YOU ARE THE BEST!!! I was quoted $600 (as a discounted price none the less) to do what you taught me how to do for only $13. I have always suspected Apple of ripping people off like this, but now I have the experience to back it up. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, that’s awesome! Glad I could help! Knowledge is power. You and people like you are why I started the channel. Thanks for watching and please consider subscribing!
I was quoted the same price, $600 for a under $20 fix. Blows my mind.
Yea, pretty crazy what they try to charge. Glad you got it fixed!
What is the of cable ?? Where i buy this one
well now you can start a business and charge that much too~
I’m a physician with zero experience of fixing things, let alone an apple device. I rarely write reviews on RUclips but today I thought it be unfair to you if I didn’t. Because of you, I fixed my MacBook Pro without spending time, energy and money at apple service! You simply ROCK. Keep it up. I’m gonna check out your whole channel just because of of how simple and useful this was 👍👍
I’m so glad it helped you out. These type comments keep me going. I try to show everyone that they can fix things too. You’re a shining example! Thanks for watching!
Omg it worked!!!! I’m speechless. I haven’t been able to use my MacBook for the past two years and kept putting off repairing it. Watched this video, ordered the screwdrivers and cable from your links, and did the repair just now. I can’t thank you enough !!!!!
That’s great! Thanks for watching!
I came here to give you my deepest thanks. I've been dealing with the unresponsive keyboard and trackpad for almost a week now. They would only work at login and then completely be undetectable. I followed your tutorial, expecting to possibly need a new ribbon cable, but I decided to disconnect and then reconnect it, and now they work again! I'm so glad I came across this video; you're the best.
You saved me a new computer... Took it to the apple store and they said "oxidation in the computer." $400 for them to just look at it and $700 for them to fix it if it is oxidation. Saw this video and tried it out and can't believe it worked! You're awesome, dude... keep it up!
That’s great! I’m glad it worked for you! I have found Apple to be useful with software problems, but hardware issues generally get made into bigger deals than they are. Thanks for watching!
You're a lifesaver man! Been having issues with my trackpad/keyboard for like 3 months now and this fixed it in 15 minutes for like $20. Thank you so much!
That’s great, Colin. Glad I could help!
Thank you so much! I am a graphic design professor and I have been using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my MacBook Pro for the last 8 months. My symptoms were identical to those described, but I had no idea the fix could be that simple, that cheap, or that quick! Thanks again!
That's great, I'm so glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching!
Ordered the cable and the screws for less than 25 bucks, repaired it, it works. So amazing! Thanks ❤️
YOU MY FRIEND, ARE A LEGEND!!!! Went to two places and both charged me 200-400 dollars to fix!!! Spent 20 bucks (screw set and cable) and it now works like a charm!!! Thank you!
Awesome, glad I could help! Thanks for watching. Consider subscribing to the channel if you like these kinds of videos.
Thank you so much! Just repaired it and it works again!! I’m traveling out of the country for study abroad and this problem happened days before I was supposed to leave! You saved me a lot of money, time, and stress
That’s great, Lindsey, I’m glad I could help. Thanks for watching and have an amazing time on your adventure!
Yay! Thank you so much!! I’ve been having problems with this computer for a month (the first month of this quarter in college) And was so frustrated. I ordered the part but I cleaned the computer w an air compressor and noticed the sticky part of the ribbon cable was filled with dust so I took that piece off and it’s working perfectly and now I have the new ribbon cable just in case! You are the best!
I was about to buy a new MacBook. Glad I watched this first!!! Thanks so much for the links to exactly what was needed and for the easy to follow video. My keys & trackpad are working fine now :)
That’s great, Mary, glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I have never fixed anything in my life but I watched your video, ordered the parts, watched the video again and fixed it!!! You are amazing! Thank you!!!!
That’s great, Ronald. You’re the person I started the channel for. To show you, you can do it. Now go fix something else! Thanks for watching!
