    I accidentally popped out my left key and this tutorial helped me put it back in and saved me $$$ from costly repairs, thanks!

    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!

    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.

  • @LuZ-rd5yl

    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🤗

  • @dgpsf
    @dgpsf Před 2 měsíci

    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!
