My Problem
Spill of Chicken Soup on Keyboard. Chicken Soup is great for the soul not so much for macbooks.
My Fix
Took 2 hours. Great online guide and video. First time to delve this deep into a notebook computer.
My Advice
I think keeping screws organized helps. I numbered bins on an ice tray and then wrote numbers on the printed instructions to identify screws. There are some subtle differences. You will need the spudger and the tri-wing. Used post-it notes to hold trackpad in alignment while tightening.
My Problem
Keyboard - due to a spill. Hard drive - due to wear and tear plus wanted more space
My Fix
Guides were great and easy to follow and very helpful
My Advice
One thing the guide didn't mention is remember to take the shock mounts and metal nubs from your old hd and use on your new hd.

My Problem
My son spilled milk on his MacBook keyboard. Nuff said... :(
My Fix
The replacement part was perfect. The online guide with photos and the instructional video were amazingly helpful. The keyboard is replaced and the MacBook is working perfectly!!! Thanks!!
My Advice
You can do it!! Look at the instructional videos of the repair you might want to attempt. It really is as easy as it looks. I would however recommend that you purchase the special tools they suggest. These are not that expensive and they were essential to my repair. Very pleased with my purchase and experience.
My Problem
We were having to use a USB keyboard plugged into a laptop and it was ridiculous
My Fix
It was relatively easy with the assistance of the guide.
My Advice
Definitely acquire the correct recommended tools for the job - especially the tri-wing y0 screwdriver needed to remove the battery. There is not another tool in the world that will do that task!