Hi, had the same issue. The first time I followed all the instructions but it still didn't work. So I kept on looking for alternative solutions until I saw that it could have been an issue with the flex cable I ordered (defective). I decided to try again by ordering a new flex cable from a different brand and, miracle, it did work!!!! I am so glad I found out this video and finally fixed my Mac after months that I was using a wired keyboard & mouse, and even bought a new Mac! Thank you so much, you are my saver!!! :)
You are freaking AMAZING!!! Totally purchased what you recommended and did exactly what you said and BOOM! It worked! I’m so psyched, my daughter (whose laptop had the issue) thinks I’m a rockstar and you saved me $150 consultation fee plus whatever they would’ve charged me for the parts and labor. It took less than 15 minutes. BUT you never said how difficult it would be to get those mega tiny, shallow screws to line up in the hole to screw 😂. Thanks Jeff!!
Thanks, so glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching!
This was very helpful, I just had the same problem, my 2015 MacBook Pro keyboard and touch pad suddenly stopped working. I have tried all types of restarts and it didn't help but then after watching this video I just opened up my MacBook and disconnected that cable and put the same cable back in place...thats all I've done and it worked. I was about to order new cable but it seems it just got loose from vibration and daily use of moving laptop. Thank you for your advice! You saved me a lot of time and money!!!
You saved my life. I was told it takes about $200 to repair the Trackpad and Keyboard. After i watch this, I bought the cable, pentalobe, and spare screw for $13. I do as you tell in your video and the problem fixed. You are a hero.
Glad to hear it!
@@IAmAFixer Can't thank you enough
Excellent, worked like a charm - thank you. I managed to get the tools and cable on Amazon UK for about £13 ($17). Followed your video, and the repair was done in 10 minutes.
Just a note to thank you for posting this. I tried your fix for my non-functioning 2015 Macbook Pro and it worked a treat! I'm relieved it was such a simple fix - but the fact that the component failed in an Apple somewhat dented my 'faith' a little in the much touted quality of the brand. Though this was somewhat restored by what I felt was the quality build of the insides of the Mac - certainly by comparison to pretty much all of the other laptops I've opened up over the years... Nicely done but a shame to be let down by one measly and pretty cheap component...
I agree with everything you said. Glad it helped you out!
This worked for my fiancees early 2015 MacBook Pro. Followed the instructions exactly and bought the items from his links. I bought her a new macbook, fixed this one and now it’s mine. Awesome
Glad to hear it worked. Thanks for watching!
I had the same problem back 2018 and I fixed it because of this instead of the overpriced repair fee from Apple. I ordered an extra ribbon cable because I knew at some point in the future this problem will be back. Now, after four years, the anticipated problem occurred and I redid the whole thing, and my old precious Macbook worked perfectly again.
Thanks a lot, Man, for the second time. You are helping a lot of people. :D
That’s great, thanks for sharing. You’re welcome.
I just want to say Thank you. My 15 year old was able to follow your step by step video and was able to change that ribbon out. If I had taken it to Apple that would have been a good $250 or more and prob a week long wait to have it returned back to us. The total cost was $20 for the ribbon and the pentadrivers. Thank you Mr Know it all and Fix it All.
That’s awesome, John. Glad it helped her out. I’ve heard of Apple quoting some people $600 to fix this issue. Crazy. Thanks for watching!
This video damn near saved my life... i was at the end of my rope; jobless, almost evicted and a fridge without food. on top of that my laptop (all i had left) decided to shit out on me.... the local computer shop quoted me $900 for this fix. Same price i paid for the damn computer. that was my lowest point, that quote almost broke me.... somehow by the grace of god i found this video and a community who could relate to my problems.. i mean it when i say this... you guys ARE MY PEOPLE... thank you I Am A Fixer for all you have done. My laptop is now once again functional. I have scored a 6 figure job, the girl of my dreams and my passion for life has returned. I couldn't have done it without you and this amazing community. Thanks again.
jk but hell yeah this video saved me $400 bucks thanks bro lmao
Haha… got me! Great comment, and I’m glad it helped you out!
I was hesitant doing this, but out of frustration I did. It works! Thanks!
That’s great! I’m glad it helped you out!
