What we fix most on the A2179

We've repaired the A2179 at our workshops. Bars show the share of each fault; one job can involve more than one, so they overlap.

Unlike the M1 Air that replaced it, this model has a fan — a loud or constantly spinning fan here is worth checking along with the battery.
