You just saved me $700. I cant thank you enough...

My MacBook wont stay powered off. Did you all repair with it powered on? if not, how do you get it to stay off?

Thank YOU!!!!!!!!

Very helpful, thanks very much,that video helps me a lot!!!

STEP BY STEP GUIDE: 1. The video is pretty much accurate but missing few key points (follow the instructions in this video!!) 2. Remove broken keycap, hinge. 3. Use %100 alcohol and the box cutter blade or a needle to drop some alcohol between the transparent plastics(x3) and the board for easier and safer removal. 4. Use %100 alcohol to clean the board (I used ear tips) and the blower to remove dirt/stains as well as likely small bits of the broken spacebar. If you don't have a blower, use torch to make sure it's clean. 5. Place the hinge correctly (see in video 2:27 ) 6. Clean the transparent plastics(x3) if needed. 7. Positions of the plastics MATTERS (most likely) --left and right. There're tiny cut outs which will guide you which one goes to which side 3:45 , 3:59 . If it was for the left side: little cut out would be at the bottom right. Mirror the other side. SUPER GLUE these parts where double side sticky tapes previously were. When the glue applied, press firmly on the plastic (I used the blower to speed up), while waiting for the glue to catch use some tool to jiggle the hinge. It should have relevantly lots of backlash. --middle section. The metal two dot side towards you, single pointy side towards screen. (You can see on the board little wear from the pointy side) DON'T GLUE middle section. Firmly press on both sides of the button so the 4 pins go back in place. 8. Just wait. Leave the fixed button for at least 10 minutes while the glue doing its job and casually jiggle the hinge (not much backlash at this stage) 9. 10:58 place the keycap as showed in video. You want to hear ALL 4 clicks. Go from the one top side to the other (press really firm until you hear the click. 10. Test it. READ MY STORY: Spilled a drink. Many of the keys became sticky. Removing keycaps using a guitar pick or a proper tool is very easy (not the spacebar) When I cleaned for the first time I didn't have %100 alcohol and used hand sanitiser. It didn't work. Still sticky keys. As per my research, it doesn't matter if you use isopropyl or ethanol. To operate with the substances I used toothpicks and ear tips. I followed the video and read comments when tried to fix the bar first time. The spacebar went flat with no recoil. When trying to remove the keycap, broke the clips. (if this is the case for you, search a relevant video how to safely remove the keycap) On my first attempt I made sure to have an original spacebar. Second attempt, ordered from AliExpress (really same quality) The reasons of your spacebar not functioning correctly could be: stains on the board, wrong position of the plastics, glued middle section or the pins of the left and/or right transparent plastics, glued hinge (as mentioned jiggle wiggle it slightly during the process), faulty replacement set. If the spacebar seems to stay in place and travels normally, likely you have damaged the logic board. My space bar now works %100 perfect+. Don't mind to comment and ask questions. Disclaimer: I'm not a native English speaker. Good luck.

I did everything as in the tutorial and my space bar is flat :( idk what to do differently...

hey, can someone tell me how to take out the clear parts? thanks!

what was prise ?

if my butterfly mechanism is still in tact and just the spacebar key needs replacement then do i just start my repair from 10:50

Thank you. Most helpful vid out there for this

Amazing! You've.saved my writing nights!

The best demonstration video, thank you so much

THANK YOU! Apple refused to help me since my purchase date was 4 years and 2 weeks post purchase date, and their keyboard replacement program for butterfly keys is only good for 4 years. It would figure that right past that date is when the spacebar went kaput. I was quoted $550 to fix this. Your video was the only one I found that clearly showed, step by step, how to do this. Everyone else basically says its impossible. I bought a replacement key on Amazon for $20, and followed your video. Thankfully the existing glue didn't gunk up on me so I was able to reapply without glue. Thank you so much for posting this!

Literally THE BEST video!

