Thank you so much for this article!! Fixed my “D” key in a snap. Really glad I found this before whipping out the super glue…

I’ve got three keys off and the plungers are missing. No spare keyboard, and I live in Alaska. Any chance you have som you want to sell me? A little desperate here…

One of my mac book pro key got poked out by my son, I took it to apple shop and they told me the spring under the key was broken, they can only replace the whole keyborad which gonna cost me A$3xx, am I still able to replace the key like that, I can’t type question mark now (the broken key) and I really don’t want to spend money to replace the whole key just because there is one broken key, your advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I have a problem recently with few keys of my MacBook Pro 15′ Mid-2010.
I live in a boat. I remember it falling inside the boat after a big wave, and I can’t remember water falling on it.
Anyway, recently, I realized that few keys (although they are not actually broken like the ones you repaired in this post) don’t work… They are all in the same area… P, M, Enter, -/_, 0 etc.

It looks like humidity to me… doesn’t it?
Could you tell me if there is a way (dry spray, contact cleaning product etc.) to clean them without having to change the whole keyboard?
Thanks for advising…

All the best, and keep writing!

I was removing my command key to replace it and now it acts like it is always being pressed – even before putting the new key in. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Umm, excuse me, but have you got any idea on how to fix slightly unresponsive keys? I’m a fan fiction writer, you see, and my e key is completely broken (I use copy and paste to paste it in), and my r and w keys are becoming increasingly unresponsive. I now have to forcefully push my w key until it makes several clicking sounds, and then it starts to work slightly. When I do push it in from the edges, it makes the clicking sound like I mentioned before. Is this a broken hook?

Great site. The photos are outstanding. I’m looking for a “how-to” book on servicing a MacBook because I live two hours from the nearest Mac fix-it place. Simple upgrading things like adding memory, replacing HD’s, fans, etc. I’m not a techno-nerd but I’m an innovator and good with small fiddly stuff such as making gun parts when I have to. Any recommended instruction books?