So I almost went the repair route like many here. We were going to have to wait 10 days and lots of cash for my wife to get her work computer back up and running. After leaving the apple store discouraged, I searched for a solution and found this. I clicked your links for the tools and the parts and had it fixed in less than 30 minutes from start to finish. I was a little unclear about how the clamp on the ribbon cable worked and was pretty nervous I was going to break something, but there was another tutorial that zoomed in closer. My 2 cents is that on those really small components, get close enough that folks viewing on their phones can see it clearly (since our computers aren't working afterall :) ). Thats nit picky. In the end, I enjoyed your delivery and explanation and am grateful for the fact that you bother to share this stuff with all of us.
Glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching!!
You ARE the best!!! Worked like a charm! My daughter & I did it step by step with your video and all worked immediately. Good feeling to fix a hardware problem.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I had the same issue. Just changed the cable cord & it worked! I am amazed because Best Buy told me that it would cost more to repair it than to buy a new computer!
Glad you found the video and it worked!
So far this method has fixed my laptop. Thank you, you saved me from buying a new laptop!
You bet, glad it helped
Thank you so much, I did this repair for just less than £8 uk pounds, once I had the screwdrivers and the new ribbon within three days, the actual repair took me 6 mins. I was so happy and so pleased when it started working again, apple wanted to charge me £390 which is the flat charge for this repair.
Glad it worked, thanks for watching!
Dude, I just changed the battery in my mid 2015 macbook pro and the keyboard would not work after powering it on, mouse did though. I did a quick search and found this video and thought well, lets take it apart and check the cable, I removed it and replaced it again, put it all together and it works perfect now. I got the idea from your video. thanks brother...
Glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing!
Worked like a charm! Thank you! Fixed it on my own for $19 vs $169+tax at a third-party repair shop.
Thank you very much for this video. The Service Center People Quoted me $400 to repair. I change cable as per your guide and it`s worked. Thank you so much for the video again.
That’s great, Kiran. I’m glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Hi, thanks for your video. I also have this issue.But mine is more complicated: the narrow board the cable connected to has burnt. Do you know what that long, narrow board is called? I think I need one that board as well.
Thanks much! You saved me so much cash. People like you make everyone's day better.
Thanks man, I’m glad I could help, and glad you got it fixed. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much!!!! This solved my friend's problem and you made it so simple for us to understand and we fixed it ourselves! We ordered the part and tools needed and it works!! Amazing! Thank you a thousand times!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped you out.
This worked, I’m so happy. I bought the tools and parts from your links. Thank you so much!
You’re welcome, Glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for this video. Fixed my MacBook pro. A local repair place wanted $400 and this cost me less than 20.
Thank you for your very educational video. Do you know how I can find the two screws that hold the Trackpad bracket down?
Hi. You are the best.Thank you! I bought the cable and did like the Video. Now my MackBook Pro work again. THANK YOU YOU ARE AMAZING.
Thank you for your video tips, MacBook working fine. One thing observed that when the power button pressed, there is a slight delay to display.
Awesome! Glad it helped. Not sure about the delay. Thanks for watching!
Hey great video! I think I broke that black plastic tab that you flip up. I’m not sure what to do I have it in my hand ...
Hi there! Thank you for this as I tried all the other short cuts for repairing this problem with the keyboard & trackpad. I just installed a new trackpad cable but the problem isn’t solved. Do you have any idea what else by be the issue with this? I don’t really want to have to buy an external keyboard. Many thanks 🙏🏻💫
Adding to the list of positive testimonies in the comments. This worked for me too! I used the cable that was available via the Amazon link. I really appreciate this video.
Yes, sir, glad I could help!
Hi man! i'm really appreciate You that You have done that video. Now my mac pro function great. The company wanted for repairing around 600 dollars. I fixed it for 5 dollars. Amazing! It's really works!
Thanks, Oleksandr, I’m glad it helped you. It’s crazy how much people have been quoted to fix this simple issue. Thanks for watching!
Hi thanks for the great video. Unfortunately I managed to snap off the little tab that clamps down on the Zif connector (super flimsy). What do you suggest as a fix to help the ribbon cable bed down onto the connectors?!!!
