MacBook Keyboard Replacement

To replace the keyboard, we have to remove anything before we can access the keyboard. This is a time-consuming task. If you want to replace the keyboard yourself, special attention is needed to remove the dedicated logic board and MacBook screen. From time to time, we receive physical-damaged logic board repair work from DIY customers. Most of the physical-damaged boards are due to resistors, capacitors or connectors being knocked off, resulting in no power or not working properly.

When you bring your MacBook to our store, our staff will power up your MacBook with our external test drive. With our own error-free software up and running, we can eliminate any software issues that could cause the MacBook keyboard not to work. When the keyboard hardware issue is confirmed, the MacBook will be passed to our skilled technicians to perform the keyboard replacement task outlined below.

• Open the back case and disconnect the battery connector to prevent short-circuit to the logic board.
• Remove all screws and connectors, and remove the logic board from the case.
• Remove the screen assembly from the case.
• Remove the I/O board if there is any.
• Remove cooling fans, and speakers.
• Remove the battery from the case.
• Remove touchpad and cable.
• Secure the top case on the table. Hold the edge of the keyboard and pull hard from the inside to break the rivets. Apple uses rivets to join the keyboard to the top case instead of screws. This is the reason we need to remove the screen assembly before removing the keyboard.
• Use a special tool to remove all the remaining rivets on the top case.
• Clean the top case and put on a new keyboard. Fasten the keyboard to the case with tiny screws.
• Assemble back all the components in the reverse order.
• Power up the MacBook, test EVERY key and make sure they are all functional and well responsive.
