My Problem

I got a laptop from work, so I left my personal MacBookPro at home for my wife to use. To keep the story short, the "spilled liquid incident" has been kept secret for a few days. By the time I was told about it, it was too late. The letters N H Y 6 were no longer responding.

I have taken the laptop apart as per the site's instructions and tried to clean it, but it was just too late. I had no other choice but to order a another keyboard.

My Fix

The repair went smooth. Since I already took my laptop apart a couple of times, I was done replacing the keyboard in 10 minutes. It was a delight being able to fully use the keyboard again.

My Advice

If it is your first time doing this, do not rush. And of course, make sure you keep all the screws safe :)

My Problem

Spilled coffee on my macbook pro keyboard. Performed the recommended procedure of unplugging, taking battery out, and letting it dry out for 48 hours. Computer turned on and worked, but keyboard did not work correctly. The keys in the direct path of the spill did not work, even after popping them off and cleaning thoroughly. So I ordered a keyboard from ifixit, and hoped I'd be able to swap the old for the new on my own.

My Fix

Repair went perfectly. It took about 30 minutes. (half of that time was spent unscrewing and screwing the screws.) I was nervous about opening up the chassis but the ifixit guide helped me through the entire process. I got a little lost once, but that was because I had skipped a step in the guide. The new (refurbished) keyboard works!

My Advice

Replacing the keyboard on your macbook pro is completely do-able. Just make sure you have an uncluttered workspace, and a way to keep track of all the different screws. And don't rush. Take your time and you'll be done before you know it.