Super helpful. You saved me a least $200. I just paid fo the ribbon and the screwdrivers around 23 bucks. Thanks a lot
You bet! Glad it helped you out!
Hey fixer dude, So glad i found your channel!
The link says the screwdrivers are out of stock at the moment, are you getting some more soon?
Thanks in advance
Those are mine screwdrivers. Just try looking for 2015 MacBook Pro pentalobe screwdriver
big big thank you to you! I have been thinking about getting a new MacBook Air and your video saved my mbp. I was not sure I can fix it especially I didn’t think i slipped the bottom section right. But it worked! Omg, thank you sooo much. I will show my experience to my friends and also add your clip link. Can’t thank you more!
Glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching!
My trackpad and keyboard would stop working after I would close and open my laptop. My solution was to just never close it. Except for one day when I opened it and couldn't get my trackpad or keyboard to work again no matter what I tried. I bought the ribbon cable off Amazon and followed your steps and boom everything works perfectly again. Thanks for saving me from having to buy a new laptop! Cheers!
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video mate, just brought my MacBook keyboard and trackpad back to life, this saved me hundreds of pounds in the UK, Cheers Buddy
Fantastic, glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this super helpful video! After seeing the part where you say the cable seems a bit loose after removing the plate, I turned my computer upside down and pressed on the same spot (without opening it up). I turned it back upright and pressed on the spot above my trackpad, powered on my computer, and I'm typing this from my built in keyboard again woo!!! So I'm pretty sure it's just a loose cable that needs to be reseated. Ordering the screwdrivers now and will get the cable if it seems like it needs to be replaced. Thanks again and again!
That’s great! Glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching.
After reading your comment I tried what you said, turned mac upside down and pushed down on area thats the back of the trackpad, then turned it over and pushed hard there also. It worked! But i think im going to order the ribbon cable and the screwdrivers cos it keeps getting displaced. Did yours become faulty again after you did what you mentioned?
@@seetruth304 I did wind up needing to replace the cable per the instructions here and haven't had a problem since! It was scary but I did it and I'm still quite proud of myself 😅 It was pretty easy though - you can do it!
Thanks for the info!! I didn't even have to buy a cable. I just disconnected and reseated the connectors and everything was back to normal. Don't know if that will last, but I figure it's worth a try before buying another cable.
Fantastic, glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching.
Do the same ribbon cables work for 15" inch MacBooks as well or only 13"
Tip for anyone having the same problem: before replacing the cable with a new one, just open the Macbook and clean it up a little bit. I was desperate but i just took of the cable, clean it and now the computer works better than before. Anyway, thank you a lot for this video, you saved me hundreds of euros and days of mantainance.
No problem, thanks for the tip.
How did you clean it? Do I need compressed air? I just opened it and it’s extremely dusty all over Or if the creator sees this can you please make a video! I’m a desperate college student😭😭
@@van3ssaaaaa At the time of my comment I think I just cleaned the cable itself. I unplugged it, cleaned from the dust with a cloth, the plugged it back in. If you want to clean the rest of the logic board you can use a soft brush and a vacuum. Softair may damage some parts.
Great video! Thanks! Is there a way to fix my arrow down key that does not respond anymore?
Legend! Saved me a ton. The new cable is a bit of a pain not being pre shaped but it works! 😁👍🏻
Thank you so much. I have tried all the tricks but no success . Now I watch your video. It worked . 🙏
That’s great, Kassim. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the help! Safe boot fixed it for me. But, if safe boot alone fixes the issue then it seems to be more like a software problem rather than with the hardware, no?
Yes, more than likely. I would probably back up my data to an external drive, then do a complete format and reinstall if MacOS. I’d the problem is resolved, then it was definitely a software issue.
man this is an old vid but it saved me from spending a lot of money. Thank you Thank you. Costed me 19$ for the screw drivers and the rippon on Amazon. Yessszir
mine is triggering the click when I pass the finger, it may be a defect in the TrackPad or just the Flex cable ??? thanks .
Thank you so much! Saved me $500. Really helpful the way you explained. Good job!
