Can I change the flex cable... the display cable in a macbook air? Or I have to change all the display? thank

You can change it, but you have to buy the cable with the hinge and change both because it goes together.

Alvaro B.B. -

One of the antenna cables got stuck in one of the loops, so I pulled it and the antenna connector got off. Now I can’t connect to the Internet. And there is no easy or cheap fix for this problem. So, people, be careful. Better to cut open some of the loops around antenna cables than make my mistake.
