Repair & restoration of a scratched Apple keyboard - How to resurface Plastic
This video will show you how to make your yellowed keyboard look almost new again.
Coat the plastic in hydrogen peroxide to fix discoloration. Hydrogen peroxide works well on plastics that have turned entirely yellow instead of in just one spot. Fill a plastic bag with enough hydrogen peroxide to cover the plastic. Stick the plastic in the bag of hydrogen peroxide and lay it out in direct sunlight. Wait 3-4 hours before rinsing it off with clean water.
You can purchase hydrogen peroxide at a drugstore or big box store.
If you’re treating some sort of plastic mechanism, make sure you remove all the parts that aren’t plastic before putting them into the hydrogen peroxide.
You can also use an old toothbrush to scrub the hydrogen peroxide onto the plastic if desired
Retrobright is a hydrogen peroxide-based process for removing yellowing from ABS plastics

I have this keyboard and one day I spilled soda on it. I thought it’s already ruined anyways so why not try putting it in the dishwasher. I did and it cleaned it like new. I plugged it into the computer. It was dead. BUT after a few days I tried again and it worked. So after that any time it got dirty I’d do the same thing. Dishwasher. Keep it facing down over the sink for a day or two so the water will drain out and then plug it back in. It’s never failed. I’m typing this comment on it now. I’ve done this at least 50 times
엄..... 배터리를 사용하는 키보드에는 적용하지 마세요.
Bro how often are you spilling things on your keyboard?! 50 times?? Surely that’s a joke?
@@EPICLULZ123 no I don’t spill stuff on it that often. I put my keyboard in there every few weeks to keep it clean and fresh feeling. You should see how often I wash my hands lol
First, if I did this, I would NEVER in a million years be able to put this back together! Second, brilliant job! 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰
Yeah no. Nobody listen to this. A keyboard is full of electronic components and you will permanently kill it. The water will fry it plus the amount of heat loosen all the glue on the chips. It will not work. This is almost microwaving your phone level bullshit.
Melamine sponges are the work of HEAVEN! Seriously whoever invented those things needs to be given praise FOREVER! They are lifesaving!!!
Agreed+Me too+yeah
*_Never thought anyone could recover. The most incredible work of the best_*
Thank you for your time. I appreciate it.
That was and still is a great keyboard to type on, good work
Yeah, I agree 👍🏻, It's 2024 already and I still use this keyboard with Windows 11.
I use it with my Studio M1 Ultra and even have an extra on standby. Great keyboard.
There was a whole ecosystem in that keyboard 😅 Very satisfying video
Even the keyboard was asking for help lmao 0:17
@@mori_san8206 🤣
I started working for AppleCare in 2008, and I had one of these keyboards for near 5 years. Never reached this level of grimy, but nostalgic to see one resto’d. 😊
Amazes me that this keyboard's only from 2003. It looks so much older at the start of the video, like something from the '80s. _Wow._
I've taken apart my old MacBook Pro (2008) to replace the keyboard and the trackpad (and to clean it out), but never to this extent. I'm amazed / impressed.
Probably owned by a smoker. 🤮
Eu tinha um desse em 2003 kkkk
looks amazing i never thought a keyboard that dirty could ever recover
This was my absolute all time favourite keyboard. It’s incredibly satisfying and nostalgic to see you clean it up so beautifully. How I would love to have one of these now 😊
A fantastic job. Thanks.
2:01 Seriously!? A condom wrapper! 😂
Exactly right yeah
Strawberry flavored? Maybe they thought it was gum.

He was munching on some salted nuys while baging, wow.

Regardless on if it was dirty before or if he dirtied it himself, the cleaning is all real which is the impressive part

Glad you enjoy it!
Yes! The key installation sequence was mesmerizing.
awesome. you did a great job cleaning. if it were me, instead of cleaning I would go buy a new keyboard right away😄
Apple really was ahead of the keyboard game back in the day I'm surprised this keyboard was made 20 years ago it looks like something made today
I love this Channel
Tack så mycket för videon! 🇸🇪

