Can you replace an individual membrane under a MacBook keyboard?

Hi everybody!

I was in the process of cleaning each invididual key on my MacBook, and I accidentally ripped part of the “A”-button’s membrane underneath the key. Is there a simple way to replace this, or is it way to complicated to even begin with?

The button works fine, but provides less feedback when pushing it, compared to the others.

Is this a good question?

Sadly you can’t replace it, you might be able to glue it but this won’t be easy and will require a steady hand.

Replacing the uppercase I think is your better direction than trying to replace the keyboard sub assembly.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your answer!

So basically, if I were to try the glue solution you provided, would a silicon glue be the right product to use? Or is there an even more specific type of glue, that would be preferred?

Sorry, I've not needed to glue it, I just don't know.
