    thank you so much, you've saved me a few hundred quid at the apple store after trying to clean under a key and the mechanism snapped and they'd only replace the whole keyboard...

    Thank you so much for your detailed tutorial, if you can believe it I was sitting at my desk this morning and heard a crunching sound, turned around, and saw the cat munching on the up arrow key, I yelled pices went flying. Crawled around on the floor and amazingly found all three pieces. All back together and working fine. Thank you sir!

    Thank you so much! I was about to try to just push the new keycap on, but I'm so glad I watched your video first and found out about the hooks and clasps, or I would have just broken the new key or the clip or both!

    Hello, thank you for your videos and help. I wanted to reach out to see if you sold the rubber cups for the keyboards as well? I currently have an issue with two of them and it is not worth it to me to replace the entire top case for such a simple issue. Apple quoted me at $800 for this repair and it is not worth it to me.

    I accidentally popped my left key and it open from wrong side so I tried to fix it by pressing it and it won’t work then I showed to one MacBook repair store, he suggested me to replace all keyboard and the amount is to big which I can’t afford. After watching this video I successfully fix the key and It works. Thanks a lot to upload such helpful video🤗

    Thank you very much, I finally fixed my up arrow on magic keyboard after using it for couple months without that button. My situation was a bit complicated as I had the 2 plastic pieces disassembled when I was trying to fix it so I had to try different combinations to put them together first. Also the part on the key where we fit the internal plastic by sliding, was deformed and I was thinking it was hopeless to fix this. But using needle I bended a bit deformed parts and was able to put the key back. Would be useful if there is a part of assembling 2 internal plastic things together. I have photos of mine if anyone needs it.

  • @dgpsf
    @dgpsf Місяць тому

    Note: If you have trouble at about 2:10, check the bottom of your keycap and see if you may have, like my dumb ass did, smooshed the tiny nubs of plastic that you're meant to slip the scissor plastic thing under on the left side of the keycap. I had smooshed them flat trying to jam the key back on before finding this video. I was able to stick a blade under each of them and gingerly pry them up enough to fix my keycap.
    What a terrible keyboard to repair this thing is! Good video though!
