With no technical knowledge at all the guy went above and beyond to help me. I am once again up and working armed with my new laptop and it DIDN'T cost a fortune. Many many thanks. Sorry I can...

About the MacBook Air 11″ A1465 (Mid 2012)

The MacBook Air 11" A1465 (Mid 2012) continued the 11.6-inch MacBook Air lineage with model number A1465. Equipped with Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, flash storage, MagSafe 2, and USB 3.0, this generation of Air was the definition of a reliable everyday laptop. We repair every component at our Perth Road workshop in Dundee.

Battery degradation is the number one reason these come in for repair, followed by flash storage failure, trackpad clicking issues, and display problems. The keyboard and trackpad are generally reliable on this generation. Our technicians have over 20 years' combined experience and see these A1465/A1466 models regularly.

The 11.6-inch Air from this era is a proper reliable wee machine. Battery swap and it's good as new. Drap it in to Perth Road, we'll have it sorted in no time.

The A1465 (11-inch) and A1466 (13-inch) models were refreshed yearly from 2012 to 2017. Each revision brought incremental processor and graphics improvements. All share the same internal hardware and accept identical replacement parts.
