll buy it.
Apple quotes $0 for any MacBook Air with physical damage. We quote from parts value — M1 and M2 logic boards, Retina displays, and batteries all have a real secondary market. Bring it in and walk out with credit toward a working Mac the same day.
What condition is it in?
Be honest — we pay for broken ones too.

We buy MacBook Airs in all conditions
Dead / won't turn on
A MacBook Air that won't power on often has a healthy logic board, battery, and display. We quote based on what's recoverable, not the symptom.
Cracked screen
The display on a MacBook Air is a significant portion of its value. Cracked screen + working logic board still earns $140–$260 depending on the model, because the board is intact.
Liquid damage
Coffee, water, and soda damage varies widely. Some liquid-damaged Airs boot right up after drying; others have partial failures. We quote on-bench after testing recoverable components.
Broken keyboard or trackpad
Input issues don't kill the logic board or display. A MacBook Air with a failed keyboard but working screen and board still has real trade-in value.
Frequently asked questions
Do you buy broken MacBook Airs?
Yes — all models from MacBook Air 11" and 13" Intel through M1, M2, M3, and M3 Ultra. We buy them with cracked screens, dead logic boards, liquid damage, failed keyboards, bad batteries, and any other issue. The condition determines the credit — not our willingness to buy.
How much is a broken MacBook Air worth?
It depends on the model and what's wrong. A dead M2 Air earns $60–$120. A cracked-screen M2 Air earns $140–$220. A cracked M3 Air earns $160–$260. Intel-era Airs with damage earn $20–$45. Call (740) 223-5530 for a quote on your specific model and condition.
Will Apple buy my broken MacBook Air?
Apple's trade-in program gives $0 for any Mac with physical damage, liquid damage, or a cracked screen. Their repair cost for a broken MacBook Air display starts at $299. We buy what Apple turns away and pay from the parts value we can recover.
My MacBook Air has a cracked screen but boots fine — is it worth more?
Yes. A MacBook Air that still boots with a cracked display means the logic board and battery are healthy. The crack only affects the display, which has a standalone parts value. Cracked-screen Airs earn more than dead ones for this reason.
Is a liquid-damaged MacBook Air worth anything?
Usually yes. Liquid damage is a spectrum: some Airs survive completely, some have minor corrosion that still leaves the board and display working. We test on the bench and quote from what's actually functional. Bring it in — even a worst-case outcome earns something for components.
Can I trade a broken MacBook Air toward a refurbished one?
That's our most common transaction. You bring in a damaged Air, we quote it on the bench, and you apply the credit toward any Mac in our inventory — same day. Many customers upgrade from a broken M1 Air to a working M2 Air by paying the difference plus their trade-in credit.
Do I need to erase my data before bringing it in?
If the machine boots, erase it yourself in Settings > General > Transfer or Reset > Erase All Content. If it won't boot, don't worry — we perform a secure wipe on every machine at the bench. No customer data leaves our shop.
