However, if youРІР‚в„ўre OK with taking things apart, tinkering with small parts and putting everything back together, and if youРІР‚в„ўre keen to try the following procedure out on your own, you can give this one a try. If you are not DIY-savvy, I would recommend that the repair and keyboard replacement be carried out by an authorised Apple service centre. NOTE: I have to warn you at this stage that the difficulty of this project is 4.5/5.0 and if youРІР‚в„ўre not into tinkering with electronics and microcomponents, this project is probably not going to be fun for you. Draw on small pieces of paper the order and location of the screws by size with respect to the hardware. Side Note and Caution Keep the screws of various size and type into a tackle box, separated into compartments based on the hardware component they hold and secure. So I thought this could be an interesting weekend afternoon project, and this is what we are going to explore in this article today. Seems there was no shortcut for this other than a complete replacement of the keyboard.

This created problems during startup РІР‚вЂњ every startup was as if with the Shift key depressed, booting the computer into safe mode! While a key remap could solve this in the short run, it was not the ideal solution. On my MacBook Pro, one of the Shift key remained constantly depressed or activated, even when the key was not physically depressed. I could only suspect that it was due to the screen-wipe aerosol which I had used, and some droplets could have found their way through the chassis via the keyboard openings.

And in case youРІР‚в„ўre wondering, no I did not spill water on it. Having said all that, my MacBook Pro recently failed on me, supposedly due to a moisture problem.
