The replacement key arrive quickly and was a perfect fit. I' ll definitely purchase from here when I need keys for a laptop in the future. Perfect fit, and look just like the original keys. Thank you for the info.As the title says: perfect. A good cleaning and reattaching would make it work again but that is beyond my desire. Of course I had to take the keyboard apart and found that the liquid spill had worked its way in between the two layers of the printed circuit. I'm wondering if a hot melt plastic (same process as hot melt glue just with plastic resin) would work for attaching the new keyboard instead of contact cement? I'm going to try a plastic glue I use at work to reattach the backing plate to the top case but first I will make a template keyboard spacer so that I can apply even pressure instead of spot clamping. They quickly melted and the keyboard lifted right out of place with minimum effort leaving the entire post behind. On removing the backing plate I was able to do so without using heat.Īs for the white glue on the posts instead of scraping them off I used a soldering iron with a medium tip. Glad I came across this as I am playing with a dead keyboard now. Good luck and sorry for the lengthy instructions. You have to mount the speaker, attach three antenna cables, mount logic board, screen mout brackets, super drive, cpu fan, the battery, etc. Clamp the black plate to the case at different points to ensure tight fitting and good contact between the contact cement layers. make sure the you dont burry any of the cables underneath the plate.ĥ. Gently put the back plate in put the screws back. no clamp needed Make sure the power button is inserted properly then put the power swtich on top and press it to ensure proper and tight fitting.Ĥ. Then right before you are ready to mount the plate, apply a fresh strand of contact cement along the same track left from the old glue on both the plate and the top case. Make sure you clean up the residue glue by scrapping. You can use contact cement to attach the black plate to the top case.
I used contact cement to attach the replacement keyboard at 105 points to the top part of the case.Ģ. you do not blue it properly, you will have problems galore wiith fittings and the bottom cover may become lose.ġ. furthermore, the bottom laptop cover is screwed to it. The black plate is a platform where most of the laptop's parts are mounted, including other mouting brackets. But I am confident i will finish the job. Otherwise it will be uneven and may cause me problem. I will have to buy liquid plastic to use them as mouldings to hold the keyboard firm in the top frame. Mke sure all the 105 posts go through the holes of the keyboard frame. When the keyboard is completely out, clean up the posts of glued mouldings. dont lose the the Power Button Cover because you will need to use it again. When you are finished, they board will come out. Eventually, you will have enough finger grip on the keyboard, which will allow you to simply pull it. Then do the same to the next moulding and pry the keyboard. Be gentle and do not scratch off the posts because you will need to reeuse them. Start at the edge and simply use a sharp tiny flathead screwdriver, or an exacto knife to scratch the moulding. The white glue mouldings look like caps covering the top of the posts and are about 3 mm in diameter. Now, the keyboard is also glued with tiny white plastic glue to posts. It is better to start on So, once you remove the black plate, you are left with a keyboard. simply test the heated are with your hand.
make do not apply heat gun for more than 10 seconds on one part. i also used a heat gun gently in areas where there are no wires, or clectronic parts.
MACBOOK REPLACEMENT KEYBOARD BLACK DRIVERS
Use a second flat screw drivers to pry more.
MACBOOK REPLACEMENT KEYBOARD BLACK DRIVER
You can sneak your flathead screw driver through the open ports to pry a small section then leave it there anchored. Then carefully pry the black plate along the edges. Start on the RHS, where the USB and ethernet ports are located. HAVE PLENTY OF PATIENCE AND OBSERVE AS YOU WORK. there are 7 screws you have to remove, and the touchpad will drop off underneath. And the keyboard is held to the upper case by plastic mouldings and not screws like Apple used to do it in the older non-unibody Macbook 13 whites.īefore you attempt removing the black plate, remove the touchpad. So, the gluing was thorough and not along certain points as I suspected. As I suspected, the black plate was glued along the perimeter all the way. I finally removed the framed rectangular black plate and the keyboard.
