Many of these chips are for power management. We found a Broadcom BCM touch screen controller chip on the interconnect board. Apple made no compromises on the Air's display. Amazingly, the entire display assembly weighs only g slightly more than a pound , 34 percent less than the functionally-equivalent display assembly on the MacBook.
Unfortunately, getting into the display assembly isn't as easy as cracking open the lower case. There are no screws holding the front bezel to the display, only very, very sticky double-sided tape. We bent the bezel a bit getting it off. Things aren't as bad as they were with the Titanium, but it's no cakewalk. The LED display. The actual panel is less than 3mm thick. Thanks to the LED display technology, there is no inverter board.
A single cable provides the data and power to the display. Apple obviously expects everyone to be using wireless on the Air, so a substantial engineering effort went into designing robust antennas. We're left with 88 screws and lots of parts. It's hard to believe everything here weighs in at only three pounds. If you have any additional information about components in the MacBook Air, or interesting information about its construction, please drop us a note.
We're happy to post additional information. CHU - Nov 10, Reply. I have torn down my MacBook Air 13" all the way down to the hinges. Both left and right hinges seem to be connected in some fashion to the broken parts and I'm stuck without knowing a trick or tip on how to pull off the broken ones and add the new ones.

We spliced together two photos, so this image shows the front and back of the PCB. We also found eight of Anaren's 1mm square baluns interfaced between the Broadcom and Skyworks chips, presumably running at 2. The heat sink is made of very thin aluminum and looks totally different from anything we've seen in a Mac before. The L-shaped aluminum bracket on the heat sink rests tightly against the lower case, providing thermal conductivity without making an electrical connection to the chassis.
The inside of the lower case has a patch of non-conducting material to aid this thermal dissipation. We found Intel's new Core 2 Duo chip right beneath the heat sink no surprises there. A temperature sensor sits on an external board glued between the CPU and graphics chips.