That’s great, so glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. First I did not believe it will work. But I was able to fix my keyboard and trackpad issue following the video.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you. Works perfect. In Barcelona a shop wanted to charge me 300 euros for changing the keyboard and trackpad without explaning what was going on.
Great, glad I could help. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much! your tutorial is much a lifesaver after the official technical support has given up your case.
Thanks so much, I have just fixed my Mac Pro using your instructions. You are the MAN !!!
You’re welcome! Glad it helped you out.
Man THANK YOU SO MUCH, they asked me 70 euros to fix it, when thanks to you I spent only 12 euros!
You’re welcome, glad I could help!
This is amazing and worked on my Macbook Pro!! Thank you buddy
Glad it helped!
Thanks for this video! I followed your instructions exactly and now My keyboard and trackpad works!. Saved a lot!
That’s great, Tosin. Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
I replaced a battery yesterday and also a new trackpad cable. The cable is fully seated, I did an SMC and PRAM reset method and still no trackpad or keyboard. The key oard does work to do the SMC reset using control, alt and left shift or whatever the sequence is but once booted neither work still....they worked perfect before battery replacement and I've done MANY of these on 2013-2015 machines. Thoughts? Could the trackpad have got damaged? I doubt it as I'm careful but you never know and if so, would that cause keyboard to also not work once booted up? A1502 13" retina early 2015 i7 3.1Ghz. thank you.
Amazing tutorial, thanks for this useful and considerate video.
Thanks, Mahai. I’m glad it helped you!
Hello Sir/Dr. I have a macbook pro 15.4 late 2009 and my keyboard cable is loosed the material to join to motherboard ( I mean the metal ways that like a comb going to the motherboard got damage). so, my computer doesn't on. Do you know if I can repair the comb way of the head of data cable to the connector using some soldier materials or there is no way and I have change the whole keyboard? I've subscribed your video and liked it. I'm waiting to hear your idea. Thanks.
Thank you very much!! This helped me fix the problem.
I’m actually wondering if anyone experienced this failure again after fixing it cause I’m little anxious it might happen again and I’m sick of carrying external keyboard all the time.
Mine failed after about 2 years, then I did the same fix again and I’m going on 18 months off that repair.
I Am A Fixer Thanks again! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for now.
Hi You are the Best i just receive the piece and fixed my wife computer it omg is been 1 year using keyboard and mouse through bluetooth and now we both so happy. Apple wanted $400 to check it out and thanks to you her computer is working like new. it works perfectly Thank you so much
That’s great, Erick, so glad you got it fix. Great job, and thanks for watching!
Hello. Could you please tell me what the part is called where you connect the ribbon cable on the bottom end (the opposite side where that plate is) techs here in Mexico tell me I have fried the ribbon cable and that part it connects onto due to humidity and I need to buy both. Please could you tell me where I could find this part
Thank you very much
Thank you so much for posting this information!! It saved me a lot of money.
You’re welcome. Glad it helped!
Hey man, thanks a lot for the video - subscribed! Can I ask if you know, does this work with the same Macbook pro model but for non-retina? As in, do I buy the same cable? Thanks!
Thanks, glad to have you. I’m really not sure. I think the internals of the non retina are completely different. You could open the bottom and take a look. If they look the same as the video, then yes, should be the same. It not, probably a different cable.
what is a good aftermarket brand for a keyboard replacement?
Thanks a lot fixed it by following this vid for under £20 tech shop was trying to charge me £80 glad i came across this and did it myself
Glad to hear!
Hi, nice work!
My mp pro 15" 2015 only keyboard doesnt work, touchpad works, you think this fix will work only for the keyboard?
Thanks 😉
My daughter fixed her laptop with this video + $18 (part and tools) + 10 minutes. Thanks!
That’s great, I’m glad it helped her out!
Fabulous! You are a hero! Just fixed my sons Mac. i was looking for this connector and couldnt find it. I didnt change the ribbon cable, just wiggled it back an forth and replugged the other end a couple of times. I guess the contacts get bad and just need a bit of cleaning by moving them.
Great video!! Thank you. Same thing happened on my early 2015 13"Pro after replacing a bloated battery.