Finally a good demonstration of this repair. This is my third attempt. First two I used regular super glue which was harder to work with. Got the gel this time. One note.. direction of the clear middle piece matters. Test the direction before gluing

oh my godall the other videos didnt work. they didnt tellm e there is the transparent part YOUCAN DETACH. ibroke my new one.. but will buy again :(. thank you somuch. even pointing outwhichis topandbbotoom..

Unforfunately, it doesn't work for me. I've tried all tuto on youtube, and nothing. The single crochets don't want to stay in place. They did not want to hang on the background. Each time, the double crochets hangs well, but the single get stuck in tne small iron rods. However, I use glue, but the white bar does not hold at the bottom on the background.

Does the clear pieces hold the butterfly mechanism in place? When I put the clear pieces on mine the butterfly mechanism comes right off

Every other video has been putting the hinge upside down (opposite of what you did) and have acted like they fixed the spacebar. This is the first vid where you actually restore the movement of the spacebar

I just received my spare parts from China and installed my spacebar. You missed one important thing: when you remove the central transparent bit, it's important you put it back on the same way, so the two metal pins hit the big metal plate.

Thank you I have fixed the old by seeing your steps

Thanks so much for putting all the minor detail in this video 👍

thank you!

This video procedure was better detailed than the others. In particular, it showed me that I did not have the correct bar on the white carriage pointed away from the screen earlier, so the c-shaped barbs could not engage when putting the space bar on. I also found it was not necessary to replace the left and right sticky half barbells in the beginning as was done in the video; I was able to use the old ones by bending one of them up slightly to fit the white carriage back in. Good video.

could you please tell me where you buy the space + mechanism?, I found one with the middle little black button, but it doesn't work as expected when I push the space bar at the sides :(

Hey! You actually showed me how to fix it better than the “official Apple Store” here in Canada did it! 😊nice! Thanks

yournarrationwasentertaining

awesome video can listen to your vice for hours! Thanks for your help in fixing Amy keyboard and saving me money

I clicked your link to the parts and they are no longer available?

Thank you! This video saved me $600. Great Job <3

THANK YOU! You saved my 2017 MacBook!

Thank you so much, you saved my life:) I have exact same problem, but I didn't realize I ripped out the butterfly mechanism along with space bar

i love how natural and organic this choreo feels. lovely job as well!🫶

Thank you! Bought a new space + mechanism half a year ago, didn’t do it right. Broke the new clips, didn’t take enough time to do it properly. Your video got me to order a new set and now I did it good. Removed all the two sided tapes and used glue as well. Thank you for your time and effort to help us through the process ❤

your mom

You are a GENIUS! Thank you for saving me money :)

THANK YOU this is so so helpful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Excellent! Thank you so much! I ended up buying the kit twice because I wasn't paying close enough attention and broke the first one. It cost me 50 instead of 25, but still a big win! Thanks for taking the time to do the video!

Thanks so much for this took me 2 hours to figure this out until your video and then just a couple minutes! You rock!! Fixed!!!

thank you so much for this in depth video, it really helped me out! Especially in the middle of finals with all the paper writing i have to do, i could not afford the price or the time it would to take to send in my laptop for a repair ! appreciate you :) thanks

you are amazing! I broke my spacebar today and I was too cheap to purchase a new one, so I install the broken space bar back with your method and it still work with a few broken legs, I didn't even use super clue to ensure they are in stick in the right place but it turned out so well. thank you so much for your video.

Thank you so much, you saved my life<3

It's unavaible on amazon but have some on aliexpress and its cheaper

This video just saves me! Service is not available for me for certain reasons. Thank you for a clear and accurate explanation.

Thank you so much! This was the best tutorial I found on the space bar and now my space bar works!

Thank you!!! I broke mine last week and bought a replacement online and fixed it all by myself because of this video! 😂😂😂

are there any other spacebars?? The one in this video is out of stock and it says that they don't know when or if it'll be back in stock.

What a smart woman really inspired me

Does it work as perfect as it was before? I mean the tactility feeling and touching?

thank you so much omg haha exactly what I needed
