Are the 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 MacBook Air LCD panels the same?

I use LP133WP1-TJAA universally for all years from 2010-2015 with no issues.

Good question, and thanks for the heads up Louis

No, iSight cables are different for 2013+. Buying a bare LCD has not been economical for years now. LP133WP1 is $200+, complete assembles can be found for $250.

I'm just talking about the panels, not the entire assembly, glad to hear their the same

 

[larossmann]

assetgenie in Pennsylvania still sells the LP133WP1-TJAA for $100-$120. I bought most of my stock when it was still $72 from PSI. I have at least 160 left, an excellent investment thus far! Full assembly means there's no profit left. We charge $325 to fix the screen... I could make either $75 or $200. I'd rather make the $200!

duke is correct that each year has a different length wifi cable/different isight cable.

Ok, is it then possible to swap the isight/wifi cable to fit if using a different assembly. The Bezel is fairly easy to take off.

 

[dukefawks]

No camera design is totally different.

Ok, thank you, love the experience level on this forum...

larossmann I found these people selling the LP133WP1-TJAA and was wondering what you think about them.

[larossmann]

I don't know who the f those people are

 

[ytesfay80]

larossmann The part number is the same as the one you use so is there any way to tell whether it's a quality screen other than just trial and error. How do you go about getting high quality screens?

 

[dukefawks]

It's Alibaba, if you ask for the current price they will tell you $200+. You may get pulled panels, you never know what those Chinese will sell you. At this time 13" Air assemblies are just not feasible for repair because of a lack of good LCDs.

 

[turbo]

could you pls give us contact for assetgenie in Pennsylvania , so i can buy some.... i need like 2-3 of them ... or would you sale from ur stock ?

 

[XooP]

One more question here, I have a cracked but functional 13" 2011 monitor, can I use this when testing display output across all models or do I need to change the LVDS cable between +-2013 boards?

 

[dukefawks]

You have an A1369 assembly. The pinout of A1466 is slightly different, look at the diagrams.

Ok, thank you