방문해주셔서 감사합니다
Como de costumbre excelente trabajo, MAESTRO!👏👏👏
¡Me alegra que lo hayas disfrutado!
what the liquid for restore plastic color?
Outstanding.
I really like the video but the Durex disturbed me for a second, how does the packaging get in there
Incredible! Such patience 👏
Great asmr
처음에 원래 그렇게 나온 레트로 키보드인줄알고 와 이쁘다 햇는데 ㅎㅎ
I like this Chanel from today
Ювелирная работа 😮 p.s а я еще думала что моя клавиатура грязная 😅
Great work
Cool!
This keyboard is so amazing to use. Super smooth.
Sooo much satisfaction omg
abi seni çooook takdir ediyorum başta nasıl sonda nasıl ya ayrıca yeni abonen, like atanın ve bildirimleri açanın oldu seni çok sevdim abi(ya da abla =D)
What products do you use to whiten?
Great ❤
WoW quel travail 😮
Merci pour la visite
Nice job!
Thanks for the visit
nothing is better than Model M (or modern replicas)
Fantastic!
I loved this keyboard
My left ear enjoyed this.
real
what do you use to make they keys and board so nice white?
Those were pumpkin seeds. Roasted, I bet. Yummy!!!
Instead of using soap and water to clean the keys, use a jar with vinegar. You can stir in baking soda. Just make sure it doesn't get too out of hand reacting. It will work better, less scrubbing.
How come the keyboard goes into that position in the first place? I have a keyboard from 2012, never washed. Just blow out the dust through the blower. still working great. Hmm, I can do the makeup like that on the keyboard for YT. Pretty smart
It would be great if you could mention how the keyboard becomes like that.
2:00 100% pumpkin seeds 😂
8:46 왼쪽 아래에 벌레가... 이 키보드... 정체가 뭐야?ㄷㄷ
So the principle to whitening plastic is to expose it to ultra violet light? If yes very interesting. Great job, congrats!
In combination with 12% H2O2 gel.
How many of you noticed that this keyboard had 3 'A'
Apples Are Amazing
Me
Me
It's a Swedish keyboard, so the extra A's are actually Å and Ä, the extra O is Ö
I've never seen a keyboard with that many screws 😮
⌨the old Macintosh keyboard 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
It’s been a long time since I’ve used an Apple keyboard. 👍⭐️
The intense AsMr tho😂😂
6:05 forbidden candy...
in all seriousness, there's something about seeing the interior components of these electronics that knocks something inside my brain, like, the last person to see this was a worker in a Malaysian factory 20-odd years ago, i wonder what their life is like, if they're alive, if they're still working in assembly, do they have a family, a partner, a home? i hope they were able to scrape together a somewhat comfortable life.
also those seed things under the keys look to be pumpkin seeds
How does it look like it was buried in mud? If it was buried how did it yellow?
I like how you can see all the scorch marks from when it was artificially yellowed for "restoration"
I much prefer the old fashioned high ‘clacky’ keys. It’s satisfying to work on. Can’t stand the flatter, quiet keys .
I would take a picture of the keyboard before taking the buttons off so as to know where to replace them after cleaning.
An ultrasonic cleaner could help clean gunk out from keys and other small parts much faster than scrubbing every piece by hand. It can get in tiny crevices too!
Je n’avais jamais vu de restauration d’électronique. Je garde toujours mon imac, clavier, pad sous un grand foulard quand je ne m’en sers pas. C’est facile et ça m’évitera d’avoir à retirer toutes les touches pour nettoyer entre elles
Does this keyboard work with windows laptops?
dude loved pistaccios so much he got the damn shells in the numpad
7:40 good soup✨
delicious
Those, on 1:54 are pumkin seeds peels, in Mexico we call them 'pepitas'.
Watch at 2x
2:02 what?
I noticed that the keyboard is Swedish :)
Muy bueno. Yo intenté hacer lo mismo. Arduo trabajo y al final jeje, no me funciono 😂😂
¡Gracias! ¡Estoy seguro de que puedes!
@@resEGsi si. En alguna otra oportunidad. Gracias.
The kindness in these comments is overwhelming. Thank you all!
I like restoration videos, but I have no idea if this is a setup or not. I hope not. But really a part of a durex wrapped in the keyboard.
For those wondering - "hair oxygen creme" is peroxide.
At first glance, I thought it was a custom made wooden keyboard 😂
I wish I had time to do stuff like this.
what was the app that you used in the end pls let us know
With the amount of nicotine staining on the keyboard, it makes me wonder if the original owner is still alive….
問題是新鍵盤不貴🤔
2:00 Durex strawberry?! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
자막이 있네요
고마워요
Wow imagine what all this keyboard must have witnessed 😂
You accidently swapped Z and Y. Otherwise great Vid :D
변색 된 플라스틱은 다시 도색을 하는 게 아닌 이상 회복 되지 않는데 역시 외국 영상이다…
I never seen those diagonal arrows before. What are they? ⌨
