MacBook Air 13" M5 (2026) Top Case Replacement

MacBook Air 13" M5 (2026) Top Case Replacement Description
The top case is the aluminum deck around the keyboard and trackpad. If yours is dented, bent at a corner or damaged in a drop, we replace it with a quality replacement top case in your Mac's color (Silver, Starlight, Sky Blue or Midnight), with a US keyboard already installed, and move your logic board, battery, speakers and Touch ID button over to it. If only the keyboard is the problem, a keyboard replacement costs less, and we'll tell you which one your Mac needs.

Symptoms this repair should fix:

• Dented or bent palm rest
• Bent corner or edge after a drop
• Keyboard deck no longer sits flat
• Keyboard and deck both damaged
