Title
MacBook Air 15" 2023 Touch ID Sensor Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to replace the Touch ID sensor in your MacBook Air 15" 2023.
You may need to replace the Touch ID sensor if it's unresponsive, inconsistent, or physically damaged.
***To maintain Touch ID functionality, you must also replace your logic board with a new one that's paired to the replacement Touch ID sensor.*** The MacBook Air's original Touch ID sensor is uniquely paired to the logic board at the factory—and without Apple’s proprietary calibration process, even a genuine replacement logic board from another MacBook Pro won’t work.