Very well put together video. I just finished trying everything exactly as you explained it, and it didn’t work for me! I wonder if i am doing something wrong. I have a 2015 MacBook Pro and when I turn it on the touchpad won’t allow me to push down on it (or use the curser) and the keyboard doesn’t work. The only key that works is the power button. I can’t imagine where I went wrong with the new cable that I just put in :(
A couple of ideas. I would open it back up and reseat the cable on both ends. If it still doesn’t work, I would order a 2nd one and try again (maybe the first order was defective). It is a relatively inexpensive part to try again. If neither of those work, it is probably the touchpad which is more expensive and a more involved. Someone else who watched the channel tried the cable first (which didn’t work), then swapped the touchpad and that fixed it. You should be able to find his comments somewhere below this video. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video! Replacing the cable of my 2016 macbook pro was the solution to my problem.
That’s great I’m glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching!
Dude! Saved me a bunch of cash! I literally just gave it the old n64 treatment (blew the dust off the connector and plugged back in)
Keyboard and trackpad are back!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! I am a nurse and don’t anything about computers! This video is incredible! Thank you! Parts a cheap, and the fix works!
Glad it helped you out. Thanks for watching!
You are literally the best, real life saver, yeah, I just need open that little cap and reconnect, keyboard and touchpad are back to normal, take me just one minute to solve all this, thank you so much
Thank you so much! Your video helped me fix my laptop and saved me hundreds of dollars
You’re welcome, Chase, glad it helped you out!
Perfect video. It works great. Easy fix. THANK YOU.
You’re welcome, glad it helped!
Thank you brother you save me! I never thought it would be working again.
That’s great, I’m glad I could help!!
You are the man! Thank you for posting this! 20 bucks on Amazon including the screwdrivers and my Mac works now.
Awesome. Glad it helped you. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the video.
Let me explain my issue.
My battery did not charge any longer. I have replaced it and now it works. I was about closing back the mac, and everything was working, then suddenly both trackpad and keyboard stopped. I have followed the instructions and replaced the cable. Now the trackpad works again, but keyboard doesn't. Strange thing is that the CAPS LOCK button has light on, but no button works (including caps lock: if I click it it does not happen anything; the only button that works is power on/off). As a consequence, I cannot enter the password. do you know how to reactivate/unlock the keyboard by chance? Is there maybe another cable to replace or a connector I might have damaged to check for?
Thank @
everything is ordered, I hope I'll do it well. Thank you nonetheless for teaching us
Good luck!
Hi! In my case, just a few keys stopped working (J, K, L). The first time, I reset the PRAm and SMC and it worked, the second time they stopped working I pressed the 3 Keys at the same time and they came back to life. This 3rd time I had no luck :( Do you think changing that ribbon could help?? Thank you!!!
You are a Legend! Sorted out my macbook pro thanks to this video, nice one pal
Thanks! I’m glad it helped you. Thanks for watching!
Thankyou! Works perfectly.
Note: I didn’t pull apart the battery connector in case I ripped something apart I wasn’t supposed to. Still worked!
Thanks
Awesome! Thanks for watching and sharing!
Worked for me as well. My mac didn't turn on immediately had to give it an uncomfortable amount of time before it eventually turned on.
Great! Glad it helped and thanks for the tip on giving it time to boot!
What is the of cable ?? Where i buy this one
The links are in the video description...
Touchpad Ribbon Cable: amzn.to/2jIvuP6
Screw Drivers: amzn.to/2EkphQV
Hi I have tried this process and it worked for a day, i think its the actual track pad that's gone have you got a tutorial on how to open it up and replace that actual track pad it would be greatly appreciated
If it worked for a day, then I would suspect you maybe have a loose connection on that cable. Open it up and reseat the cable on both ends. If you still have issues, then I would explore replacing the touchpad. Thanks for watching!
I am missing the black tap, is this a problem? It popped completely off while I was removing the cable during my battery replacement.
So happy after watching your video, ordered the ribbon and the tools. The symptoms of my MBP are exactly the same as you described but at the end it did not work for me. :-(
After changing the cable i notice after hitting the power button it takes about 6 sec to turn on and not immediately as it used to.
