I can related to this comment! I will be cursing so much that the mic will get tired of me cursing! I might do a video soon haha (It will say: NOT suitable for children under 18 LOL)

It's alright! When you have nothing to lose then you try anything lol - I mean especially if you have no warranty and your keyboard is screwed up and no money to repair it then you attack it with a dremel (sometimes, It's the only option lol )

Don’t dremel! If you force the keyboard out, the rivets just pop out, revealing screw holes. I use a sharpened flat screwdriver to pop out any rivets still in the chassis Then using screws you can fix in the new keyboard. Screw packs for apple unibody keyboards are on eBay for a few pounds and fit perfectly. It’s the same for retina models too.

The way mac computers are designed, he should charge twice that lol

Yea, it’s hold really well. Just be careful - not to much glue. Actually also the mainboard is holding the whole keyboard construction. Use any strong “5 second glue”. Good luck! :)

KB won't be as good as before repair. That's for sure. Glue instead of rivets will bring wobbly shaky crappy feeling.

@@victorrumyantsev3718speaking from experience or just guessing?

ifixit (one year later lol)

I think not, just try to fix just this one key

That looks like a regular super glue!

Just use some “5 second super glue”, or any other strong epoxy.

If you have experience around 2 hours; without 4-5 hours or even more. It is real not easy.

If you buy a new keyboard there is no reason why it shouldn't work (Unless you are 1 inn a million unlucky people lol)

you ca buy that anywhere online

the black folie. thanks!

Hi. Where are you from?

New Jersey

Long way to Europe ;-)

lol same, just happened few days ago, everything works fine except the keyboard and one USB port :< Im really worried idk what to tell my dad lmao

As many failures that have been reported there should be a healthy market for keyboard replacements.

Have you ever heard of Aliexpress or ebay?

Those were not screws, the ones which he cuts with the grinder in the previous video(Part-1) were Rivets.

Look on AliExpress

It’s a normal “super glue” for 1$

Possibly you teared the data flex from the battery. If the SDA and / or SDC lines are interrupted, the battery cannot talk to the SMC and the Charge controller anymore. Inspect the battery closely. If you are lucky you just killed the removeable flex from the battery's pcb to the mainboard, but changes are more probable that you killed the data flex on the battery pack itself.

Nope. The casing is too thin.

Not true imho, the casing is not too thin. The rivet holes are thinner then the 'old' rivet holes in the air and retina's though. My process is to tear out te keyboard (will come out in a lot of pieces), remove the rivet leftovers (designed a tool for that myself) and then use a 0.9mm drillbit to widen the holes. These holes are then perfectly suitable to receive the old fashioned keyboard screws to reattach the keyboard. No glue required whatsoever and a firmly attached keyboard as a result. Moreover, this way it is a repair that can be repeated whenever neccessary. It's a painstaking job, not cheap, but still much cheaper then sending it to Apple and have the whole topcase including battery replaced. Done about a dozen now, not a job that I enjoy, prefer to repair logicboards instead. but hey, it comes with the job ;-)

Have you got any videos? Can you please explain this sentence further: "remove the rivet leftovers (designed a tool for that myself) and then use a 0.9mm drillbit to widen the holes" What tool did you design? How are the holes then suitable to use with the screws?

@@SilentG20 You have to for example take a little bigger flat screwdriver and bend it and almost cut it like a crowbar but you have to make where it meet pointy like a v cut in a 45 degree angle and it will act like a hook. If you have the corners sharp enough. Remove the keyboard, i prefer do use a dremel tool to take the rivets because you will easily deform the alu casing. When old keyboard is removed the pointy things is the only thing left after the rivets hat are removed. Use the modified screwdriver to wiggle it on the sides, not to hard and they should fall off. Don´t use it like a crowbar like you do on nails,wiggle it to the sides right and left.

@@LogicWheels What screws fit in the 0.9 mm?

Because the new keyboard doesn't come with the sticky cover! it also looks like he used a regular super glue and the weight is to straighten the keyboard flat while the glue dries!

Or buy a Pro computer worthy of that name. This stuff is disposable rubbish. Even Dell will come to your home or office and fix your computer, the reason Apple don't as they know their customers are fanatics and they also know their computers can't be easily and quickly fixed on-site.

Former Apple user btw, not the usual Apple hater.

The 2017 version Keyboards are defective! I have the same problem as I'm tying this.. (Few scotch tape around some lol)

top case is 350$

@@ekhmoi4552 750 for the 15"

I took my Macbook Pro 13" 2017 for service 3 days ago because there were some keys that weren't working that well. I applied for the "word service campaign for Macbook keyboards" and they just put a brand new top case in my mac. I hope it solves the issue!

My touch bar worked before the keyboard replacement and stopped working after. After some debug, I found that under the corner of the motherboard that has the touch bar connector (near the hinge closest to the keyboard's "1" button) there is a short "elbow" ribbon cable with a small component (with a metal top) on the end that is meant to be flush with the back of the keyboard. This component was not sitting as low as it did before the keyboard replacement, so when the motherboard was screwed down, the metal top of the component made contact with something on the motherboard, stopping the touch bar from lighting up due to a short circuit. I fixed it by putting a small piece of tape (I used Kapton tape) over the component as well as on the motherboard in that area (you can see several gold test points there on the motherboard along with a couple of very small components)

Yes. Up to 4 years from DOP

LarrysNetTube my “K” key broke off and warranty expired, does this still apply? Or need AppleCare? Ugh it annoys me tremendously
