Great video. you convinced me not to try and do it myself.

I see my decision to buy a $30 Bluetooth keyboard as a "replacement" was a good decision. Great video

Unbelievable that it is legal to design a computer this way.

so you are saying i should just buy a new computer if there's a problem with my keyboard. Got it

I almost tryed to do it myself. Thanks for convince me not to

WTF??? why it have to be so complex to change a simple keyboard??? I bought an expensive MacBook Pro 13 in 2017 and one and half year later my keyboard looks like a sponge... No way I am going to pay for fixing this project problem. I miss my old T430 Thinkpad!!!!!!! 4 screws , one connector and the new keyboard was installed....

Hi, thanks for this video! question... at what time mark in the video do you remove a) the keyboard ribbon cable, b) the trackpad ribbon cable and c) the touchpad ribbon cable?

The soundtrack sounds like an elite four battle pokemon theme.

Bro, do you think its possible to skip the grinding process, as just rips up the rivets on the old keyboard, like in the Macbook Air 2014?

*Thank you* 👍👍👍👍

Hi! Doing this repair now, but was blocked when removing the keyboard screws, What screwdriver are you using to remove the keyboard screws? I tried with torx t2 and pentalobe p2, but to no avail :-/

I want to attempt this repair myself for fun if you have a list of tools you used for this it would be really helpful

Thank you @FIXStudio been looking for something like this for so long, would you please let me know what tools did you use, especially for disassembling the keyboard at the end. I am anxious to get this done soon xD Note: ill replace both battery and keyboard.

link for the tools to open the back cover????

What an odyssey just to repalce the f***ing keyboard !! This manufacturing practice should be illegal :( #righttorepair

good video but for all the people who wants to repair! dont BEND the AKKU like the guy in the Video. use a little bitte isopropanol 99% Alcohol and the battery will open smoothly

Such great synth music on this ! can we get a playlist

Which Torx screwdriver did you use to remove the keyboard? I've tried T1-T4 and none of them fit correctly. Thank you

Battey failed and not detected after keyboard replacment! Any idea?

Use a little alcohol for the battery adhesive so you dont bend the battery ;)

Apple marketing department does an excellent job hiding the fact that MacBook Pros are all but ecological because repairing them is almost impossible for a normal person. Keyboard issues in the A1706 series are a nightmare.

After watching this I think I might get apple to do it. I spoke to them the other day and there is an extended warranty been issued over defective keyboards, so I might get it done for free.

Envez de forzar la bateria hubieras hechado acetato, para despegarlo, el video esta bueno, demuestra que ese modelo es intercambiable. gracias.. por el aporte

can you tell me please where is the keyboard cable connections ?

holy shit... B button is not good but this is crazy, I should just use it. anyway thank you for the good video

13:39 What is the model name of the screwdriver?

This was really designed to ruin my day

This song sounds like an alien's attempt at making human music

Hey could you please do the touch bar? Mine cracked and there’s no light anymore but it still works at times

peccato la canzone da tachicardia, mi ha spappolato il cervello. ma video guida davvero ottima! complimenti e grazie

how it does not work neatly, the lid will be completely scratched, the battery is torn out with meat

Crazy...without disassembly the display 😳😳

what a pain in the butt... no wonder people are filing law suits against apple because the store charger $400 for this service

Mother of God....... I own one of these. I figured I do my own service. Hail no LOL

Think Differently Not Literally

Wie viel würde bei euch dieser Austausch kosten?

Had to take the whole computer apart dang

Hey thank you so much for this video! But this is only keyboard removal, not replacement as stated in the title! How do you install a new keyboard? What do you do with all the rivets?

Very complex

Maybe at the end of the movie you add some small comment from yourself? It would revive a little movie :)

They keep making them harder, we keep repairing them. The only person it really hurts is the customer because they have to pay more for parts and labour

Ouch!...

Well that was stressful

Might never get a MacBook again.

Will this tutorial work on the Macbook pro A1708?

I only have one bad key.

I just wanted to clean my keyboard :(

how to brick a computer because a bad designed keyboard...

I used to replace every part of several windows laptop for years and this made me tired just by looking.

It was at minute 15 that I knew I had fucked up …. Should off watched before beginning. Oh well

After all that and the replacement still won't last either. Clive Sinclair would do something like this on a modern computer, except he made the cheapest machines on the market and Apple makes the most expensive.

I just rip the keyboard to pieces n use a flathead to remove rivets. Lol

Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!! Think I'll just buy a new 1

that isn't ESD safe

Definitely not designed to be repaired.

There is seriously no way someone performs this without fucking up the computer. Go compare this to a 5min plug and play Asus replacement.

Seriously!!!??? WTF Apple!!??

I think I will be selling my Apple stock, Apple has gone off the deep end! They are making terrifically expensive throw away products! POOR design and NOT eco friendly if you have to junk the computer because you cannot easy replace a part like a drive or the keyboard. I know it is not easy to replace a keyboard on a older Macbook, but you dont have to grind out any rivets. You str SOL if you dont have a warranty and from what I here, Apple is farming out their repairs to the cheapest contractor. Sad a Company this rich cant care for their customers and the eco system. a Company dont have more cash than the uS Government if they are not making maximum profits! Shame on you Apple! I would not have a new MacBook. One other thing...Why is it the Computers have to be as thing as they are making them? Makes no sense, they cant cool themselves that tightly packed, so what do they do when you put a load on them, they throttel back the processor slowing it way down after a second or two while you sit an look at your multi thousand dollar computer doing nothing!

good luck anyone trying this lol

Easy😂😂😂

I'd rather buy whole KB assembly with palmrest. Not worth my time to do all this horrendous job knowing that putting new KB will be even bigger pain in the ass.

easy 😂😂😂😂

Ridiculous.

Just buy a new topcase this isnt even worth it 😂

Was painful to watch the rivets on the keyboard being drilled out without any protection anywhere. Metal shavings everywhere. But at least is wasn’t trashed from a bad keyboard.
