13 Inch MacBook Air With Blue and Green Hue
This MacBook Air took a small hit on the bottom left of the screen. That caused the display to no longer display the correct data but rather just display a blue and green hue. Replacing the LCD fully restored functionality.

Oftentimes when a display is damaged you will still be able to see and use part of the screen. But in some cases, the screen is damaged in a way where it becomes completely unusable. In cases like the one above, the issue is just the LCD panel and a replacement will get the computer running properly again. If you need to use your computer while the display is not working, there is a mothod to using a secondary display that works quite well.Using a secondary Display
The first step is to gather a couple of items you will need to connect your MacBook Air to the secondary display.- You will need a secondary display with VGA, DVI, or HDMI inputs. If you have a even slightly modern TV, it will likely have HDMI inputs.
- An adapter to go from your mini display port to the port on your monitor. If you are going to use your TV with an HDMI port, here is an example of an adapter that would work for the MacBook Air's.
- A cable to connect to your adapter then to your monitor. If you are using your TV, you could disconnect something that is plugged in currently using HDMI (like a blu-ray player), and connect your MacBook Air.
- Once it is connected, you will see a secondary screen on your monitor where you can work. If you want to go a step further and have the secondary display be your primary display, just connect a keyboard and mouse to your computer, be sure it is connected to power, then close the lid of the machine. This will force it to use the external monitor as your main monitor.
